Features: "China Oil Painting Auction Intelligence" series, which includes 248 active Chinese contemporary and modern oil painters in the oil painting market in recent years, involving thousands of auctioned works. Arranged in chronological order of the artists' lifetimes, the series is compiled into 6 volumes. Compared to similar books in the market, this series has its own format and characteristics. First, it targets the frontline oil painting market, directly selecting auction information from the long-term sales records of dozens of auction houses across the country, providing guidance for investors. It helps investors understand the basic development of the Chinese oil painting market, the current collection status, and predict future trends. Second, the series is rich in content, compiling short biographies for each oil painter and introducing their artistic styles. The selected works include detailed auction information such as images, creation dates, materials, dimensions, estimated prices, actual prices, artist signatures, auction houses, and auction dates, which are valuable for collectors. The series strives for comprehensive, detailed, and visual information, making it highly practical for reference. "Prosperity promotes collection, chaos values gold." Since the 1990s, the art auction industry has rapidly risen in the Chinese market, and art collection has expanded from primarily national cultural and institutions to a broader range of social strata. Particularly in economically developed regions, art investment has become the "second investment" for many private entrepreneurs. However, driven by economic interests, counterfeit and imitation works have emerged in large numbers. For collectors and buyers, selecting valuable artworks from a vast and mixed pool of oil paintings, ensuring that the auction prices align with their true values, is like receiving "snow in the cold." Considering economic and market factors, regions along the coast with higher marketization levels of auctioned items are expected to perform better than other areas. Key distribution should focus on art bookstores, collection bookstores, and some galleries and auction houses. The series also includes "China Calligraphy and Painting Auction Intelligence," which can be recommended together. This book features oil paintings and auction information from artists such as Luo Zhongli, He Dalong, Chen Yiming, Yu Xiaofu, Zhou Changjiang, Liu Derun, Lei Shuang, and Chen Yiming.
