HOW TO SELL YOUR CHINESE ART
Today, selling Chinese art can be a big problem. Almost everybody finds it difficult to initiate a sale, and if they need help, there is the added headache of finding the right agent to represent them in the Chinese art market. Many people begin by contacting the famous auction houses, but very few owners receive an insightful response—sometimes no word at all. Others spend hours on the internet without any concrete results. Many owners end the process of trying to sell their art with no knowledge about whether their object is worth anything or where to place it for sale. Do these frustrations sound familiar?
The most important thing to remember is that in order to sell any fine object of art, you need to posses solid information and formulate an educated strategy for sales. These are the two goals of a professional art appraisal: to provide the owner with the information needed to understand and appreciate the art object, and to suggest a clear strategy for sale based on analysis of the current Chinese art market. This is why you should commission an art appraisal from a qualified professional.
