Many calligraphers have been writing for a lifetime, but they have not produced valuable results. There are many people who are poor in calligraphy. On the contrary, there are some celebrities who, as long as they are willing to write, regardless of whether they can write or not, they will auction off their works after they are finished. It is common for them to sell for 300,000 yuan or 500,000 yuan, and it is not uncommon for the sky-high prices of one million yuan to go up. Why is celebrity calligraphy valuable? There is a potential secret -
The first reason is: Name pays off
Celebrity worship is a common cultural psychology, just because the other person is a star, that is, the star is dazzling , everything is valuable. Not to mention calligraphy, even the clothes Monroe wore are "treasures" worth hundreds of millions. It’s not the things that are precious, but the stars that are precious. Celebrities are rare products of social culture. Things are rare and valuable, so the value of celebrity calligraphy increases. This is not due to the quality of calligraphy, but the transfer of celebrity fame.
The second reason is: secret speculation
For some celebrities, no matter the quality of their calligraphy, as long as they write it, someone will mark a high price for it, package the bad stuff into pearls, and then sell it at a high price. , waiting for the taker to take the bait. Of course, there must be a relatively stupid guy who is willing to take over. It is very honorable to take over for a star, but the money in your pocket does not matter, so it is not a legend that people with money are stupid.
The third reason is: Wedding clothes for charity
Charity is booming, and many celebrities have high-end personalities, so they have become an army of charities. If it would be a bit tacky to donate money directly, it is better to use calligraphy as a bridge, transfer the charity value to calligraphy works, sell the works and donate money, which will have a more live and cultural expression of goodwill. Therefore, the calligraphy of many celebrities is valuable, and it should be a wedding dress for good deeds. Regardless of the quality of their calligraphy, they are worthy of respect. Good deeds are great, and we pay tribute to the stars who use calligraphy to raise funds for charity!
