An oil painting, Yu Tang Chun Nuan (Spring Comes to the Hall) drawn by
late artist Chen Yifei, was sold at 11 million yuan at an auction fair
held in Shanghai last month, breaking his previous personal selling
record set on December 16, last year.
Chinanews, July 18 �C An oil painting, Yu Tang Chun Nuan (Spring Comes to
the Hall) drawn by late artist Chen Yifei, was sold at 11 million yuan at
an auction fair held in Shanghai last month, breaking his previous
personal selling record set on December 16, last year. The soaring price
of this painting boosted the sales of the Chinese oil paintings overall,
which had for a long time been not considered as anything but the
mainstream art type in the auction market.
The painting Yu Tang Chun Nuan was sold at the Shanghai Hongsheng Auction
Company. It is one of the artist��s best products in his early collection
that depicts the life of debauchery in Old Shanghai. The painting,
measuring 169.5 centimeters long and 242.5 centimeters wide, is also the
biggest one in the entire array of the artist��s works. The painting
vividly depicts the luxury life in the Old Shanghai entertainment circle.
Set with an orange color background, the painting reflects the different
expressions of eleven people sitting around a red sandal wood round
table. The people in the painting are sitting, standing, putting a hand
under the chin, gazing, or meditating. On the left corner, an actor
dressed in the female of the demure type covers her face with a long
sleeve, imitating the typical image at the Peking opera Magnolia
Fistulosa.
Insiders say that Chinese oil painting market has begun to enter into a
booming business and investment of these paintings will be profitable.
Since the 1990s, Chinese oil painting market has remained active. One
reason is that traditional Chinese paintings, long regarded as the
mainstream for Chinese art collection, have been sold at lower prices
than oil paintings since many problems have emerged in this market.
Secondly, over hundreds of years, Chinese oil painting has developed to
become a unique school of art. Many products, which reflect contemporary
spirit and are worth buying, have begun to emerge. Many auction companies
have held fairs to sell Chinese oil paintings.
However, an expert from the Guangzhou Arts and Crafts Shop says much
still needs to be done in the Chinese oil painting market, and measures
have to be taken to prevent fake products. He suggests that China should
learn from international practice to set up a registration system in the
oil painting market. In addition, relevant laws and regulations should be
made to standardize the selling activities of art galleries and auction
companies. In addition, the agent system in the art market has not been
set up in China yet and the dealership system is still immature in China.
This has constrained Chinese art market from developing further. In light
of this situation, Chinese should introduce some advanced managerial
experiences from abroad.
