review of the international highlights of the fall auctions 2010

The Economist summarizes the peak increases in Fine Asian Arts for fall 2010 (in English). Excerpt:

- - -
The last two months have seen some astonishing bidding in auctions of Chinese treasures. Record after record has fallen away as newly wealthy collectors from mainland China have piled into sale rooms in London, New York and Hong Kong, anxious to bring home their imperial cultural patrimony.

The market for Chinese art works has strengthened considerably over the past five years, and the high prices have drawn out a number of masterpieces from old collections in Europe and America. However, there is a danger of sellers becoming over-confident, even greedy. A close examination of some of the lots that have achieved record prices since early October shows that success cannot be taken for granted. Even the best pieces sometimes fail to excite a saleroom.

A double-gourd vase with an imperial seal mark from the Qianlong period was one of the star lots of Sotheby’s sale in Hong Kong on October 7th. The vase was one of 13 pieces in the sale that had once been in the collection of J.T. Tai. Born in 1910, Tai started out as an apprentice to his uncle who had an antiques shop in Wuxi, an old city south of the Yangtse delta. After Mao closed China to foreign trade, Tai and his family moved to Hong Kong in 1949 and eventually became the greatest of the post-war generation of Chinese art dealers, selling to such great collectors as Avery Brundage and Arthur Sackler.

So a consignment from Tai’s collection was worth marketing on its own merit, and Sotheby’s duly gathered the pieces together into a catalogue of their own. The vase was not the most significant of these, but it attracted the most attention. This was in part because it had come from Fonthill House where Alfred Morrison, Britain’s richest 19th-century commoner, had built up one of the greatest English collections of Chinese treasures. His heirs sold the vase at Christie’s in 1971, but a Fonthill provenance still counts for something.

Two bidders emerged from the early throng, and Alice Cheng, a Hong Kong collector and sister of Robert Cheng, a well-known octogenarian collector and dealer, proved the winner. Mrs Cheng paid HK$253m ($32.6m) for the vase, including commission and taxes, more than five times the top estimate.

Unhappy underbidders often come back and fight to a more successful finish another day. A Chinese collector who lost out in an earlier auction is believed to be the man behind the £53.1m sale of another Qianlong vase in a provincial auction outside London just four weeks later, on November 12th.

The yellow and turquoise vase, elaborately decorated with fish and flowers, has a double-walled construction so that an inner vase can be seen through the pierced outer wall. Intricate, finely carved and richly coloured, the vase was almost certainly fired in the imperial kilns for the emperor Qianlong, and is exactly the sort of work that appeals to the Chinese new rich.

The vase had been consigned by an anonymous brother and sister who were clearing out a suburban family home. They had no idea of its worth. Dealers who saw the piece in London during Asian Art Week were impressed. But neither they, nor the auctioneer, Peter Bainbridge, could have foreseen the 18 minutes of furious bidding it would arouse on the day. An agent acting on behalf of a mainland Chinese collector bought the vase on the telephone for nearly 36 times its top estimate, making it the most expensive piece of Chinese art ever sold at auction.

prices for ancient Chinese art at record high! The market

is currently at the top of the peak surcharges on international auctions almost bizarre shapes. Museum exhibits excellent provenance reached such heights that you have basically already speak of a "bubble". The emergence of investment funds, the bid at the auctions reinforces this impression.

The following excerpts are from the report of the Trade Journal of the Asia Week in New York, were auctioned in the ancient Asian art of the houses Christie's and Sotheby's. The original article can be found here .

The wealth of the second-largest economy (China; Anm.dV) contributed only $ 55,500,000 at Christie's to total income of $ 70,750,000. This is the highest and second highest result for Chinese Asian-scores in New York for market leaders Christie `s. (...)

Taylor Lautner Sound Board

obeys its own rules - Koller surprises

The auction house auctioned Koller in Zurich last Saturday a fine selection of Asian art. Besides the ancient Buddhist sculptures, among whom were many highlights, the auction had some surprisingly high increases recorded for the failed objects.

were not all high fixed objects, however, be sold. A Tibetan monk in the style of fire-gilt bronze-Lama was from the 18th to about 60,000, - € limit price such as merchandise. But powerful figures such as a Vairocana with 31cm height from the West Tibet the late 14th and 15 Century showed a premium of more than 50,000, - € (including premium) shows that careful collectors were present. At a selling price of more than 76,000 € a Vajrabhairava Yamataka was from Mongolia of the 18th century in the amount of 17.5 cm as a real highlight.

Some cover pots and vases made of silver, with applications of jade, coral, lapis lazuli and turquoise, were also sold surprisingly well. There were pieces from Mongolia, which were undated, but in the catalog, some with a provenance statement that attributed to the acquisition in the 1960s.

A real highlight however, was the sale of a bronze of Manjushri seated on a lion, dates from the Qianlong period, height 33cm. The extremely fine bronze casting was not fire-gilded, but only in the main roles, painted in the face of the Bodhisattva in gold. With a starting price of just over 7,000, - € climbed the bidding war to just 200,000 - € (!!!) premium included. Such surcharges can be seen as a rule only if the character has a particular signature or mark, which in this case was not given.

seems the face of such heights is hardly surprising that a pair of Buddhist lions, worked in cloisonné enamel, of about 11,000, - euro starting price to around 150,000 - Sale price includes Premium increase. After all, the lion's 38cm tall and dated to the 19th century As

really surprising, however, must be called a small jade pendant, which was in the China of the 18th century, dated was thus in the Qianlong period, and two-dimensional work at a height of 8.5 cm. The song climbed from 2.700, - € starting price of 67.000, - € plus Supplement premium.

addition to high-end properties that are likely to contain high surcharges, such as a Schnitzlackdeckel that the Chinese emperor was ascribed to the auction quite surprised with fancy bonuses. A lidded from Burmajade about that dated from the early 20.Jh was with more than 25,000, - € sold but surprisingly high. Just be surprising that a porcelain vase with a decorative motif "Nine Peaches", the 19th in the 20.Jh and dated for more than 24,000, - € was sold. Whether it enables us to see the trend that now, increasingly, younger pieces are selling well, remains to be discussed.

Structural transformations - the role of new media in trade with Asian art

New technologies, new media like the Internet - but also global economic developments are changing the art market worldwide. This is felt in all areas: the auction houses, upscale art galleries, art fairs, and even the individual collectors and others interested in used today more and more digital Media in dealing with art.
For next year, for example, is an art exhibition planned for the first time should only take place on the web. There is already a pure on-line auctions also renowned worldwide and not least the set top galleries in the area of Asian art in high-quality digital catalogs in PDF format to attract the attention of your customers. That alone
saw a decade ago is very different. The area of the ancient Asian art is a relatively small side-show in the entire art world however, its changes to meet here in the same way and there may even be that by the special role of China in the internationalization of this market segment progressed very far.

represents the light of these developments, the question of what to expect for the future: What is the trade with ancient Asian art in ten years?
What changes can we expect?

to answer these questions, it is important to consider the structure of the market for antique Asian art to some basics. Although this is far too extensive for this post, but I would like to highlight some aspects:

The fact that we in the developed countries, in Germany, Europe and the U.S. at all in such extensive collections of Asian art in our museums and in private possession have dates back to the history of the late 19.Jhdts. For the Asian art is today still believe that we benefit in the "West" of the historical events run from a time when countless objects from Asian countries were not among them high-quality cultural goods, archaeological finds objects whose cultural value to quantify is.
in straight case of China, which is particularly clear. The local auction houses and other market participants will benefit more than twice: first in this country exists because of historical conditions, still high-quality antique art objects from China. And the other Chinese collectors pay high prices received under the offer rapid economic development of China.
has of course the Chinese economic growth brought about not only financially strong Chinese collectors, but also created an entire market for ancient Chinese art. The auction houses, the young in China. Name as Hanhai, Guardian, Poly Auction, and the like, there were twenty years yet - although they now write ions million sales.

In the 90 years used auction houses, which were among the largest in the industry, catalogs, in which not even all of the objects were shown, and Hungary has not completely in color. That may be one or the other house now but still so hold, but in most cases have yet been significant developments.
you can see today the complete catalog on the web. Highlights of the auction videos are published, and they can research about the objects around the world, if you want to make the effort. Some of the big houses such as open-access archives where you can search for comparable properties. Free on the Internet.

And that's just the actual situation - and no vision for the future.

Summing up the above points, so the historical conditions, the internationalization, economic development and technological and media development, then you have to say: These conditions are an enormous market drivers!
But these above points suggest that the market for antique Asian art continues to grow - regardless of trends and preferences of the collectors.

Where does this development? What can we expect in the future?

I called in some specifications about the core issues that affect my opinion, the art market in Asian art at the most. It is clear to see that today creates a completely new situation. The new technologies raise the market participants, who used to regionally oriented, international now in an environment. The use of the Internet leads to another, easier networking and also to more transparency in the arts.

is therefore expected that there will be more and more innovative players in the field of art, which open with the help of the existing and ever more advanced technologies, new possibilities in the art trade.
Asian-purchase is an example of such market participants. Here, anyone with an ancient object in the Chinese or Asian art in general, given the opportunity to evaluate this object or collection within a network or across to explore various options for the best possible sale.
I am convinced that within the foreseeable future, further and new participants are aufreteten that connect the art trade and the Internet.
