Jingdezhen ceramics collection speculation fever is still rising

 pottery "pregnant then" transaction price: 257,600 yuan

Autumn 2008 film, the major auction companies have already smell of this financial crisis brought about by art market will inevitably affect, have to adjust strategy to reduce the number of auction is common practice in most companies, but this piece of contemporary ceramic art Mining has also become a treasure-house for several large companies an important element of the strategic plan.

China Guardian and Beijing's contemporary ceramics special, special purple, Beijing Rong Bao special porcelain painter painting people can not help the success of the current high expectations of contemporary ceramics, but also of doubt: arts and crafts exhibition, the artist painted porcelain works There are purple contemporary works, or the rise of speculation? Who in the last laugh in the end?

Contemporary Ceramics Auction in 2012 the last thing, should belong to a new, accompanied by the emergence of the things the development of some of these phenomena can be a reflection of the things in the development of a number of issues, which were observed, and further of analysis, it is hoped that the auction of contemporary ceramics that can go smoothly, a little faster growth.

Let us start with the auction on auction ceramics as a deconstruction of the phrase: "Modern and Contemporary Ceramic Art."

First, "contemporary" attribute this time, if we say that the context of this large ceramic art is contemporary art belonging to a branch, then the recent auction of ceramics auction overall it appears that some embarrassment: subject matter or whether it is creative and Modern and Contemporary Art are not quite match, even if there are some contemporary art works of the pieces, but also can not change this situation.

Followed by the "art" of this phrase, because ceramics gives the impression more and feel are areas of arts and crafts, is more a reflection of hand-craftsmanship is a number of craftsmen products, rather than works of art, up to and the "clay figurine Zhang" look like the golf.

It was in this vague background, contemporary ceramic art auction has passed the eventful year of 2008 will be several auction companies in the spring and autumn auctions a comb, we can see several phenomena which are worth noting :

Auction fundamentals normal

Jiade spring from the fall of shot making transactions rankings can be seen: in spring and autumn turnover before the auction of several great chances to repeat, that is to say, including LI Jusheng, Zhu Geng Le, Health, and several other powerful  artists Whether in spring or autumn, are in hot pursuit of the object of collectors, the price is the highest previous.

The same auction company in can also be seen: Wang Takao,  land, such as spring and autumn is a leader in the auction. Including the introduction of porcelain painting masters auction company Rong Bao, its first auction of paintings champion is the most famous top - Fan Zeng. These strengths to send home the artist is always in hot pursuit of the object of possession.

We can also from a number of auction transactions, see the classic works of cases charm. For example, Guardian 1623 Spring Auction No. auction, raw glaze paint ceramic plates, "Angels", delicate composition, painting works fine, under the dim moonlight of forest trees, habitat playing, resting overflow of the lake as if covered with refreshing the snow, the whole works to create a dense artistic realm, make the high price of 420,000.

Professor Zhong Liansheng is also in the Guardian in the autumn of 1621 auction auction, Glazed ceramic plate painting "Spring wind again", the traditional themes Boy cattle, because the screen is reflected by the vibrant spirit of the times, as well as solid foundation of the painting, the same make of the 420,000 of high prices, the performance of good works has always been stable.

This is the overall fundamentals of ceramic auction, the entire auction is able to embody the artist's true strength, ceramic works of art of real value, but also a true reflection of market supply and demand relationship, this ceramic auction the most basic level, do not go beyond the art market The most common phenomenon.

School popular artists

Jiade auction almost Jingdezhen Ceramic Institute and associated artists to occupy a half of these artists either to teach in college or still in college to engage in theoretical research, either before the old college graduates, other include the Central Academy of Fine Arts, Shanghai Academy of Fine Arts teachers and graduates, only a minority of a few is a master of folk art, that is, the past masters of ceramics and human children.

Closing the case of natural as well as academic background works come out on top: The Guardian autumn turnover shoot three LI Jusheng, Zhu Geng Le, Nanjing Steel is Jingdezhen Ceramic Institute professor serving.

Among them, the LI Jusheng's "concept of chess is not the phrase" insert devices make the 1,900,000 current contemporary ceramic works of the highest price, Zhu Le Ligeng the "China's cattle," also make the high price of 1,680,000.

For example, other -sheng, Li Lin Hong, land such as also made a higher price.

This also reflects the market expectations of ceramics from craft a way out, into the pure sense of the good wishes of art.

The expectations in the current Jingdezhen also able to find evidence that many children of ceramic-to-human transmission family also started to enter the institutions to conduct systematic theoretical study, and the guidance of art teachers in remedial courses sketch.

After all, his father the previous sub-contractors, fully accountable to the elders of the artisan system of learning too many defects, the elders can not be completely to keep up with the current social development.

Therefore, in the near future, ceramic artistic creation should be complete coverage of the academic colleges.

Collectors matures

The high rate of turnover of work, have reached more than 75%, some of which is far higher than the valuation price, for example, the fall of shot翰海auction No. 0823 is ancient戴玉梅dual-color Shouson Figure bottles, as opposed to pastels in terms of ancient color of the material more difficult to grasp, and its color is not excessive, the need to carefully arrange the painter paints, fine hook line fill color, this flower whole works full screen, color错落有致, the casualty list to fill the right color, there is no trace of spillover flaws, Yamadori gesture or whether it is very expressive eyebrow, is a good quality ceramic.

Valuation is 12-15 million, and ultimately was found at home with 19 million won the bid prices on home for possession of a profound understanding of good works, as well as the collection of vision and judgment.

Let us look at the pieces of流拍auction, first of all look at the fall of 2008 shot four 0824,0825,0826,0827 auction are paintings with a college background in ceramics attempt, of which three流拍, turnover of a reserve price indicating possession of the family collection is a single-minded direction, that is directed at the field of ceramic masters and outstanding works go.

In addition, it is difficult to back their bid for the impulse, it can be said collectors who are prepared is done homework.



(LIU Yuan-long system

Well, not necessarily the master's works will be bid down? Not necessarily, the master's works also , for example, Guardian 2008 Autumn 1636 auction beat Liu Chang-Master's "ha ha Arhats" 5-8 million valuation to LIU Yuan-long master's influence, as well as their representative works, Furthermore, the very suitable price, the auction should not be

That within reason, then what is it?

Master Liu was the subject of works available in the market is already flooded with forgery, a lot of people in the imitation, and some work is still about, and the price is the price of a few hundred thousands.

At the same time, LIU Yuan-long master has created his own company, in order to meet market demand at all levels of a considerable number of over-form listing of works, of which there are Rohan theme.

Therefore, this ha ha Rohan has the true colors are not very clear, and keep the number of the city of a few, collectors have a certain degree of risk, the details of the collectors who had been captured beforehand, resulting in the possession of these smart home would not easily hand the works of such subject matter.

There is also a流拍auction is also worth to talk about is the fall of 2008 shooting Jiade No. 1637 of王锡良auction粉彩瓷board "tea sage Lu Yu Tea Figure" 70-90 million valuation.

Zhushan王锡良is eight generations of Friends, 12-year-old began where he studied Dafan Wang, Qi two master从艺nearly 70 years, is currently the Jingdezhen Ceramic Art is the total session class characters, he really is a德艺双馨old artists.

Jingdezhen casually walk in, you will find many of the younger generation, he later wrote the name of the elderly for the number and studio name, the younger generation of young Goodwill kindly helped with the style can be seen. But also the quality of the painting itself is also very high, but the painting or the流拍.

In the Central Plains by the still relatively high price!

Collectors know the artist's heart condition, character art, paintings are well aware of standards of workmanship, but he has his own on the market to determine, after thinking collectors compared to judge, his mind on the auction have a he thinks it is reasonable The acceptable price, if the auction price with their own psychological gap is also too large will not accept this.

Possession of reason has not lost at home to blindly follow the trend, superstition master.

From the above aspects are fully proved the maturity of Ceramic Art collectors, although the experience is not a very long time, but the possession of home or through their own active learning, serious exploration of a wide range of exchanges, and has initially formed its own collection of guidance thinking, to determine the direction of the collection, and improve the framework for the construction of collection system.

Collectors maturity also means that the ceramic art market maturity, which is still in its infancy in terms of ceramic art market is definitely good news.

Emergence of the two sides of the artist painting ceramics

Some artists try to make use of calligraphy and painting ceramics to reflect the new carrier's own calligraphy and painting art, very much in recent years this has become even in Jingdezhen, specializing in painting and calligraphy artists reception, creation, sales through-train services.

For the purposes of the Ceramic Art is a good thing, on the one hand, this ceramic material are used to innovation at the same time, ceramic art has also been innovative in itself, at least in the subject matter that is the case, for example, Bao-rong No. 0298 Autumn Auction No. auction, Zhu New Admiralty of the multicolored bottle "karaoke OK map", the Valuation 3-5 million on turnover of 39,200 yuan, painting is a "Michael tyrants," a woman, fat circle, catch a microphone, large mouth放歌scene, which is the traditional of Ceramic Art is not a source of inspiration, and hinted that it?

Why can not more of the above ceramic closer to society, then the subject matter? For example, cartoons, animation, games, and even surreal and so on?

For instance, 08 Po-wing and then the autumn auction auction No. 0303, Zhu Daoping Tianqiu pastel bottle "Hushan," he will be inscribed inscription and are carefully placed in that short period of bottlenecks on the celestial sphere, is very lively and mischievous, which is traditional in Jingdezhen ceramic painting in the way rare.

Ceramic Art, on the other hand also need to use the visibility of these artists to expand their influence, after all, ceramic art in the whole art market is a very small branch, in fact, the number of people who do not know, these famous paintings in ceramic attempt is to produce good advertising effect, will be introduced to promote out of ceramic.

In foreign countries, also with ceramics Picasso, Chagall and other masters such can be taken seriously and that the.

But things always have two sides, such an approach really behind a lot of problems, first of all, if the master is a fresh bubble mentality, then things will be done to mislead the people of ceramics, and even hurt their own masters, because they so do not go in depth on the material and production process does not grasp the good, there is little high-quality work.

For example, Bao-rong No. 08 Autumn 0294 film auction Centennial underglaze red flower bottle "Flowers", the Valuation 8-10 million, the final

Painter wanted to reflect the level of flowers, but the blue color processing is a specialized technique called "water", is divided into the first concentration, second concentration, concentration of water, fresh water, pale shadow of five, with five bowl by expected, with blue-and-white material thickness and strength to reflect the level of, if not specifically have to understand or master paintings of the master glaze understand guide is very difficult to grasp, but this works only with blue-and-white material with little to embodied through with a pen and is expected to repeat the number of graffiti to be embodied, not only do not see the level, but also in the expected accumulation of blue-and-white place where even a pimple pimple material stabbed and seriously undermining the intention of the creative artist.

Therefore, the famous porcelain painting depth which must be seriously and understand the mystery and fun, in fact, the production of ceramics and related materials are not too complicated to master, as long as an input, the effect will be on.

For example, Bao-rong autumn auction auction No. 0288, Mr. Fan Zeng hold on the blue bottle "ape of God", its neat shape, with soil quality, elegance clean background glaze jacket, white  green, blue and white material issued Color is quite good, the color green Orchids completely to the old Van lines is manifested strokes, creating a beautiful ceramic works of art, eventually to 336,000 transactions.

There are  autumn 2008 auction 0828 auction No. 100 weight Zheng Pastel Landscape Photo bottles, the pastel colors of his application almost the effect of painting on paper, that is, artists have always used an emerald green, so that a look at the bottle of color can guess is the 100 weight Zheng works.

All in all this thinking should be encouraged, after all, are Chinese ceramics the unique elements, like calligraphy and painting it and can best embody the Chinese people's thinking and feelings, while the painting calls for innovation is also the market for a long time, as long as we pay attention to them some of the issues and details of a combination of both will have a very positive impact, collectors and the market is also extremely welcome.

Reveal the local advantages

Objectively speaking, modern and contemporary ceramic art auction is a new thing, Jiade auction companies to acutely that this virgin market, and operate the first attempt, is a very forward-looking, this is the auction of contemporary art in the current lower consolidation , antique treasures increased fatigue, only by painting one-armed Chingtien situation, the development of new types of film, resolve the risk, increase revenue to deal with a marketing strategy.

Compared with disabilities get better, Sotheby's, the domestic auction company in the Chinese market familiarity with the local community caused by the apparent advantages.

Although these two auctions in the auction there are certain limitations of choice, in the possession of the home extension services is not yet in place, the value of auction price is not high, but it has taken a valuable first step in coming, with the passage of time Who can say that this is not a bright future of space?

Other domestic auction company faces the problem of shrinking markets, but also would like to in this emerging market share of a share and can not be completely copied according to sets of high-profile, so you must try to be different, their brains engage in innovation, there is a Po-wing autumn auction celebrity special porcelain painting.

In fact, focusing on Modern and Contemporary Ceramic Art auction for further excavation of innovation, which each auction company is an urgent need for the problems faced, and this will depend on the auction company's Modern and Contemporary Ceramic Art Research and depth, but also depends on the Modern and Contemporary Ceramic Art market primary market - Ceramic Gallery brokers and growth occur.

In short, the emerging markets are still in their infancy, and also need to make every effort to all aspects of the input and training, I believe this market will be very bright future!

Ceramic Art of the way out

Throughout Jiade  hanhai and Rong Bao Ceramic Art auction, we can easily find creative ceramic art there are certain problems in traditional painting and calligraphy by the impact of too much influence by the traditional porcelain craft too.

Most of the work or remain in the Heavy Industry of the level, are very particular about artists on the skills, making arts crafts ceramic current traces of heavy, there are some breakthrough artists also rely on the glaze institutions such as basic materials to reflect changes in certain effects , or the creation of a bit of their own language only decoration.

Few artists on society and the arts, for history, the depth of human thinking and creativity out to reflect the thinking of artists of humanistic concern contemporary ceramic works of art, if things continue this way indefinitely, Modern and Contemporary Ceramic Art will be the creative imprisonment in a limited scope, the more high-end market demand is also very difficult to meet, and its value is also very difficult to have a great beyond.
