Su Shizhu (1949.3-) Manchu. At present, he is also a member of the Standing Committee of Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, deputy director of Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference Calligraphy and Painting Office, president of National Cultural Heritage Administration Publishing House, vice chairman of China Calligraphers Association, vice chairman of China Calligraphers Association Central State Organs Branch, chairman of Central State Organs Calligraphy and Painting Association, director of China Calligraphers Association, vice chairman of China Cultural Relics Protection Foundation, president of China Old-age Calligraphy and Painting Research Association, president of China Calligraphy Collectors Association, member of China Calligraphy Association Evaluation Committee, chairman of China Education Association Calligraphy Education Professional Committee, professor of China Calligraphy Training Center, and senior consultant of Art China. His works participated in the "Glorious Mission-National Exhibition of Painting and Calligraphy in Press and Publication Industry" which opened in China Revolutionary Military Museum on August 23rd, 20th1. He has participated in many large-scale calligraphy and painting exhibitions at home and abroad, and held personal morning meetings and calligraphy lectures in Japan, Taiwan Province Province, Hongkong and Macau. 1997 won the title of "100 members of China Federation of Literary and Art Circles" and enjoyed the special government allowance of the State Council in the same year. 1999 was awarded the title of "Young and Middle-aged Expert with Outstanding Contribution" by the Ministry of Personnel.
What is the price of Su Shizhu's works? It depends not only on the size of the work, but also on the stage of the work, whether there are special events and special people when creating, the attitude of the author's own creation, the number of seals on the work, the difference between seals and so on! No matter what painter's works are, there is no uniform price, because each painter's works have no uniform size, uniform content and uniform level. Each work is different in size, content and level. Of course, the price of each painting is different, and the painter's works are sold according to how much a painting costs. Not according to the price of a flat foot. Therefore, no matter whose calligraphy and painting it is, no one can evaluate it before seeing it.
The same is true of the price of Su Shizhu's calligraphy works, and the paintings and calligraphy of China's five richest people: Huang Zejin, Cui Ruzhuo, Ceng Fanzhi, Huang Yongyu and Jin Shangyi are no exception.
Therefore, I think that no painter's works, no matter what the price, should not rely too much on the price set by the market or the price given by others, because that is only a reference price, not an accurate and standard price. Also, no matter whose work price, you will be unhappy if I say low, and you will not be practical if I say high. Therefore, no matter whose work it is, if you really want to know its true and accurate price, you can only know it if you sell it. If it sells 10000, its true and accurate price is 100000; if it sells 1000000, its true and accurate price is 100000.
Also, no matter who it is, no matter whose work it is, don't believe too much what the market price of a certain work is, because the market price is unreliable. If the market price is reliable, the calligraphy and painting prices of Qi Baishi, Zhang Daqian, Xu Beihong, Wu Guanzhong, Huang Zejin, Cui Ruzhuo, Huang Yongyu and Fan Ceng will not exceed the market price. If the market price is reliable, then most painters' works now have market prices, but now most painters' works are actually valuable and have no market. So I think, no matter who, no matter whose works, don't trust the market price of those so-called so-and-so works too much, because it is unreliable.
