Artistic value: it mainly refers to the artistic personality and style of the author represented by a work of art. The more typical the nationality, regionality and personality, the higher the artistic value.
Historical value (cultural relic value): refers to the position of a work of art in history and its role today, which is often determined by the characteristics of the times and the number preserved to the present. For example, bronzes reflect the culture of China in Shang and Zhou Dynasties; Celadon embodies the art and craft of the Song Dynasty, and it is more expensive when it is destroyed.
Economic value: refers to the market value, expressed by price, which is determined by the supply and demand relationship in the art market.
Artistic connotation: Art and cultural relics are cross-related.
Art refers to the valuable artistic carrier created by artists, including modern art (this part is not a realistic cultural relic, but it may be a cultural relic in a few decades). Therefore, art is not equal to cultural relics, and some works of art, that is, works of ancient or deceased artists, can be called cultural relics: cultural relics are not equal to works of art, because the scope of cultural relics is wider, belonging to artistic works, historical sites and relics of a certain era, a certain nation and a certain cultural region in human history. The main scope of works of art is defined from the ordinary items in the narrow sense of art auction.
China's artworks mainly include: ceramics, calligraphy, paintings, rubbings, Four Treasures of the Study, Yin Shi, seal cutting, wood carving, horns, furniture, gold and silver wares, painted pottery, books, stamps, coins, jade articles, musical instruments, jewels, bronzes, snuff bottles and miscellaneous items.
Art evaluation: In Chinese mainland, many painters often think that their works can also be photographed, and many slightly old-fashioned people are also planning how to auction their own things at a high price according to the auction records. In fact, in addition to the self-esteem mentality, there are many misunderstandings caused by the auction. Art auction is a high-level, competitive and top-level art sales method in the world today, which is different from ordinary art exhibitions, galleries and personal transactions. If the auctioned works of art do not meet some basic conditions, it will often lead to the failure of sellers (collectors and artists) and auction houses. If the proportion of works of art that are not photographed every time is high, the reputation of the auction house will decline, the confidence of the owners who have not been photographed will also be hit, and economic losses will also be caused. The idea that auction houses can make money is actually ignorance.
Generally speaking, works of art with the following conditions are more suitable to enter the auction house, or the works of art can be evaluated more comprehensively from the following aspects:
One is true. The authenticity of works of art is the main premise of sales. Everyone knows that ghostwriting, copying, imitation and forgery make works of art as pure as fish, which makes people speechless: so buyers attach great importance to the distinction between true and false. The average gallery has some genuine products and sells them as genuine products, while the auction house has much higher requirements.
The second is the name. There is a big gap between famous and non-famous people. Throughout the ages, there are countless artists and craftsmen in China, but few are truly famous. Therefore, the difference between famous artists and non-famous artists is an important difference, which determines the level and value of works of art. ..
The third is the essence. Porcelain, calligraphy and painting are two world-wide categories of China's artworks, which are vast. Porcelain is often produced in batches, and it was mainly circulated as physical objects at that time. It's very historical and artistic, and it's hard to find. Although painting and calligraphy are different because of each painter's personality and style, there are many works of a painter in his life, most of which are general paintings or entertainment works, and there are not many representative works.
The fourth is all or new. Porcelain and other works of art were originally a set, but now a few pieces are missing or damaged; Dirty or moth-eaten calligraphy and painting will greatly reduce the price, and even no one cares.
Fifth, it is rare. As the saying goes, things are rare, especially art auctions. Rarity and exquisiteness also have a cross relationship, but rarity emphasizes the scarcity and uniqueness of items. There were not many things at that time, but they have been passed down for many years, and most of them have been forgotten, leaving only one or a few pieces, so they are precious. From the above, it can be seen that the truth, fame, refinement, novelty (completeness) and rarity of works of art are the highest requirements of auction, but in fact, such all-encompassing works of art are difficult to appear, and people are only making efforts in this respect.
Actually, it's just a precious and delicate thing.
