Auction price was a windfall to do Board Game

Chinese contemporary art prices plummeted

What makes the Chinese contemporary art prices plummeted? To industry sources, in addition to the impact of financial crisis, the existence of the contemporary arts community "to do the Board," "false pictures" and other acts of this speculation can not shirk its responsibility.

"Board expensive to do" works of art prices

"So the Board" in the end is how a play? Well-known curator and art critic Mr. Zhu Qi recently been described in detail:

I assume that is a speculation or speculation Art Group, first of all to find a circle in the arts have a certain reputation, and market prices of around 100,000 in the painter, with a three-year agreement he signed. Every year he gave me 40 paintings, three years is 120, each with 3-500000 about the acquisition. One year after the hype at the beginning of the auction, each acquired 300,000 paintings, the auction price to more than one million superscript, subscript two years after the five million or even 10 million. The price of standard so high no one to buy how to do? I have organized as "friends" and a group of real buyers to sit together and pretend to cry to create a high-priced auction "A lot of people rushing to buy" the atmosphere of the scene.

This is called art auction of the "high price to do the Board." The first year, I sold at high prices in auction one-tenth of the work, it will be full cost recovery. The remaining paintings in the auction price at the time with the game "fishing", is a windfall to sell. I will discuss with the auction company an agreement to send pictures of each of each have three, bought half a million to 10 million standard painting prices, in the absence of buyers to take over the auction by the mixed crowd shouted one of us expensive "fake pictures", pretending it was bought this painting. This "fake shot," it is impossible to pay in accordance with the 10% commission, as 10 million by a 5% commission to pay at least one operator,
I have a secret with the auction company prior to a fixed commission on the good, such as I "fake take" no matter how high the price, I only paid 200,000 commission.

"Oil prices" monopoly of two kinds of people

Two students painting was a classmate, now a painter down "A", and the other auction houses is a responsible person "B." A few days ago at a gathering of students, the two old school with the following dialogue.

A: Can I paint the pictures in the auction it? 100000 photographed on the trip, I find someone to buy it, I am a fee.

B: I If the company provides a 10% commission, you have to pay 10,000 yuan. You are now so difficult economy, can afford to pay it?

A: have to pay to borrow money, ah, how do we not dismiss this exercise Shidao ah.

B: In my opinion, in accordance with the present situation you find my help you make up fake money than you. For example, paint your own pieces of the disputed paintings, the exhibition looking for people to draw their own point of throwing feces, so that the author's hotline on the news reports about you.
Dialogue over the final did not become a reality, "B" later in private that the main reason for this is not different, only because the old school did not draw the line.

So, why does it have to sell the works to play this kind of "fake pictures" game?

Ms. Wen art dealers believe that the false advertising film has a strong effect. "China's media are generally not aware of the arts, but he likes to chase news. If you want the media in these advertisements, I am afraid we do not have enough millions. But as long as 1-1 auctions' price 'figures, the media reports will follow Almost all major national media believed it. do not exclude the possibility that some media, I get red speculation auction company, which is a real case. "

" 'Fake film' Another advantage is from time to time to 'fish'", an artistic company manager, told this reporter: speculation auction will work together to sell at high prices, in fact, is a "fishing" process, and sometimes not an auction will be able to "fishing" a success, often have to participate in several games in a year's auction, there will be a collector does not understand the new market, one exciting works they bought at high prices.

"Big fish" fought Admission

Known as the "big fish" who are? Zhu said that the one is just a new collector admission, the very rich do not understand art but the art-loving at the same time easy to impulsive Xingui class, in China the past two years many of the auction. These new collectors are mainly the rise of the decade of the new wealthy class, the background from all areas of the capital. Part of the wealthiest in Southeast Asia and overseas Chinese, and sometimes auction will also become the "big fish."

These new rich too much money too fast, just beginning to understand love of art and not art, but merely a strong personal sense of individual decisions, many of them have ever been to Europe and the United States, Europe and the United States to know more about modern art and auction prices. They feel that China's new art auction prices should fall in line with European and American standards, they are willing to spend money in the auction to promote the image of China's new culture and international standing. However, this is pure and also spending a huge sum at the nationalist sentiments speculation Art Group will be keen to find and use to reap huge profits.

Another "big fish" is just the art of admission speculators, most of them from the traditional Chinese painting, the stock market and the financial sector from moving. Auction in the field of traditional Chinese painting, Chinese painting, many buyers because of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Republic of China "false art" too, such as Qi, Chang Ta-chien in the auction, such as a large number of fake paintings, suffered a lot of buyers have been turned auction of contemporary oil paintings, as paintings of contemporary "art, at least not false." However, contemporary oil paintings do not "fake paint" certainly is a fact, but it is "bad painting" too expensive and the price was outrageous.

If the auction the last two years do not have a "big fish" hook, the game does not go on playing. But now not only have to play the game for several years, but also the more fun the more fire, This shows that the "big fish" in an endless stream of visitors.

Many collectors like the stock

On the surface, these two years the Chinese contemporary art and contemporary oil paintings buyers like clouds all over the world, whether it is major auction houses, Sotheby's in New York, Christie's Hong Kong, a busy. But the real buyers in Europe and America almost no Chinese people are basically running around in the world, New York Sotheby's auction site is a lot of sitting in Beijing, Shanghai of the Chinese past, and as such the Chinese contemporary art Sigg The main buyers have never come across "works price."

Over the years a number of artistic speculation the Group's strategy is to go to New York, Hong Kong's international well-known auction house to "sky-high price to do the Board", practices with the auction house in the Mainland, "so the Board" is exactly the same, but the more deceptive. Buyers may think that Sotheby's will auction a total fraud, in fact, wrong.

Chairman of the Chinese Artists Association, said of a work of art at reasonable prices should be stable in a long and historical process, and the prices of Chinese contemporary oil paintings are often formed in a short period of time soaring.

Enormous benefits in the drive, some art galleries, art dealers, artists and even foreign institutions and intermediary organizations, I often collaboration packaging painter, using a variety of ways for the artist, creating the momentum and eventually reach the price manipulation of the purpose of the artist works. Such a flood of speculation, the contemporary art market bubble could not? Art critics have argued that the current 80% of the contemporary works of art, with the passing of time will be eliminated development. Excessive speculation by a lot of price, but the beach is built buildings to collapse sooner or later.

A foreign investment company's financial director said: Contemporary Chinese Oil Paintings by artificially "manipulated." Many collectors just like in the stock of contemporary Chinese oil paintings and oil paintings of contemporary Europe and the United States price analogy in order to infer the prices of Chinese contemporary oil painting there is still much room for growth, this is not comparable with real .

High collector to avoid China's "oil prices"

Board re-do the level of high-priced high-Mongolian can not know the business sector veteran collectors.
Collection of a large number of devices have been works of art that the collector: the conduct of the auction a variety of false let "the market got sick." Before attending the auction is often the ultimate price.

However, from 2004, a large number of fraudulent auctions, Chinese contemporary art prices have started rising, and now to be a work may be several times higher than in the past to pay tens of times and even money. We buy some of the works, but genuine works of artistic value, the number of people who do not have to research and collection.

An artistic director, said: "Very few buyers know the business is purely a general collection, also known as' collectors', on China's contemporary art as well as a very profound understanding of the world trend and professional."

Switzerland has served as Ambassador to China, home of a collection of ten years, a collection of more than 180 contemporary artists in China for nearly 2000 works of art. There is a gallery in Hong Kong also buy a lot of Chinese contemporary artists. These collectors sell their little collection of works of art.

"Collection of the veteran community in general will not buy 'oil price'", the value of Chinese contemporary art has been seriously overestimated, especially in contemporary painting. "Oil price" is painted, no matter how, but also not enough to truly represent the image of China's new culture. Language itself from the canvas that the canvas is the Chinese people better trained in the West can only be second-rate painting. But contemporary art has spent less than three years, China's auction price will be ten years ahead of schedule to "price." In the West, this process will take ten years.
