- When it comes to appraisals, you have to give an estimate for each item in the end.
Zhou Xia has no impression of the various previous auction records of Zhang Ruitu's works, but those things can only be used as reference prices. If you go to the antique market, at least, you can get a 30% discount first.
Judging from the popularity of Zhang Ruitu, the size of this work, and the number of words, Zhou Xia estimated that more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan would not be able to escape.
The key is to see whether the buyer really likes his calligraphy. If he really likes it, it is not uncommon for him to pay a premium of tens of thousands of yuan.
Zhou Xia quite likes the content of this cursive script, but the "Qiyi" style, which is so cursive that even he doesn't recognize it, is not the type he likes. If Zhou Xia buys it himself, he will give you a discount price of 150,000 yuan.
As for whether Xu Yaohui thinks highly of it and how much he is willing to pay, that is another matter. Zhou Xia only needs to convey his own appraisal results to him.
Zhou Xia also took this rare opportunity to summarize the characteristics and style of Zhang Ruitu's calligraphy, so that he would not be at a loss when encountering his works in the future.
You must know that there are not many opportunities to encounter a genuine product like this. If the price cannot be negotiated and you don't buy it, you may not encounter another opportunity in the future, so you must seize it.
Fortunately, Zhou Xia's memory is much stronger now than in the past. The things he has read are like being stored in a database. When needed in the future, he can just call them out for comparison. That's what appraisals are like. To a large extent, it's a competition to see who has the most inventory in the database in their mind.
Then. Zhou Xiacai turned to another calligraphy work.
This is also a piece of cursive writing.
Like Zhang Ruitu¡¯s previous cursive calligraphy, this work also gave Zhou Xia the urge to kill him with tofu.
At first glance, it¡¯s really hard to figure out what the hell it is written on.
"Zhang Ruitu ghostly draws peach charms. What the hell is Xing Dong doing? Or maybe it's because his appreciation level is too low. It seems that in the future, he should appreciate more cursive calligraphy by various famous artists." Zhou Xia secretly complained in his heart.
No matter what, this appraisal must still be done.
Zhou Xia didn¡¯t care about what he wrote at the moment and made an appraisal of the paper and ink first, which was beyond his expectation. The paper and ink expression of this work is similar to the previous work of Zhang Rui's Peach Blossom Spring. They are exactly the same, they are all very old things with the flavor of the times.
Two genuine items?
This is unscientific!
Is Wang Mingzheng really the conscience of the industry?
Zhou Xia suddenly became interested. He wanted to see if it was his eyesight that was wrong. Wang Mingzheng still has a clear conscience and is willing to take the real thing instead of those high-quality imitations to deceive people.
Although cursive writing is not easy to identify, you have to bite the bullet and get it appraised! If Su Xiaoru asks later, senior brother, what is written on this! If you can't answer it. How embarrassing would that be?
Zhou Xia just calmed down and studied seriously.
He spent a lot of effort and combined the context to figure it out. What is the content of Xing Dong's cursive script?
"I have a rough foot in front of the east to create a beautiful view. I have been cherished by Yimin for a long time, how can I wait to come here again? It's like a voice in a dream! I have no chance to talk about it. It's a sigh, how can I read it in a book."
Fortunately, Zhou Xia's attainments in ancient Chinese are barely passable. I really can¡¯t recognize students who are not good at classical Chinese. Even if he recognized it, he would still be confused as to how to explain it in a sentence.
Zhou Xia was able to figure out another reason. The content of this calligraphy copy was quite famous in the calligraphy circle.
Xing Dong copied Wang Xizhi's "Yi Min Tie", which tells that Wang Xizhi persuaded him to become an official because of a letter from a friend. His reply was said to be that he was quite a common man and was unwilling to become an official.
The content of this Yimin post can be roughly translated as, "Last time I traveled eastward, I briefly saw the beautiful mountains and rivers at that time. I have wanted to live in seclusion and become a Yimin for a long time. Why did you mention the matter (of becoming an official again) again? It's simply It¡¯s like talking in a dream! I didn¡¯t have the chance to meet him, so I lamented that I couldn¡¯t fully express my feelings in the letter.¡±
Wang Xizhi's calligraphy is highly praised by the world, and countless people have copied it. It can be said that in calligraphy, most people spend their whole life copying, and only a few people can break out of the limitations of their predecessors and create their own new pattern.
Zhou Xia is also deeply aware that one of his own weaknesses is his poor foundation in French works.
"If someone who has practiced calligraphy since childhood, such as Xu Yaohui, or even his daughter Xu Liuxin, could tell at a glance what the content of this work is. Why, because they oftenCopying Wang Xizhi's copybooks, his understanding of this must be much better than Zhou Xia's.
But Zhou Xia is not upset, because he cannot decide his origin, nor can he change the past. In the future, he may still not have time to practice calligraphy. But this does not prevent him from appreciating such works with his heart. He believes that as long as he is diligent in thinking and continues to accumulate experience, he will one day become a true appraisal master.
Now, complaining is useless, all he needs to do is to use the system to first identify the authenticity of this Xing Dong calligraphy work.
If it is true, study it carefully and use works like this in the future as a standard for identifying Xing Dong's calligraphy. If it's not authentic, you can roughly guess how it differs from the original.
Of course, the system is not omnipotent. At this time, the system still only gives the creation year of this work.
"This work was created in 1654 AD."
After getting the appraisal result from the system, no matter how stupid Zhou Xia is, he can still know that this work is not the original work of Xing Tong.
In 1654 AD, the Ming Dynasty had been destroyed for ten years.
As one of the four great calligraphers of the Ming Dynasty, Xing Tong has been dead for more than 40 years. It would be really crazy if this work is his original work!
This can also be a good explanation for why the performance of paper and ink when Zhou Xia did the appraisal was similar to that of Zhang Ruitu.
This is an imitation from the early Qing Dynasty, more than 350 years ago, so it will naturally leave some traces of time.
During the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, as well as during the period when Xing Tong was alive, there were probably many imitations of him on the market. At any rate, he was a relatively famous calligrapher and painter in the Ming Dynasty. It was profitable to make his imitations. As for other Legalists of his generation, they were inevitably faked by others, such as Tang Bohu, Wen Zhengming, Zhu Zhishan, Dong Qichang, etc. Once they became famous, a large number of imitations of their works would be produced at that time. This situation, How similar to the current art market.
Zhou Xia was thinking that the chaos in the contemporary art market actually has profound historical and cultural traditions.
The imitations at that time were mainly concentrated in the prosperous Suzhou. A large number of calligraphy and painting practitioners took the form of workshops and divided labor and cooperated in line drawing, rendering, coloring, calligraphy, inscriptions, engravings, mounting, and assembly operations. Do your best to produce a large number of imitations of famous artists. Such imitations are generally called "Suzhou films". Many imitations have been circulated to this day and can often be seen at major auctions. There are also many such works in museums.
In addition, Kaifeng, Henan, is also home to a large number of counterfeiters. Most of them forge calligraphy works, which they call "Kaifeng goods."
Zhou Xia is still unclear whether this is a Suzhou film or a Kaifeng product, but he is certain of one thing. This painting of Xing Dong's "Yi Min Tie" by Wang Xizhi is definitely an old imitation.
After all, it is an old thing that has a history of hundreds of years and has a certain value, but compared with the original, the gap in terms of value and price is still quite big. If you buy such imitations at the price of the genuine ones, it would still be a big loss.
Therefore, Zhou Xia is also wondering whether these modern high imitations will enjoy the same treatment as old imitations after hundreds of years.
Thinking about the past and the present, he could also imagine that the imitation markets in Suzhou and Kaifeng were in full swing at that time.
Now that he has determined that this work is an old imitation, Zhou Xia took a second look, mainly to remember clearly the content of the cursive "Yi Min Tie" on it, so that he can react immediately when he encounters a similar copy next time. As for struggling to figure out what it is that is written.
There are countless people who have copied Wang Xizhi's works, and Zhou Xia has no way of researching who the real author of this work is. If the system can be upgraded to give a detailed explanation, Zhou Xia would very much welcome it, which would save him a lot of effort.
"It's a pity that now, the upgrade is still far away, and Zhou Xia can only move forward through continuous learning."
Zhou Xia¡¯s appraisal speed, although he himself felt it was very slow, looked to others as extremely fast.
With nothing to do, Wang Mingzheng, who has been paying attention to them all, needless to say, he feels that Zhou Xia's appraisal is like just watching a horse,
Especially when it is necessary to analyze the work from the aspects of brushwork, ink technique, structure, shape, etc., it seems very frivolous and it feels like the conclusion is drawn quickly. No, after he had already appraised the two paintings, Xu Yaohui and Su Xiaoru were able to thoroughly study their respective first paintings and draw preliminary conclusions. Wang Mingzheng felt that the most likely possibility was that Zhou Xia did not have enough stock in his belly and was unable to do the appraisal, so he seemed?Don't be fast.
Of course, these two works themselves are not common. It is quite good for ordinary people to have heard of their names, let alone have a detailed and in-depth understanding of their life and works.
Wang Mingzheng has not seen him use his mobile phone to check information. Presumably, he should at least know the names of Zhang Ruitu and Xing Dong, two of the four major calligraphers of the Ming Dynasty.
"Senior brother, you have finished appraising the two paintings over there! It's really amazing. I haven't come to a conclusion yet!" When Zhou Xia went over to join in the fun at Su Xiaoru's place, she asked him the same question.
Zhou Xia smiled and said, "It's not like who is faster in doing appraisals. We are both pretty much the same now. Don't think about the pros and cons, just have a learning attitude."
Su Xiaoru nodded and sighed, "Their handwriting is really beautiful. I can't even use my little handwriting."
Zhou Xia couldn't complain, so he was the same. Anyway, these works, even if they are imitations, are countless times better than his. This may be a regret that he can never make up for. . . )
