German Capital Ye Jinbiao: The Node of Chinese Traditional Painting and Calligraphy Collection

"The intention is to use the pen first, the pen is the artistic conception, the painter first paints the bone, and the painting is hidden in the mountain fog." The Chinese traditional painting and calligraphy art is becoming one of the glorious models of oriental civilization with its unique artistic charm that has been preserved for thousands of years. Chinese traditional ink and wash paintings began in Shang and Zhou dynasty, flourished in the Tang and Song dynasties, and spread to the early Qing and early Republic of China. Affected by the realistic style of Western oil painting, they gradually ebbed. Although there were occasional people, the value of traditional ink paintings in the market was not as good as before. In the past ten years, with the rapid development of China's economy, traditional Chinese culture has once again shown a resurgence, and it has received a lot of attention worldwide. In the field of cultural collection, it has also formed a wave of “Oriental boom”.

On April 8, Sotheby's in Hong Kong fell out of fashion in the Chinese painting and calligraphy auction in spring 2011. Zhang Daqian’s “Lushan Chunxiao” was sold for HK$64.5 million, which was three times higher than the valuation and became the most expensive lot in the audience. Prior to this, the Beijing Autumn Auction of Autumn Auctions for the Autumn of Ming Dynasty in Ming Dynasty was sold for RMB 61,912 million, which broke the world record of auction sales of Chinese paintings and became the highest single-art work in China. Qi Baishi's works, “Unfortunately, silent? The Birds and Flowers & Insects Book "has broken the record of the world's Chinese modern paintings and calligraphy auctions with 95.2 million yuan. One of the "eight people in the Tang and Song Dynasties," Zeng Gong's only handed down calligraphic works, "The Bureau of Posts", broke the records of Chinese domestic calligraphy auctions for RMB 108.64 million.

Why does Chinese painting and calligraphy boutique win more and more collectors? After careful study, Ye Jinbiao, president of De Capital Asia Pacific Co., Ltd., found that in the autumn of 2009 and the spring auction of 2010, the highest transaction record in the two consecutive seasons of art auctions came from the field of traditional calligraphy and painting. "Sui Zhuming" has triggered an upsurge in the collection of traditional Chinese calligraphy and painting collections.

How can we collect high quality Chinese painting and calligraphy products with potential for appreciation? "The secret of successful paint collectors is that they only purchase works of great artists who are in the position of 'nodes' in the development of art history." Ye Jinbiao, president of German Capital Asia Pacific Ltd., said with emotion that the contemporary ink and wash collection has reached the “node” zone. Whoever has his unique vision will take the initiative to reach the top.

After several years of research on the painting and calligraphy collection market, Ye Jinbiao stated at the 2010 China Calligraphy and Painting Collection Seminar that the Ukrainian Swiss artist Uli has been on the forefront of the Chinese art market in recent years. Sigg, completely disappeared. In addition, although contemporary art in China today is in full swing, New York Sotheby’s and Hong Kong’s Christie’s successively auctioned off contemporary Chinese sections, and they’ve made great achievements. In the top 200 list, none of the top Western collectors is dominated by Chinese contemporary art. For systematic collections, it is clear that the Chinese contemporary art section is a "combination of stocks" as a private collection, while the high-end "customer group" is also considering the recognition of Chinese contemporary art.
