1. In the field of identification, the authenticity of calligraphy and painting basically depends on description, inscription, seal, etc. As a condition to ensure the authenticity of calligraphy and painting itself.
Among these conditions, sealing is considered to be the most important. Regardless of any era and any form of calligraphy and painting, its authenticity can be confirmed by several seals, which is a shortcut to identification. It can be simple and complicated, but it can be small and big.
The way to identify seals is to check. First of all, take the seal that has been confirmed as true as a model, and check it with the seal that will be identified from its size, seal cutting method, twists and turns of strokes, fat, white or Zhu Wen. It's true that you are unhappy with the model's client, but it's false that there is a discrepancy.
2. Although the inscription is also one of the original copies, it is not available in all paintings and calligraphy, nor can it be used at any time like a seal. The inscription itself is a book, and what serves as evidence lies in its text content.
3. Miscellaneous words: The writing of other words has always been taken seriously, and the author of calligraphy and painting is unlikely to make such mistakes. For example, the inscriptions on calligraphy and painting, especially those on calligraphy and painting, are considered as clues of forgers.
4. Year and month: The year and month mentioned in calligraphy and painting or inscription are inconsistent with the author's age, year of birth and death, or with the facts, and will also be considered as forged evidence.
5. Taboo: In the feudal emperor era, temporary articles should be taboo, that is, when writing the same words as the emperor's name, you should write less. In painting and calligraphy, we can see which generation of emperors avoided the word without pen, and we can draw the conclusion that the period of painting and calligraphy creation can not be earlier than that of the avoided generation of emperors, otherwise it is a forged loophole. This problem has always been regarded as irrefutable evidence.
6. Inscription: Taking the inscription of calligraphy and painting as the main identification basis, as long as the inscription is considered to be true, other evidence can be overturned to determine the authenticity. This method is mostly used in painting.
Second, the starting point collection point
Hong Kong and Macao's deep collection of paintings and calligraphy started differently, and the collection status is obviously different.
However, due to the similarity of economic development, regional unity, market integration and the convergence of investment ideas and aesthetic views, the investment in calligraphy and painting collections in Hong Kong, Macao and Shenzhen shows a unified sign of "long-term integration".
Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan and Shenzhen have the earliest investment in painting and calligraphy collections and the richest collections.
Macao is the most backward city, and Shenzhen is the latest but fastest growing city.
Four taboos of collection:
Avoid "looting".
Second, avoid "following the trend".
Three bogeys are "shallow-eyed".
Four bogey "curiosity".
Five investment strategies:
First, we should attach importance to strength and despise "name". Remember: "a false name does not add value."
Second, we should attach importance to individuals and despise groups. Remember: "One fish needs three meals".
Third, we should pay more attention to quality than quantity. Remember: "Don't pick up art rubbish".
Fourth, we should pay attention to the long-term and ignore the short-term. Remember: "Catch a big fish with a long line".
Fifth, pay more attention to skills than regions. Remember: "enter the big market".
At present, there are four main sources of investment in calligraphy and painting collection:
One is to buy directly from the painter (including gifts).
Second, through galleries or agents,
Third, it was obtained in various painting and calligraphy activities such as painting and calligraphy exhibitions and pen meetings.
Fourth, it is obtained through the exchange and circulation of calligraphy and painting collection markets such as auctions.
Each of the four channels has its advantages and disadvantages. The first way is to find the most suitable price; The second way, you can get a certain degree of author popularity; The third way, you can get some media publicity returns while getting the works, but the disadvantages are large quantity and low quality; The fourth way is the most common way for investors to collect calligraphy and painting.
