Features: This series of twenty volumes, "China Fine Art and Calligraphy Auction Intelligence," and five volumes, "Ancient Rare Books Auction Intelligence," encompass nearly a thousand renowned Chinese fine artists and calligraphers, 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 fine art and rare books from the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. The series provides rich and detailed content to help collectors and investors gain a comprehensive understanding of the auction market, offers thorough appreciation information for art enthusiasts, and highlights the significant appreciation potential in art investment. Some artists' seals and inscriptions are also selected and presented separately. While existing books on seals and inscriptions primarily focus on ancient artists, there is a notable lack of coverage on 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 neither has the capability nor the intention to authenticate the authenticity 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.
