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.
