2013 art market will improve

A few days ago, the “TEFAF Global Art Market Report 2013” ​​was released. The report shows that in 2012, the expenditure on Chinese art and antiques was reduced by 24% to 10.6 billion euros, and it was back in second place in the global art market. This year's art spring shoots will be opened one after another. Will market conditions change? How to invest in the auction market chaos? These issues became the focus of the current auction.

Some people say that the cold autumn of the art market last year has continued to the present, and the lack of auction items in spring has become the biggest problem currently faced. However, some experts have warned that this is a good time for acquiring relatively low-priced items.

In 2013, the art market will be better still facing the challenge of collecting lots. “The autumn auction last year was better than the market expectation. Before the auction, the market was generally pessimistic, so when the lot was auctioned, many auction houses finally gave up the high price items. Recruitment, worries about trying to win after the shoot, or failed to produce good results, unable to explain to the seller, but also affected the confidence of the market.” Beijing Wei Shi [microblogging] general manager Dong Guoqiang [microblogging] said after the auction, What everyone regrets is that it has indeed underestimated the situation. Now, quite a few people think that the market will recover and pick up in 2013. It is foreseeable that this year's peers will be more aggressive in their efforts, and they will be even more bold in collecting high-priced items.

It is understood that in the past two years, the European and American art market, despite facing the financial crisis, has continuously broken the world record. For example, in the first half of 2010, Jacmelti’s bronze sculpture “Walking Man” shot $104.3 million. In the second half of the year, Picasso’s “Naked, Green Leaves and Busts” made $106.4 million. In 2012, Edward Munch’s “Scream” A $119 million sale was made. On the other hand, Christie's recently announced its performance report. In 2012, its global turnover increased compared to 2011. This shows that in fact, many rich people still use art investment as an effective means to avoid the risk of financial crisis.

Some experts said that the 2013 art market will change at least in comparison with 2012. Of course, the difficulties of collecting still exist. From the current point of view, the major companies may be more difficult to recruit than last year, the key is out of stock. "The cleverest woman is hardly worthless." This is the biggest problem facing auction companies. Today, the initiative of the art market is no longer in our hands. Now it is not the time when the auction company is alone. The competition in the market is becoming more and more fierce. The sellers also have to “shop around”, and it is expected that the future solicitation will come more and more. The harder it is.

The market activity in Guangdong is not strong. The Guangdong art market in North China has started to start in the early 1990s and has been at the forefront of the national art market. However, with the rise of the northern art market, it has gradually become “non-mainstream”. The local art operations agencies have always been tepid and the annual auction turnover is less than 5% of the national market. According to industry sources, most of the foreign funds are targeted at the Beijing and Shanghai markets, but the market alone ignores the Guangdong market. Although, to a certain extent, this makes the Guangdong art market relatively rational, there is no bubble, but on the other hand, it also makes the Guangdong market active. Not strong.

Peng Guojie, managing director of Realmark Auctions, believes that there are still sufficient funds in the Guangdong market, mainly from entrepreneurs in the Pearl River Delta region. It can be seen from the Guangdong buyer's delegation in the last year or two that the “buy goods” to the north: “The two are almost the same. The author's work, which sells 500,000 yuan in Guangdong and 'goes north', may cost nearly a million yuan. Buyers can completely consider buying local products at local auction houses. He emphasized the local auction house this year. In addition to the spring auctions, it is necessary to spend a lot of time on collectible auction items, and also to make “universal education” for junior collectors who have just started entry, so that they pay more attention to Lingnan painting: “Mutual competition is the driving force, and local auction houses can also completely The northern market 'dig buyers' and attracted them to organize delegations to Guangdong to 'Taobao'."

According to the Statistical Bulletin of the 2010 China Cultural Art Auction Market published by China Film Association, the on-time settlement rate of domestic works of art is very low. In the auction of national art and cultural works in 2010, the outstanding rates of Chinese painting and calligraphy, contemporary painting, and porcelain jade miscellaneous items It reached 50.6%, 43.3% and 43.5% respectively. In this regard, people in the auction community have called for the creation of a "blacklist" in the industry, or have proposed several major auction houses inside and outside the United Nations to increase the entry threshold for bidders. Now, the special art auction auction has reached more than one million yuan.
