Art consultant. This is a must, you need hire a professional art consultant. Please keep in mind that it has nothing to do with the auction house, because it's not certainly genuine to buy it at the auction house. The collectors need a vision, and hiring an art consultant can solve many worries. The primary function of the art consultant is to determine the direction of investment, and choose artists, secondly to help investors identify the authenticity, and determine the quality of the collection. A competent art consultant can do three things in a short time: A) Determine the authenticity of the work. B) Judge the merits of the work. C) Evaluate the price of the work. The art consultant can help you increase the added value of the collection. After purchasing the collection, it is necessary to add value to the collection as much as possible in order to increase its economic content in a shorter period of time. It is common to invite many famous inscriptions, hold academic seminars, hold art exhibitions, publish collections, etc. These promotional measures will make your collections famous and easy to shoot.
2. The investment
The main purpose of the collection is to invest, but our experience is that make a profit margin between frequent purchases and sales of characters and paintings will be very limited. The real beneficiaries are often collectors who are patiently waiting for the right time to sell. Investors purchase some famous artists that usually have higher prices, and hard to next sell, and can't complete business operations. More cautious for young artists' paintings because of the many variables. Taking traditional Chinese painting as an example, the importance of poetry, calligraphy and painting in four aspects is poetry first, calligraphy second, and painting third. "No soul, no value." Literary thought is very important in artists' works. Without the ability of knowledges enough, it is impossible to reach the level of the master. There are also famous artists' painters and his students in our considerations, especially the disciples of modern art masters are highly sought after by the market, who imitate and innovate can also become the masters. For collectors, the inheritance of life experience is part of the consideration. For artists, they need cooperative institutions with good business thinking to help them appreciate and push their work. The hype in the market is to maximize the commercial interests, rather than considering whether the artist's growth will have a negative impact. Some artists who do not understand modern business operations, the work will fail because there is no specific standard, so this is not the object of collecting investment.
The value of a work of art depends largely on the power of communication through various media, including publications, exhibitions, events, social networks, and so on. For publishing books, if the circulation is large, it can be accompanied by the purchaser for a long time, which will have a huge influence. There are also professional exhibitions and social events that can enhance their status and reputation in the industry. These are very helpful for the value-added of the work. The communication method that needs to be particularly emphasized is the online community. Today, no one can look down on the speed and power of the network. From a collection point of view, it is best to choose artists to buy their works before mass media communication, which has a greater value.
3. The maintenance
It's best to pay attention to some identification tips and maintenance methods here. For example, most contemporary artists don't understand paper, ink, and brush. Today's market of Xuan paper is less than 20%, 80% of which is made of pulp and other materials combined with straw and other things. The bigger defect is that the storage time is short, almost fifty to sixty years from now is would be rotten or crushed. At present, the more reliable painting and calligraphy identification technology is to identify the authenticity by identifying paper. If the collectors treat it with heirloom, then the paper has its decisive factor. In addition, the prices of calligraphy and painting is getting higher and higher, the most direct reason is paper. Also collectors need to pay attention to the seal, Ink pad, and courtesy name, etc. Most of all collectors often hang in the room to share their minds with their friends, but they neglect maintenance, and storage. Many ancient paintings are bitten by the bugs or rats, which will cause damage to the artworks. It needs special bag packaging, and is placed in a confined space without rat bites and mildew. You can't use the hand to shoot, you must put it on the table flat, and gently wipe off the surface dust with a brush. Do not expose the calligraphy and painting to the long-term exposure. The calligraphy and painting will be affected by the sunshine, which will cause the paper to become hard and break, and the more serious paper is even difficult to expose. It is best to install the frame to avoid weathering and dust pollution, and it can be ventilated at intervals. When you are watching the calligraphy and painting, you should very carefully. The longer age artworks are the more fragile the whole material. It's easy to fold and break. When you open or fold, you can't to leave obvious creases, and marks.
Be especially careful when treating all of your precious collections. FOREVER!
