Scope of business of China Guardian International Auction Co., Ltd.

China painting and calligraphy is an important auction business of China Guardian, which is divided into three major projects: ancient painting and calligraphy in China, modern painting and calligraphy in China and contemporary painting and calligraphy in China. Since 2009, the global China Painting and Calligraphy Trading Center has moved to Beijing. At the Guardian auction in China, the transaction price of famous paintings and calligraphy works in different times has hit record highs, the collection group has become increasingly large and mature, and the collection grade has been continuously improved. "China Modern Painting and Calligraphy" has always been the strength of China Guardian, and the transaction records of many important modern painters' works were born here; Since 1998, with the increasing interest of collectors in ancient paintings and calligraphy, the trading volume of ancient works has increased. China Guardian opened a special exhibition of "China Ancient Paintings and Calligraphy", which carefully collected the treasures of past dynasties circulated in sequence before the Qing Dynasty, which promoted the overseas return of national treasures and the value orientation and promotion of folk rare treasures; In 2005, China Guardian newly established the project "Contemporary Painting and Calligraphy in China", paying attention to personal original style and artistic taste, and at the same time fully considering the professional comments and market feedback of the art world, and making our professional judgment and valuable forward-looking guidance while developing this vast potential market.

Since 1995, China Guardian has held special auctions or series of special auctions for famous collectors at home and abroad, such as "Yang Yongde Collects Qi Baishi's Paintings and Calligraphy", "Fu Baoshi Boutique and Zhang Collects China's Paintings and Calligraphy" and "Zhen Ji-Zhang Daqian's, Huang's and Qi Baishi's Paintings and Calligraphy", which have achieved great success and won wide acclaim from collectors at home and abroad. Since China Guardian launched the special auction of porcelain crafts in the autumn of 1994, its business has developed rapidly and the auction has always maintained a high-grade level. The weight of the blue-and-white dragon and phoenix ten-ridge washing in Xuande of Ming Dynasty and the red dragon-patterned celestial bottle in the blue-and-white glaze in Yongzheng of Qing Dynasty were once sold at 67 1000 yuan respectively. In 2002, a pair of big four cabinets engraved with Huang Huali Yunlong pattern in the early Qing Dynasty set a new world record for Chinese classical furniture auction for 9.43 million yuan, which attracted international attention. In 2003, the special exhibition "Wang He and Yuan Quanyou Collected China Art Works" was an unprecedented success, and all 43 lots/kloc-0 were sold, including many lots such as Fu Xiqin, the Great Sage of the Tang Dynasty, which set new world records one after another.

In the same year, a piece of Qingganlong's "The Full Volume of Silk Axle Portrait Stone Pavilion" was sold for 35.75 million yuan. This piece, which integrates painting, calligraphy, inscriptions and brocade skills, is hidden in the Forbidden Palace and won the surprise auction of the treasures of the emperors in the Qing Dynasty, creating a new collection and investment space for China royal art in the market, not only creating a world record for the auction of China silk works.

Oil painting sculpture auction is one of the earliest management projects established by China Guardian. 1994 The first oil painting auction was held in the spring, and the sculpture auction was added in the following year.

Both the early masterpieces of the older generation of oil painters in China and the cutting-edge works of contemporary artists have excellent auction records in Guardian, China. At the first oil painting auction in 1994, Chen Yifei's Tibet-themed "Shan Difeng" set a record for the oil painting auction in China at that time with a sky-high price of 2.86 million yuan. 1995 Liu Chunhua's famous oil painting "Chairman Mao's Visit to Anyuan" was sold for 6.05 million yuan, and Chen Yanning's "Chairman Mao's Inspection of Guangdong Rural Areas" was sold for 654.38+00150,000 yuan in 2005, constantly setting a new record for oil painting auction in China. In the spring of 2006, In the New Era-Enlightenment from Adam and Eve, co-produced by Meng Luding and Zhang Qun, was sold for 6.27 million yuan, and China's contemporary art works set a new market record.

After ten years' cultivation, China oil painting auction market has made a substantial leap since 2003. More and more domestic young and middle-aged successful people began to pay attention to oil painting collection, and many international collectors began to actively follow up the domestic oil painting market, forming a situation in which collectors at home and abroad rushed to buy. The artistic value and collection value of works of different styles and genres have been affirmed by the market from different angles. Since 2005, the total auction turnover of "China Oil Painting Sculpture" in spring and autumn has exceeded 200 million yuan, with an annual growth rate of nearly four times. In the autumn of 2006, China Guardian launched the topic "Twenty Years of Contemporary Art in China" to promote the healthy and stable development of the market in a more systematic, complete and academic position. In the history of Chinese development, the invention of papermaking and printing promoted the spread of civilization. Therefore, bibliophiles have always been honored as "scholarly families". Although books and classics have suffered from the ups and downs of history, with the advent of the digital age, people's original intention of loving books remains unchanged, and their pursuit of books is increasing day by day.

1In the autumn of 994, China Guardian launched a special auction of rare ancient books in Chinese mainland. Since its establishment, this project has created many world records. On this platform, the classics written by the silent Tang Dynasty for thousands of years, the secret books of the Song and Yuan Dynasties, the gorgeous and exquisite prints of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the letters of celebrities with superb calligraphy skills have all been happily collected by public and private collectors, and they have a new home. In 2003, a generation of rare books, a national treasure rare book at home and abroad, Tang Xianshu's Writing Classic Ink, five proofreading books, Thirteen Volumes of Shangshu's Mutual Attention and Mutual Annotation, and 1922 The General Category of Song Dynasty's Tongjian Edition, which flowed out of the Forbidden City, appeared at the auction of rare books in Guardian, China. In 2005, the Collection of the Past Events of the Yunta was unveiled collectively and sold as a whole at a price of 236,543.8+10,000 yuan, which continued the legend for a hundred years.

In the past ten years, China Guardian has also cooperated with government departments to promote the national treasure collection of ancient books, including Weng Ji, Zhu Chunyu's post, Shi Song, Qian Jingtang's collection and Chen Chengzhong's old collection, which have been commended by the government many times. Jewelry and jade auction based on scientific and technical appraisal is deeply concerned and loved by investors and collectors. Jewelry and jade lots with novel design and excellent quality not only directly bear practical value, but also contain long-term potential for maintaining and increasing value. High-quality jewelry and jade are highly concentrated in value, which is not only the most convenient property to collect, carry and transfer, but also highly wearable and decorative. For beginners, this is also a collection item that is easier to learn to distinguish between authenticity and falsehood. With the increasing scarcity of natural resources, first-class jadeite, like other types of cultural relics handed down from ancient times, has a high collection and appreciation space.

China Guardian started the jewelry auction in Chinese mainland in the spring of 1995, collecting high-quality and most distinctive jewelry and jade articles from home and abroad, and many successful auctions have been held.

Although the special auction of clocks and watches appeared in 2004 was a start-up, it also left a good performance. Since 2006, jewelry, jadeite and watch projects have joined hands, hoping to jointly build a brand-new platform and provide more thoughtful professional services for collectors.

1994, China guardian launched the "big worship auction" to serve the public collection. On the basis of adhering to standardized management, it has brought people new market opportunities with unpretentious style and enjoyed a good reputation both inside and outside Beijing. 1995, the "Great Worship Auction" was renamed as "Weekend Auction" and held regularly on the second weekend of each month. Auctions include celebrity calligraphy and painting, porcelain and jade crafts, classical furniture, jewelry and jade, clocks and cameras and many other categories. In 2005, in order to meet the needs of the development of the cultural relics and art market, the "weekend auction" was changed to "four seasons auction", and the grade and market positioning of the collected lots were greatly improved compared with the past, and the auction cycle was once a quarter.

The "Four Seasons Auction" was widely recognized by the market as soon as it appeared. China's paintings and calligraphy, porcelain handicrafts, clocks and watches, etc. all rank first among similar lots in terms of quality, transaction scale and total turnover, and occupy a very important position in the mid-market of cultural relics and artworks.
