seal cutting market is rising
seven or eight years ago, as Fan Zhenghong, President of Shandong printing society, he has participated in several art auctions.
what makes him most impressed is that in these auctions, many of the famous seal cutting prices are low and the price is not high: "for example, Wu Changshuo, Qi Baishi and other famous seal engraving works, the price was very cheap, only a few million yuan up and down." But in just less than ten years, the price of these works has turned a hundred times: "now a Qi Baishi seal cutting work, the price is more than a million."
especially in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, the seal seal stamp collection heat is gradually warming up: "but compared with the collection of calligraphy and painting, seal cutting collection is more scarce, because the seal engraving works have high requirements for his wrist, physical strength and eyes, so many seal engraving artists may have more than a hundred of their works in life." However, in Shandong, the seal seal stamp collection market is still in a relatively low position: "the same level of seal cutting works, the prices in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang markets are generally more than double the price of the Shandong market." This is related to the large number of collectors and long market traditions in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces. Fan Zhenghong said.
because of this, Fan Zheng Hong is more optimistic about the Shandong seal cutting collection market today: "it's a good investment opportunity."
the market recovery level is high
although the seal cutting Market in Shandong is still in its infancy, the seal engravings have formed a strong trend, which is the envy of the seal engraving in other provinces. "
" in the seal cutting market of Shandong, many famous families, especially our Shandong printing society, began in 1995, and have gathered the most powerful and influential seal engraving artists of Qilu today, and have a great influence on the field of national seal and seal engraving. Speaking of this matter, a few silent Fan Zheng Hong became chatty, and a little pride appeared in his eyebrows.
indeed, Fan Zheng Hong has the pride of capital - and compared with most of the provincial art group clubs in China, the entrance threshold of Shandong Indian press is somewhat scary. "Our requirements for the seal engraving of the seal family are that each entry seal engraver must first become a member of the national Calligraphers Association." Only after having this qualification can we apply to join our Shandong press. After that, we will conduct a series of reviews of the application. Because of this, the members of the Shandong press club are basically the elite of the Shandong calligraphy industry.
printing stone itself can collect
traditional Chinese art history, pay attention to the unity of poetry, book, painting and printing. Seal cutting is one of the traditional Chinese art, as well as calligraphy and painting. The process of seal cutting creation is more complicated and demanding than that of calligraphy and painting. An excellent seal cutter must first be a calligraphic and calligrapher, and seal cutting is created under the premise of calligraphy and painting. Fan Zhenghong said. "And as a seal engraver, the time for creation is shorter than that of calligraphers. A calligrapher has arrived at the age of seventy or eighty. It is just when the creation of the works is pure, but the seal engraving can not be created at this age, so there are few works in his life." "From the collection value of seal cutting, it also has very good quality." Fan Zhenghong explained that, first of all, the seal is a very rare and truly artistic artist's artistic works, and its quality is not inferior to that of calligraphy and painting; secondly, each seal is independent and the seal engraving is never repeated; and the seal engraved carrier is a seal, and the seal itself has a high collection value. Now, some of the value of printed stone is no less valuable than that of jade.
when it comes to the first exhibition of the seal cutting of the nine city exhibition this year, Fan Zhenghong said: "the seal carving team of the nine cities joined together, representing the seal cutting level at all levels. Some of the seals have won many national exhibitions and even the highest exhibition awards, and they all have certain influence in the domestic seal cutting circles.
