First, choose a painter carefully. To participate in the auction of calligraphy and painting works, investors should first consider which painter's works to choose.
Second, as far as the current situation is concerned, Fang Yuxing believes that the prices of the works of famous contemporary painters and painters are already on the high side, some reaching 30,000 to 40,000 yuan a square foot, and some even reaching 50,000 yuan a square foot, so the appreciation space is very limited.

Third, there are only famous people in my eyes. This irrational performance has always been regarded by professionals as a chronic disease in the art market. This narrow investment way not only increases the personal investment cost, but also is not conducive to the benign development of the market. Investors are advised to broaden their horizons, observe today's artists with a developmental eye, pay attention to those painters and painters with high artistic accomplishment, both traditional skills and innovative ideas, and choose the investment target that suits them. Facts have proved that most artists have created their own personal masterpieces before becoming famous. So long-term vision may bring ten times or even hundreds of times the benefits. At the same time, don't choose too weird works, because they often have no "artistic life", and may just use some tricks or cleverness, which can't stand the scrutiny of time.
Second, carefully distinguish between authenticity and falsehood. Needless to say, the importance of authenticity to art investment, the price of authenticity and counterfeit is often thousands of miles apart. Auctions usually have a preview time of two to three days. Investors are advised to make good use of this time, carefully study the works of interest, and deeply analyze the style, pen, painting level, naturalness, skills and final signature and seal of calligraphy. Well-known painters and painters are also very particular about some details. Take Mr. Qi Gong as an example. If Mr. Qi paints at home, he must use red star rice paper, and after using the seal, he must add a powder process. For those investors who lack professional knowledge, inviting high-level experts is an effective way to improve their appreciation ability and reduce investment risks. At present, there are many appraisers active in the front line, and a large proportion of them are young people. Although they don't have the title of researcher, they are experienced in appreciation and cautious in judging prices. In addition, if investors find that the lot is inconsistent with the catalogue or has unspecified defects, they should also immediately ask the auction house before deciding whether to participate in the auction.
Third, be cautious in bidding. After selecting the lot, the next thing investors have to do is to set a "psychological price" for the lot. "Psychological price" is actually the highest bid of investors, and this price should be determined by combining investors' preference for an item, the market price and value-added potential of the item. Be sure to be calm when bidding. If the price of the lot exceeds the "psychological price", you'd better give up, not get hot-headed. Apart from a few representative works, there will be many similar works by the same painter. What is not available in this auction may be available in the next auction.
