A word of gold?
Mysterious buyers withdrew the inscriptions on pillars, and some collectors questioned the speculative nature of the frequent rise of ancient calligraphy and painting works.
Poly Spring Auction witnessed the historical moment of China's art auction. For the first time, China set a world record for the auction price of China's art. Huang Tingjian, one of the "Song Sijia" with the same reputation as Su Dongpo, dropped his gavel for 390 million yuan, and with the commission of/kloc-0.2%, the total transaction price reached 436.8 million yuan. This transaction price far exceeds the transaction record of about 230 million yuan of China artworks created by "Yuan Qinghua Ghost Valley Down the Mountain" at Christie's auction in London in 2005.
The legendary calligraphy has been handed down by several people for thousands of years.
It is understood that Huang Tingjian's Inscription is the most important work in the global China art auction market this spring. This volume is nearly 600 words, 8.24 meters long, and the total length is nearly 15 meters. This is the longest running script of Huang Tingjian in existence. The content of his works comes from Wei Zhi in the Tang Dynasty, which is intended to encourage future generations. It is the product of the perfect combination of his moral spirit and calligraphy art, and it has an extraordinary position and significance in the history of calligraphy, art and even culture in China. Regarding the value of this handwritten scroll, Shen Fu, president of the National Palace Museum in Taipei, commented: "In fact, as long as Huang Tingjian is a poet as famous as Dongpo and has the status of' Song Sijia' in the history of books, his words are precious. What's more, this volume is so long that there are more than 6 meters of inscriptions from the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty to the late Qing Dynasty, which is rare compared with the works of Cai, Su and Mi. " According to expert appraisal, the inscription of this stone pillar was written around 1095. It was collected by Wang, Jia Sidao, Xiang and others, and spread among the people for a long time. In the first half of the 20th century, it flowed from Guangdong to Japan and was collected by Japanese collectors. It was not until a few years ago that it was bought by collectors in Taiwan Province province, China. This is the first time it has appeared in the auction.
