Active performance art dealer at auction, is in the trough of the Chinese art market in recent years a large bright color.
Auction in some important events, sign in to see familiar faces "expert", but this is often not their purchasing behavior. At the same time, when suning such enterprises or institutions compete for some heavy items, behind it also cannot leave the think tank or agent "output" experience.
From "middlemen" old business
Art dealer is an ancient profession, as early as a few hundred years ago European has emerged, after a long historical process, become the important link between artists and collectors, and through its oil painting forward-looking vision and operation behavior, direct and profound impact on the future of the art market.
Chinese art dealer sprout in the middle of the qing era "yangzhou eight eccentrics", but was never developed into a normative and mature professional, and mixed with the status of an art dealer, "expert", and so on, in the folk known as "broker", a mixed color. After the 1990 s, with the development of Chinese contemporary art, the first group of art dealers in the true sense, such as zhang xiaogang, the emergence of the "four major Kings", is inseparable from the agent as a "push" action. But the brokers often hidden in the scenes, for the public is the existence of a mysterious.
There are two kinds of art dealers in general
Art dealer surfaced as a group, is a new phenomenon and trend of Chinese art market. To analyze its reason, on the one hand is the inevitable requirement of the art market to; Market in 2012, on the other hand, since the beginning of this adjustment, many market participants saw the appreciation "myth" burst, some speculators to exit the market, stick to the investors lose money is easier than making money, realize the importance oil painting reproductions of professional knowledge and experience in this field. At the same time, enterprises institutions to enter the market in great quantities, even as the goal, to create art gallery and the use of "information asymmetry" earn price difference art dealer, "expert" caused by a lack of capital strength, as well as the information becomes more and more transparent, space to be squeezed, then turned towards the direction of the art dealer.
Alleged agent, it is for buyers and sellers trade and in the middle of the commission merchant. Central academy of distinguished professor gong of the "art broker" is defined as to art broker for their career, has found skills of the employees. At present domestic art dealer in general there are two kinds of sources, one from the auction industry, art dealer, two comes from academia, curator transformation.
After Lin Jing after 80, is a type. A few years ago, her participation in fuzhou created aimed to promote young artists hold yunshan room, in the planning including traditional painting and custom oil painting calligraphy printing, exhibition, a range of modern and contemporary painting, lacquer painting, from conception to the arrangement of the exhibition, promotion and commentary, hands-on, won the widespread influence in the industry and good reputation. Recently, she left yunshan room, trying to become the independent art dealer.
Lin Jing put their own independent plan "debut" three ChengGuoJi center TOWN ART, it is made by her creative fuzhou first office museum of ART. Earlier this year, she brought a to fuzhou, "send the world, the world cultural celebrities handwriting" exhibition, which brings together the Clara schumann, Richard strauss, kenzaburo oe, kawabata, romain rolland, dumas, zola 30 figures such as original manuscript. She said, want to through this exhibition, open for fuzhou cultural small window can see the different scenery.
Lin Jing think, become a qualified independent art dealer must have more than one side of comprehensive quality, to be familiar with the art history, appreciation of works of art have unique vision, also can find the most potential local artists, but also need to have a good personality and excellent diplomatic skills, in academia, industry, has extensive "expert", collectors and other spheres of connections. Like her transition from curator's agent, relatively short board is art trade operation experience is not enough, in the process of work need to work hard make up a missed lesson.
After the "surface" still need to overcome many obstacles
As a kind of new things, art agent, there are lots of obstacles in the development of China. First of all, due to domestic active collectors are mostly belongs to the collector "first generation", they are quite different with western collectors, is also not willing to or used to pay for the experience of others. Individual securities investors like developed countries often give the money to professional fund managers do, and don't like China there are so many "retail".
Second, the trust mechanism in the field of art has not yet been established, there are a lot of blank in the industry specification, professional procedures, professional ethics, contractual relationship, charge mode have not really established. Art dealer has not obtain similar to lawyers, accountants qualification approval.
In addition, the "circle" of the traditional Chinese society, in the art market is more outstanding, the buyer and the seller of the channels are concentrated in a closed circle. A young man graduated from colleges and universities entered the circle related if there is no special chance, it is hard to work in the art broker directly.
From back to the booming of Chinese contemporary art market is only decades, size run in front of the order of the market, but demand is always play a decisive role, believe that with the growing market and perfect, has "surfaced" art broker industry will be gradually moving towards maturity. The industry is not only the inheritance of cultural art circulation service, also shoulder the young artists, help them grow, and the Chinese excellent culture to the world's broad mission
