Liu Yiqian said that before bidding for the works, experts were invited to make an appraisal, and its authenticity is beyond doubt. He said that Sotheby's will set up a special group to invite experts from museums around the world to study and discuss the authenticity of Kung Fu Post. He questioned the research methods of Zhong Yinlan, Dan Guolin and Ling Lizhong, and called for publishing the research articles of three experts as soon as possible to solve the confusion.
Sotheby's, the seller, also issued a statement, insisting that Gong Fu Tie is the work of Su Shi, a poet in the Song Dynasty, and said, "We have not received the so-called report that this work is a fake in the recent media".
2065438+June 0, 2004, 65438+2065438, two research articles 14000 words signed by three research librarians, Dan Guolin, Zhong Yinlan and Ling Lizhong, were officially published in the professional media "China Cultural Relics Newspaper Collection Appreciation Weekly", which explained in detail why 50 million collections were forged.
Appraised and verified by the Painting and Calligraphy Research Department of Shanghai Museum, this "Gong Fu Tie" is a "double hook contour filling" fake. "Double-hook outline coloring", also known as "double-hook ink coloring", was mainly used in the Tang and Song Dynasties to protect the original works and copy them for learning. This method was easy to spread to Pan, and became one of the main means of counterfeiting, making fake calligraphy and deceiving the world for profit in the late Qing Dynasty.
On February 8, 2065438+04/kloc-0, Su Shi's Kung Fu Post appeared in Beijing. Organizers hope to use the high-definition image data and technical appraisal results released on the same day to dispel the fog of the previous "true and false" debate. Three researchers, Zhong Yinlan, Dan Guolin and Ling Lizhong, from the Painting and Calligraphy Research Department of Shanghai Museum, took Su Shi's Liu Xiyu in Su Mihan's Collection of Paintings and Calligraphy recorded by Li Zuoxian (1807- 1876) in the late Qing Dynasty as an example, and used the method of "double-hook contour filling" to research and study the phenomenon of fake painting history.

After textual research, it is found that the fake Gong Fu Tie was copied from Ansuxuan Stone Carving edited by Bao (about 1763- 1807) in the late Qing Dynasty, and its production time can also be set as four years of Daoguang (1820) to ten years of Tongzhi (18767). Ling Lizhong shows the rubbings of Su Shi's Kung Fu Post in Su Xuan stone carving collection. In contrast, it can be seen that his calligraphy level is far better than that of Gong Futie of Sotheby's.
Shan Guolin in Su Shi's Analysis thinks that Gong Fu Tie conforms to Su Shi's calligraphy style, especially close to Bei You Tie, and most of his brushwork is rich and smooth, but some places seem clumsy. He thinks it may be a mistake caused by imitation. As for Weng Fanggang's inscription and postscript, Dan Guolin judged it as forgery from two aspects: seal and calligraphy.

Researcher Shang Bo pointed out some circumstantial evidence that Kung Fu Post was copied and forged. There is a seal of "Shi Jia" on the lower right of the hook of "Gong Fu Tie", which is a reprint of the rubbings of Gong Fu Tie by Su Shi, a stone carving in Su Xuan. This is a riding print, which should be connected with the side print.
This parking lot is a shaft. Under Weng Fanggang's inscription, the seals of famous collectors in Ming Dynasty can be seen. According to the collection habit of the item, it will be printed on the Kung Fu sticker. There is a hexagonal seal of the same color under this lot, which reads "Su Shi sincerely bid farewell, just making a suggestion". Several collectors who have handled Gongfu Iron for a hundred years used the same inkpad, which caused controversy.
Except for Xu Hanqing, the inscriptions and seals in Ming and Qing Dynasties are all false, which is the usual trick of counterfeiters. Moreover, the hook book of Gong Fu Tie was not collected by Angie in the past, and there is no historical fact that Li Zuoxian said it was originally collected by Yongxing family and engraved in Jin Zhai Antique Tie.
precedent
There is a precedent for copying Su Dongpo's calligraphy. In the collection of Shanghai World Expo, researchers found a fake of Su Shi's Liu Xiyu, with the same time and method. Three Shanghai Bo researchers found that Yi's fake was copied by Wang Yongxing (1752- 1823), the eleventh son of Qianlong, and the production time of this copy was from the 10th year of Jiaqing (1805) to the 10th year of Tongzhi. Through research, it is found that the imitation technique of this imitation is exactly the same as that of Kung Fu Sticker. Wang, a scholar in the late Qing Dynasty (18 14), pointed out at that time: "Recently, most of the ink sold in the market came from the double hooks of legal posts." The dispute over the authenticity of Gong Fu Tie continues. On February 4th, 2065438, Liu Yiqian made a special announcement to the media, saying that he would take Gong Futie to meet media friends at 2 pm on February 20th/KLOC-0th/8th. The website will conduct a comprehensive "physical examination" of Gong Futie through modern scientific and technological means such as high-magnification scanning images, and the latest research results will also be announced.
