Collecting calligraphy and painting requires knowledge, and participating in the purchase is also very learned. Careful attack and calm treatment can make you leave less regrets and no regrets when buying collections. It is for this reason that I compare buyers' participation in movies to taking exams. Only when the test papers are answered satisfactorily, the things are authentic and the value is worth the money can everyone be happy.
How do buyers participate in shooting? I think the first thing to do is to grasp the preparation process before shooting. As the saying goes, "Don't fight unprepared." When you decide to participate in the auction, you must carefully look through the auction catalogue and watch the preview, compare the quality and price of the works horizontally and vertically, and find out what you think is suitable for the auction. After the target is determined, it should be checked again and again. If we find traces and defects of forgery, we will further decide whether to accept or reject it. For uncommon authors, it is necessary to consult relevant materials to understand their life and the price of their works. To choose a good work, you must set your own psychological price, which is the highest price you think you can accept. The second is the auction link. From the moment you step into the auction site, you should concentrate, pay close attention to the auction process, don't miss the opportunity of auction, don't mix up the lots because of carelessness, and try to get back what you don't want. If you can't come to the site for some reason, you can entrust someone else or entrust a staff member to buy it by phone.
The biggest taboo in filming is recklessness. I often meet such buyers who rush to the auction site without even looking at the preview in advance and bid only by the catalogue. The lots at the back are either real or different, and it's too late to regret it. I once attended an auction in Beijing, but I didn't see the real thing beforehand. I only saw a figure painting signed by Qi Liangchi in the catalogue. According to the catalogue, this work is 68 cm long and 45 cm wide, with vertical axis, colored paper and no reserve price. The composition is a Buddha sitting on one side, taking off his robe and holding incense in his hand. The title of the seal script is "Infinite Life Buddha" and the title is "Three Hundred Lithographic Prints". I bid at will without careful consideration. After paying the money, I opened it and screamed. If only from the catalogue, its painting style, inscription, seal and so on are almost the same as Qi's original works. But when you get the real thing, the brushwork is weak, the calligraphy is dull, and the flaws of forgery are clear at a glance.
It seems easy to attack calmly and respond cautiously, but in reality many buyers can't do it. Sometimes the auction site is extremely hot, and the lot is "fried" badly. It is easiest for participants to hold back the fire and put up a sign together. As a result, the purchase price deviated from the level of the work and spent money that should not have been spent. I bought a picture of two horses at an auction, which is a colored paper book with a length of 130cm and a width of 43cm. It was originally installed. This painting is a horse painted by Ge, supplemented by Ma Zhongshan. The reserve price is 4000 yuan. My psychological price does not exceed 8000 yuan. In the auction, the painting price rose sharply, exceeding 8000 yuan, so I didn't mention the card again. My decision was made after careful weighing and deep thinking. If I follow the trend again, its value-added space will become smaller and smaller, which goes against my original intention of absorbing on dips and is not good for me.
Impetuous mentality comes not only from external "stimulus", but also from an uncontrollable "greed" drive inside. As buyers, most of them come to the auction site with money in their waists. When the lot they decided failed to get because it exceeded the psychological price, they always didn't want to return empty-handed, so they changed their original intention, came up with other ideas, turned their targets to other lots that they failed to evaluate in advance, and made mistakes. At a large auction in 2005, after careful consideration, I decided on two works I wanted. One is a six-character couplet of Huang Baolishu, which is 134 cm long and 24 cm wide: "Wan Li Road writes five chariots, three feet of swords and a piano." He has a smooth structure, a firm and steady pen, a full back and a dignified and generous manner, and has won the reputation of Yi Bing Shou Li Shu. The reserve price of this coupon is marked as 2800 yuan. The other is Meng Shupei's landscape painting, which is about 4.3 square meters. The paper is colored and is the original mirror heart. The reserve price is 3000 yuan, and the psychological price I set for the former is 3000 yuan, while the latter is 4000 yuan. But in the auction, both works exceeded my psychological price, and neither of them was bought. At this time, I didn't spend a penny and didn't lose a penny. I could have gone home, but I did not leave. On the spur of the moment, I wanted to take a few more pieces, so I blindly placarded. Just at the end of the auction, two more lots were won. One is the landscape fan of Shanghai painter Ren Yi, and the other is the flower vertical shaft of Beijing painter Zhang Jin. 8800 yuan for two pieces. When I took it home and looked at it carefully, Ren Yi's fan painting was incomplete, and the painting of the golden chapter was later added as a fake, which cost me thousands of dollars that I worked so hard to accumulate. I complained to myself, "What's wrong with you? If you have to hold this card, you should really cut off your arm! "
Auction has rules to follow. If you master this rule, you will win, and you will gain a lot by spending a little money on a collection. Once you make mistakes in the process of participating in the filming, you will not only lose valuable money, but also buy back worthless things. It looks awkward and it's a pity to throw it away.
