Publish Date: 2007-01-01
Features: This volume, richly illustrated, provides a concise and systematic introduction to the development of Chinese calligraphy and painting from the Jin Dynasty to the present, with a particular focus on modern and contemporary works. The ancient works included are primarily from museum collections, while the modern and contemporary works are mainly from private collectors (some are from auction houses), ensuring the reliability of the information. This volume has three distinctive features: First, it is the first to evaluate the rarity of private collection works using a ten-level system. Second, it conducts intrinsic value assessments based on the artistic achievements of the works, though this assessment may not align with current market prices. Third, it provides a comprehensive prediction of the works' value, evaluating their potential for appreciation in the future, offering collectors a relatively scientific reference. Some of the methods adopted in this book are experimental, aimed at disseminating correct and scientific knowledge of cultural relic collection, guiding consumers to rational consumption, and protecting them from misleading false information and erroneous theories in the market. The ten-level system established in this volume is a method for grading and evaluating works based on comprehensive factors such as artistic level, and is provided for collectors' reference.
