When it comes to collecting and investing in calligraphy and painting, ancient calligraphy and painting has the highest threshold, so it has become the "hardest hit area" for the most rampant fraud. For the ancient paintings at domestic auctions, you can say without exaggeration that "it is not authentic and the tenth."
If the theory is the most fraudulent and the abuse of ancient calligraphy and painting, "Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou" is my first One of the reasons that should probably be considered for Zheng Banqiao's repeated fraud is not only because he is a representative figure of the "Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou", a household name, but the price of legendary paintings is not cheap, which is the fundamental reason to attract counterfeiters.
Zheng Banqiao's calligraphy is a combination of Huang Ting and Su Dongpo, mixed in seal, official and regular scripts to form books, and miscellaneous calligraphy books of different sizes, stone streets, unconventional, steep and masculine, but also unique and unique The beautiful rhyme is called "Six and a Half Minutes Book". Qing He Shaoji commented on the Banqiao book, "The character Banqiao imitates the meaning of the valley, and the work is not particularly interesting." The book you painted with your brush is also ancient, but also as exquisite as Banqiao. The highest achievement of his painting, he is especially good at painting bamboo, stones, branches, thick leaves, and the superman in Bo Wang's transcendent style. The hand-painted blue highlights and the wild mountain air are elegant and fragrant.
Zheng Banqiao's calligraphy and paintings are extremely popular and favored by literati and merchants, and many people are looking for them. In a letter to a friend, he wrote: "Cable drawing, paper product Ying's case, urging Xue to thank thousands of debt letters without knowing the repayment date?"
After
Banqiao, the counterfeiters are quite public, the famous Tan Ziyu and Liu Jingyin Xinghua of Weifang, Shandong; but the two popular formats are vulgar and cowardly, it is difficult to compare, with authentic ones, later Zheng Banqiao Drawing a small study is difficult to tell. In the mid-Qing Dynasty, Banqiao painted a flood, which was worse than what was mentioned in Qing Dynasty writings. Guifu's "New Embers Leave Records" records: "Mr. Dan's paintings are often fake."
Rhyme: "In the past few decades, Mr. Dan's paintings and calligraphy have not been less than 100 authentic, but in 23."
In the past few years, the market has been pretending to be filled with bamboo and stone pictures, mostly "orchid and bamboo pictures", and the flooded film market has a considerable proportion of calligraphy, especially "bamboo", which is almost overrun. , shoddy masterpieces, the price is quite impressive. The author has seen that Zheng Banqiao's "bamboo" and "orchid" rare works of art are often frightening.
In recent years, Zheng Banqiao's "bamboo" and "lan" appeared on the auction floor mainly have the following four fake practices: plagiarism and cloning, collection of copied publications, which is the most popular category, well-proportioned, and authentic reorganization of inscriptions. Exchange, I saw a few coins out of thin air with no parent, these also have a certain proportion; the famous "escort", in the past two years, you can often see a well-known connoisseur on the southern side of Zheng Banqiao's postscript in the capital auction Whether it is a scam or not should arouse the high vigilance of buyers.
As for fake calligraphy works, they are everywhere in the domestic film market. Due to the two categories of poetry, the bids range from tens of thousands to 120,000 yuan. Highly relevant characters. Because many fake Zheng Banqiao calligraphy market prices are hovering at low levels, even less than modern and contemporary calligraphy. In fact, Zheng Banqiao's calligraphy has profound traditional skills, ranging from his 30-year-old lowercase poems. "Axis is not difficult to see his "six and a half book" original body, size, length, positive slope, square and round, fat and thin, the density is very natural, counterfeiters are often lost in temporary imitation and crazy pretense.
The number of people auctioning Zheng Banqiao's paintings has only increased rather than decreased in the past year. Some recorded names, the return of banners, a new guise, etc., I think, collectors should find out Zheng Banqiao's paintings, conceptual art works, experience the "thin, hard and steep" characteristics of Zheng Banqiao's paintings and calligraphy. Banqiao's "bamboo" paintings are authentic (see "Bamboo" in the Shanghai Museum), often with rigorous compositions and exquisite book titles, both bamboo and stone. The God of Slenderness has a steep purpose, just like the title of Zheng Banqiao's bamboo painting "A group of kings are fierce, a group of stubborn Italians, your king's defense." At the same time, the calligraphy section of this book should be studied more to understand the wording of many authentic books from different periods. It is also very critical to distinguish the authenticity of different models of paintings.
All financial seal scripts, official script and regular script are integrated into one, and the "Banqiao style" is full of "blue pen and bamboo charm", which is definitely not something that counterfeiters can easily fake.
