500,000 is most suitable for interest collection.
At present, the art market in China is a bit like the capital market, moving from the collection trend to the investment trend, and the art price is rising. Nevertheless, there are many kinds of artworks that can be collected for 500,000 yuan, whether antique or contemporary art, which are rich in variety and can be dabbled in. This kind of collection is more suitable for opening according to your own interests.
Interest collection will not be affected by market fluctuations.
The skyrocketing art market in China is simply caused by the problem of supply and demand. There are many people who want to buy it, but there are not many China artworks circulating around the world, so the price naturally goes up. There are several reasons why artworks are attractive: First, many people think that buying artworks can make money and want to invest in artworks. Many of these people are people with a little spare money. When they think that real estate and stocks are bad, they will transfer their funds to the art market. In order to buy high-priced fine works of art, some people set up funds through private fundraising to enter the art market, or buy bank art funds, join the stock exchange to buy shares and property rights, and obtain investment income.
Some people really like art and collect it because they like it. The so-called Shi Sheng dialect collection, as it is now, China's economy has improved and everyone has money. At first, they invested in buying cars, stocks and houses, and later they bought works of art. This is actually a natural phenomenon, and the market is also a natural phenomenon. It is normal for good things to be expensive. After all, the price of art will always fluctuate with the trend of the market. When the market goes up, the price of art will of course go up, and vice versa. It's just that many people who enter the art market and start investing at present are actually inexperienced and don't have much information, which leads to the inflated prices of some common things. We all think this part is more problematic. Therefore, even if you are attracted to this market at first because of investment interests, you should slow down when you come in, learn more and cultivate more interests, and invest in collections for the sake of interest, so that you will not be influenced by market fluctuations and chase fashion, leading to buying the wrong things.
The art market in China has now become a bit like the capital market, and the capital market needs a lot of money to join the ranks. Why so many people invest in funds is also the reason, and most of them prefer the idea of collecting investment. Of course, the entry of such funds into the market has also raised the prices of many works of art, and also made them move from the collection trend to the investment trend. From a service industry, it is completely a fun thing and spiritual food, it has become a so-called investment tool, and it has become something for the rich to play with. This is even more worrying. In the early years, everyone had two or three million spare money to collect. Now if they want two or three million yuan, they have to use enterprise capital. Capital is about investment income. If the capital investment has no effect, it will be even more serious. So, it is good to find some new collection directions now, so "collection?" The auction suggested that 500,000 yuan can also be accepted, which is a good topic.
Mining categories that haven't been filmed yet
In fact, there are still many low-lying places in the art market, and the soaring art categories are all taken by auction houses. In other words, if a certain art can be auctioned, the price will be higher. The bronze mirror is the best example: in the past, it was not expensive, but since the bronze mirror was photographed on the auction line, it has been sold from 100 thousand to 1 million, and now there are even tens of millions of transactions. Similarly, there are teapots in Ming and Qing Dynasties and Shoushan Stone in Fujian. It used to be auctioned, but now it is auctioned and the price has been rising. In other words, from the investment point of view, it is necessary to explore the categories of works of art that will be shot in the future, but have not yet been shot. From the collection point of view, their current prices are reasonable.
As far as the current art market is concerned, there are still many things that have not entered the auction market, such as tourmaline, watches, amber and so on. There are also pens, ink, paper and inkstones that everyone likes. They are all very interesting collections, and the prices are not particularly high now. There are also some ancient ceramics and some folk furniture. In particular, you can buy back a lot of bronzes, stone carvings, gold wares and rhinoceros horns, ivory and porcelain that are popular now, and buy back overseas treasures for the country, because sometimes their prices are lower than those in China. If you keep your eyes open, some paintings in northern Shaanxi, or the costumes and silverware of ethnic minorities, are all works of art in China, and there is still considerable room for China works of art with a budget of 500,000 yuan. So, you can look for those good American handicrafts, or something from ancient China. As long as it's not filmed and you like it very much, you can look for it and collect it. You can even pay attention to works of art in Southeast Asia, Africa and South China. Their current price is acceptable to the ordinary middle class. Because art has no national boundaries, it is not even ancient or modern, so buy oil paintings, sculptures, ink paintings, installations and equipment of contemporary artists. These are very happy collections. You don't need a lot of money, but you can have fun here. One day it will be filmed on TV, and then you can still benefit from the fun of collecting. There is no guarantee that the auction company will shoot all the categories just mentioned, but 500,000 investors can see or understand from the auction and then find their own preferences for collection.
Found the next Xu Bing and Cai Guoqiang.
China's contemporary art can enter the international art market. At present, 70% or 80% of the things auctioned in China are returned to China, but China's contemporary art can go global. Our contemporary art, whether it is Ceng Fanzhi, Yue Minjun, Wang Huaiqing, Qiu Zhijie, Fang Lijun, Liu Xiaodong, Ye Yongqing, Zhou Chunya, Liu Ye, Luo Zhongli or those famous contemporary Chinese artists, has already occupied a place overseas, such as Xu Bing and Cai Guoqiang. Therefore, to collect China contemporary art, we must find people who can enter the international art market. With a budget of 500,000 yuan, you can only collect the works of some good artists who are working hard. This requires you to analyze artists, learn as much as possible about artists and the international market, and judge whether they can become the next Bing Xu or Cai Guoqiang. At present, some artists' works are not good, but the prices are very high; Some artists are very talented, but their works are not expensive. Faced with this situation, it is a test of how you choose. This type of selection is actually more difficult than picking antiques. Simply put, there are two ways to start this type of collection. One is to scrutinize and analyze the relevant materials and information obtained from the internet, art exhibitions and even auction houses, and then decide which artists' works to buy. The other is to start with artists or works of art that you like and can afford, and then collect them while learning. Only by understanding the artist's past and present can we see his future.
Ink-jet printing is not printing.
In addition, 500,000 yuan can also choose to collect prints and photographs. These collections are actually very common in foreign countries, and they are all auctioned at foreign auction houses. Abroad, a budget of 500,000 yuan can even buy paintings by Picasso or Zhao Wuji. The collection of prints can be divided into two types. One kind is the artist's original printed matter, which is made by the artist himself, so it is still the artist's work; The other is to copy the original printed matter. This genre is also divided into two parts: prints authorized by living artists to copy their works in limited quantities and prints authorized by museums or their families to copy the works of deceased artists in limited quantities. Prints authorized by living artists, such as works by Leng Jun, Wang Yidong and Zhou Chunya, are now selling well and many people buy them. Prints, such as Pan's works, which are authorized by the Anhui Provincial Museum to be reproduced in limited quantities, are now in the Anhui Provincial Museum. If you want to make prints of these works, you must get authorization from Anhui Provincial Museum. Speaking of printmaking, many people now mistakenly think that as long as the works are photographed in exhibitions or auction houses and then printed, they are considered printmaking. This is not the same thing. There are many kinds of prints, including copperplate, lithograph, woodcut, screen printing and now inkjet printing, that is, inkjet printing made by Epson. At present, people think that jet printing is printed matter, which is actually a wrong view. There are many dots in printed matter, and the quality is not as good as that of jet printed matter, let alone the original. Printed matter is a poster made by a general museum or a gift of reduced size, most of which are unlimited and belong to the category of cultural and creative goods. Ink jet printmaking has gradually become a new trend accepted and produced by European and American artists. Because inkjet printing can show various colors layer by layer than previous printing, it can only show more lines and color blocks than previous printing, and it will become the mainstream of printing in the future.
Real inkjet works should be made by artists, museums and companies authorized by family members. In addition to the same size as the original, they also need to be most similar to the original in color and decorative texture. These works ultimately need the supervision of artists, museums or family members. Qualified works will be signed by artists or stamped and signed by museums. This kind of prints are works of art that strive for perfection and perfection. Their production process needs to go through many processes, from lighting and taking photos, scanning to computer color matching and trimming. Moreover, it is necessary to constantly compare the original works, so as to try our best to ensure that the works printed from the first to the last can be similar to the original works 100%. This requires not only that artists and museums are willing to provide you with the original works for comparison, but also that the senior engineers involved in the production are very familiar with computers and chromatics and know how to correct the works through computers. Because even a little deviation, the work will be far from the original, and sometimes a work even needs to be revised 20 to 30 times to print a similar effect to the original. Therefore, inkjet prints are not printed matter, but prints and artworks. This type of prints is limited, ranging from 100 to 500. Usually, important artists like to collect more people, so museums generally allow 300 or 500 printed materials, which cannot be printed after printing, so as to ensure the price and value of these printed materials. If authorized, the artist can decide how many copies to print, but there are also restrictions.
The price of these printed materials is relatively low. There is usually an unwritten rule abroad, but it is not absolute. For example, the original can be sold for 1 million RMB, and 100 copies will be printed, each of which will cost 10 thousand RMB. Therefore, the quantity of 100 is your original price. Of course, this is not a hard and fast rule. Some people set it at 20,000, while others set it at 1.5 million. But most people in the industry are used to pricing like this. For example, the prints printed by the four great kings of contemporary art in China are probably priced in this way. Of course, there are also low-priced prints. For example, cold paintings are difficult to draw and few in number. Originally, his printing was also ordered at a low price, but later it was very popular. Now the price of his printed matter has surpassed that of the original. Recently, he has printed more than ten thousand copies of 10. If one hundred copies are printed, there will be more than ten million original works, which has exceeded the current painting price of his original works. This also gives buyers the will and space. Cold printmaking is such a development process. It used to be cheaper when it was sold. After about half a year, its prints exceeded this standard. The price of prints by living artists is usually determined by the painter together with the agencies that issue prints, and there is no absolute standard. If it is printed by a deceased artist, it will be relatively cheaper, because it is not signed by the artist himself, but audited and supervised by the museum or his family. For example, Picasso has many similar works, but it does not affect its value and collection.
