Art Value, Market & Appraisal

The most important thing to remember is that no matter what your plan is, understanding what you have for the market or what you need to know before you approach the market is a top priority. Educating yourself about the current Chinese art market, possessing solid information are fundamental. Seeking professional advice or commissioning an independent art appraisal from a qualified art expert is practical.

Today, either selling an art work or buying a fine Chinese painting and calligraphy is more difficult than ever. For sale, almost everybody finds it difficult to initiate a sale in the current art market. A lot of art owners have no clue what they have and where to start. Many people begin by contacting the famous auction houses, but very few receive a helpful response—sometimes no word at all. Others spend hours and hours on the internet without any concrete results. For purchase, if your budget does not allow you to engage Christie's and Sotheby's services, you need to deal with the uncertain authenticity of art works offered at 2nd or 3rd tier markets. You are left alone with all purchaser's responsibilities, ranging from identification, authenticity and value estimate. You may wonder, does the art work I like really worth that much? Do I get a bargin price for what I buy from a regional agent or dealer?

Many Chinese art seller and buyers end the process of searching for solution or certainty, since it costs them too much time, energy and emotion. Is it too hard to find a new home for my art work? Where can I find somebody who can guide me through the process? Is my art work worth the time and money I spend on an appraisal? Nobody wants to spend hard-earned money on an art object that is of very limited value or no value. Do these frustrations sound familiar to you?
