Tiancheng Press Release
PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE TIANCHENG INTERNATIONAL’S SPRING AUCTION OF MODERN AND CONTEMPORARY ART WILL BE HELD ON 6 APRIL 2013 AT HONG KONG Hong Kong, 28 February - Tiancheng International will present its Spring SaLe of Modern and Contemporary Art on 6 April at The Connaught Room, 1/F of Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong. Seeking to promote the thread of Chinese culture and traditions, Tiancheng International attempts to demonstrate the artists’ contribution of their inheriting and spreading traditional Chinese aesthetic spirits. Inspired by the musical arrangement, the auction is divided into three sections including Overture, Concerto and Symphony to present the development of Chinese Modern and Contemporary Art over the course from the early 20th century till nowadays. Public preview will start from 4 to 5 April at Hong Kong. THE FIRST SECTION – OVERTURE Around the 1920’s, the Qing Dynasty came to an end and the Republic of China was established. Many of those with aspirations flocked to the West to study Western art, building up a robust “New China”. From then on, a series of art revolutions started off. The advocate of art magazines, the birth of many Western art groups and the establishment of specialised art institutions all conceived the tone set for the development of China’s modern art education in the early 20th Century. In particular, as an advocate of “East meets West” and creative freedom, the Hangzhou Arts School paved the way for the eXtension of China’s art history onto far- reaching cultural axes. In the midst of all the collisions between East and West, they composed a passionate overture for the first half of the 20th century. -

[1] To the eighty-five works borrowed from France, the Shanghai Museum was able to add a single work from its own collection: an academic drawing of a seated male nude, probably dating from the early years of the nineteenth century (fig. 1). The drawing, long attributed to Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, has been in the possession of the museum since 1977, but it had never been shown by the institution before. -

AND WHO WASN’T? 34 2020 - THE YEAR IN REVIEW 46 TOP 500 ARTISTS BY FINE ART AUCTION REVENUE IN 2020 Methodology The Art Market analysis presented in this report is based on results of Fine Art auctions that oc- cured between 1st January and 31st December 2020, listed by Artprice and Artron. For the purposes of this report, Fine Art means paintings, sculptures, drawings, photographs, prints, videos, installa- tions, tapestries, but excludes antiques, anonymous cultural goods and furniture. All the prices in this report indicate auction results – including buyer’s premium. Millions are abbreviated to “m”, and billions to “bn”. The $ sign refers to the US dollar and the ¥ sign refers to the Chinese yuan. The exchange rate used to convert AMMA sales results in China is an average annual rate. Any reference to “Western Art” or “the West” refers to the global art market, minus China. Regarding the Western Art market, the following historical segmentation of “creative period” has been used: • “Old Masters” refers to works by artists born before 1760. • “19th century” refers to works by artists born between 1760 and 1860. • “Modern art” refers to works by artists born between 1860 and 1920. • “Post-war art” refers to works by artists born between 1920 and 1945. • “Contemporary art” refers to works by artists born after 1945. -

Deposit Guide Contact: email Searching for Yield in Real Assets Tara Michelle Velez PhD Thesis Birkbeck, University of London 22nd June 2017 1 Abstract Three empirical chapters addressing investments in real, alternative assets are presented in this thesis. Chapter 2 focuses on fine art as an investment. In recent years, the art market has been characterized by final auction prices greatly exceeding the ex- ante estimates published by international auction houses. We define this difference as a rarity premium and build a ‘Rarity Index’ by aggregating the premia relative to the mean. We also investigate the benefits, outside financial performance, associated with art ownership and introduce the term of ‘ownership yield’, meant to encapsulate both aesthetic yield and features of conspicuous consumption. This ownership yield may account for the large differences between the values of rarity indexes we construct for three famous families of paintings over the period 2003 to 2013. In Chapter 3, we turn our attention to residential real estate in alpha cities. We argue that relative price changes in prime property markets have greatly deviated from non-prime markets on a national level, while similarities across prime markets in different countries have increased. -
1. an Introduction to the Development of Western Painting. When Did People Start Painting?
Hong Kong Visual Arts Appreciation – Web-based course for secondary school teachers (Painting) Author: Ivy LIN 1. An Introduction to the Development of Western Painting. When did people start painting? This question is fundamental yet complex. In the West, the earliest known wall paintings from as early as 15,000-10,000 B.C. were discovered in the Altamira Cave in Spain (Fig. 1) and in the Lascaux Cave in France (horse) (Fig.2). These wall paintings demonstrate how people from the Stone Age began painting vivid and life-like representations of objects through careful observation. Primitive Western paintings were used in religious rituals, and as painting developed, religious art became central to Western art. Most ancient Western paintings were painted on vessels or on the walls of caves. They had several functions: chronicling history, glorifying certain deeds and prayer. Stone Age cave paintings principally depict scenes of herding and hunting, whereas paintings on tomb walls from the Egyptian and Assyrian Empires show mythological representations and scenes of everyday reflecting man’s quest for eternal life. The introduction of the “foreshortening” technique1 (Fig. 3) in early Greek art marked one of the major accomplishments of Archaic Greek art. It laid the foundation for perspective adopted by later painters and paved the way for the use of an objective, rational and analytic method to represent nature. The Roman Empire adopted the fine artistic traditions of Greece as exemplified by Christian painting which began to flourish in Europe during the time of Emperor Constantine. Byzantine mosaic art was followed by Gothic stained glass in the Middle Ages. -
