Features: This series of twenty volumes, "China Fine Art and Calligraphy Auction Intelligence," and five volumes, "Ancient Fine Books Auction Intelligence," encompass nearly a thousand renowned Chinese fine art and calligraphy masters, millions of domestic auction records, and over thirty well-known domestic and international auction houses. It comprehensively showcases the fluctuations and changes in the Chinese fine art and calligraphy auction market over the past two decades, with a particular focus on the market trends of late Qing Dynasty and early Republican era fine art and ancient fine books. The series provides rich and detailed content to help collectors and investors gain a comprehensive understanding of the auction market for fine art and calligraphy, offers complete appreciation information for art enthusiasts, and highlights the significant appreciation potential in art investment. Some selected calligraphers and painters also have their seals and inscriptions presented separately. Among the existing books on calligraphers' and painters' seals and inscriptions, there is a tendency to focus on ancient masters, with a notable absence of modern and contemporary artists. This series fills this gap, making a valuable contribution to the field. The content of the series strives for comprehensiveness, accuracy, and vividness, making it highly practical. As a reference book primarily intended to provide information and data, most of the visual materials are sourced from the annual catalogs of various auction houses. However, the series does not claim or intend to undertake the task of authenticating the authenticity or forgery of the selected works. It is hoped that readers will compare and analyze the works during their reading, which may help enhance their appreciation skills.
