Antique Fair is expected to become an auction target

In recent years, auctions have become an important way for many new collectors to observe market trends. A Chinese porcelain bowl that was fetched for $3 six years ago in the flea market was sold for $2.225 million at Sotheby's New York on the 19th. This old porcelain bowl was identified as the treasure of the Northern Song Dynasty. Although the market is sluggish, the prices of antique treasures have not been affected in the slightest.

In fact, the deals at antique fairs tend to be much higher than the auction market, and they are more of a wind vane. In addition to New York Asia Week and Hong Kong International Antiques Fair, the first Taiwan Antique Art Fair will be held from April 12th to 15th. In 2012, the World Chinese Collectors Conference was first held across Taipei across the Taiwan Strait. During the conference, it coincided with the 20th anniversary of the establishment of Taiwan’s famous collection organization, Qingyi Yaji, and the “Anniversary Collection Exhibition of the Qingyi Yaji Collection”. This undoubtedly enabled many people to have a more comprehensive understanding of the collection culture in Taiwan. Mu Chuntang's special auction will feature a Ming Dynasty wooden tire plus color Samantabhadra. Compared to metal sculptures with casting templates, wood carvings are extremely valuable due to their different characteristics of wood and various types of materials. Appearing at the same time is the Ming Dynasty wooden tire gold paint freely Guanyin statue, the Ming Dynasty copper holding Dharma seated and so on.

Mu Chuntang, the person in charge of Qiu Xinjun, said that the focus of Taiwan's antique art fair is not on sales, but through the activities of the Expo, so that antique experts show their collection of ideas, but also allow everyone to understand the current developments in the art market. Qiu Xinjun purchased Western old furniture and folk art for Zhang Xinzhe, and was one of the guides for Jay Chou’s collection of antiques. He believes that the European Maastricht Art and Antiques Fair in Europe, the New York Asian Art Week in the United States, and the International Antique Exhibition in Hong Kong, China, together with the upcoming first Taiwan Antique Fair, differ in time and space, Undoubtedly, a more complete antique market trading chain will be formed between large-scale auctions to better reveal the development trend of the art market, and at the same time allow the audience to understand the beauty of Chinese art that has nothing to do with commerce.
