The original masterpiece of Master Hongyi’s Zhubi Couplet was exposed and sold for more than 60 million yuan
2013
On August 24, a painting that had been scattered by a generation of grass saint Lin Master Hongyi’s ink-brush calligraphy couplets that have been treasured for many years will appear in Jiude 2013 Fine Art Auction. This authentic work of Master Hongyi’s couplets has attracted much attention from academics and collectors.
Among the cultural celebrities of the 20th century, the one with the widest range of interests and the most legendary life experiences was Master Hongyi Li Shutong. His calligraphy is "sincere and perfect, as if it were made by nature". Even cultural celebrities such as Lu Xun and Guo Moruo regard it as a supreme honor to have his hand. The authentic couplets of Master Hongyi that are up for auction this time are made of calligraphy on paper and written with high-quality cinnabar. The color of the couplets shows rich cinnabar levels depending on the weight of the pen. In 2012, the auction unit price of Hongyi's calligraphy set a record of more than 60 million yuan. This ink-brush work, with its well-ordered sources, high-quality materials, and very few handed down from generation to generation, is extremely rare among Master Hongyi's authentic couplets.
In addition, the contemporary ink painting section of this Jiude Auction also has a strong lineup, with fine works from famous artists such as Xue Liang, Xu Lele, Yu Hui, Jiang Hongwei, Fan Yang, Zhu Xinjian, Liu Ergang, etc. gathered together. In particular, Xue Liang's "Illustration of the West" is a highly imaginative reconstruction of the scenery and a tension-filled picture layout, interpreting the majesty of the western landscape. It is unbelievable that such a stirring and magnificent scenery, under the painter's brushwork, gives people a quiet and profound feeling. Fine works such as Song Yulin's "Autumn Clusters of Green Green", Jiang Hongwei's "Autumn Tongs and Doves", Fan Yang's "Green Lion and Arhat", Fu Xiaoshi's "Avalokitesvara" and other masterpieces are not to be missed by collectors.
It is reported that Jiangsu Jiude 2013 boutique auction will be held at Nanjing Metropark International Hotel on August 24, and the preview will be from August 22 to 23. ?
