Calligraphers appeared at the auction preview site and pointed out that the works at the auction were "wrong". Emotionally speaking, it is the artist's conscience; There is nothing wrong in principle; However, the reporter's investigation found that this seemingly reasonable behavior has not been recognized by law. The contradiction in the painting and calligraphy market has not been well solved.
On July 20th, in the East Exhibition Hall of Shanxi Library, the auction items of an auction company in Shaanxi were previewed here.
In the morning 10, the reporter came to the exhibition hall to see that although it was the weekend, many viewers had come to watch the exhibition. Some collectors come to "see" the works in advance (jargon: originals or fakes), while some art lovers keep taking pictures with their cameras. After all, there are still some titles in the works that can be filmed, which is a good opportunity to learn. Professor Xue Yangxian, executive vice chairman of Shaanxi Book Association and doctoral supervisor of xi Jiao Tong University, walked around the preview hall twice, but failed to find his own works. As his friend told him two days ago that his work was "wrong" at the auction, he decided to come and have a look. "If it is really' wrong', then we must resolutely' fake'." He told reporters.
Without finding any works, Xue Yang first came to the front desk to register and received the photo album of the entries. The two works of "self" in the photo album don't look quite right. Xue Yang first went to the organizer and learned that due to the limited space in the exhibition hall, some works were not exhibited. After the two works were transferred, Xue Yang looked at them carefully first and knew what they were.
"it's' pro', and the level is not bad." Xue Yangxian told reporters that imitators mainly learn from works that have been sold online or his published works. "They are' pro' according to the published size, and the possibility of' plagiarism' is generally small." He explained, "Because imitators only know one thing and don't know another. When I write, I use a brush. The big characters are written with bristles, and the small characters are written with soft hairs. In the case of write slowly, the change of the pen tip on the paper is rich, and the edge is constantly changing, making it more difficult to' copy'. "
"Look at the seal used again, which is made by laser." Xue Yangxian said, "One of them is an imitation of the name stamp engraved by Professor Yang Mei and Chen Dazhong. The difference between distinctive hand-carved stamps and mechanism stamps is quite large, which can be said to be very obvious. "
Xue Yang first identified himself to the organizer and told her that the work was fake. The person in charge of the auction company immediately said that the two works would be "removed".
Is the unspoken rule of the industry really unbreakable?
Calligraphers personally faked at the auction preview site. Such a scene is rare and aroused the curiosity of the audience. Some people gathered around involuntarily, some asked calligraphers for business cards, some wanted to have a chance to see real works, and some also asked some questions.
Question 1: Why do painters and painters make so few fakes?
"First, I hope that people who like my calligraphy appreciate my original works, and second, I want to make collectors' money really valuable." Xue Yang first admitted that he personally came to the scene to "fake". "I think this is a responsible approach for collectors, calligraphy lovers, auction houses and myself." "Why do some painters and painters know that the works circulating outside are fake and do not fake?" Mr. Wang at the scene proposed.
"I can't get through." Xue Yangxian said that at the gate of Xi 'an's academy, many people imitated his calligraphy. Another reason is that there are not many auctions of his works, and many people who want to collect them don't know the characteristics of the genuine products. Liu Junhai said with a smile: "I also hope that Teacher Xue will let everyone see what' true' is like!"
How do painters and painters generally deal with this situation? "I will issue a written statement to the auctioneer," said Han, a painter of Shaanxi Academy of Chinese Painting. The latter thing is beyond his control.
However, Bai, a painter of Shaanxi Traditional Chinese Painting Academy, believes that the common phenomenon is that "ordinary people don't take the initiative to crack down on fakes". He said that some people's mentality is, for example, going out for dinner, seeing their paintings hanging in the private room, and saying nothing when they see that they are fake. Anyway, hanging there is also a kind of publicity for yourself. "Besides, what they say doesn't count."
"To a certain extent, the number of fakes also reflects the popularity of a painter's work." An industry insider who did not want to be named told reporters that at a certain stage of the market, some painters and painters were happy to see such a situation.
"There are also some painters whose works are not circulated through normal market channels." Zhang Huaiqing, who has more than 30 years of collection experience, said that in this case, once a painter fakes, it is easy to smash his own market.
