As a collector of antique art, it is possible that you have not auctioned the collection at Sotheby's, but you must have heard of Sotheby's. As the world's oldest antique art auction company, Sotheby's has a status that no other auction house can surpass. In particular, the antique artworks auctioned are all over the world, and the antique artworks owned by its company cover different art fields, which can meet the discerning eyes of different collectors. Sotheby's has always attracted the attention of countless collectors for hundreds of years with its rich art variety and rare antique varieties.

For the legend of Sotheby's auction house, the majority of collectors should also have heard about it, and the editor will not repeat it here. Today, I would like to focus on answering the question raised by a Tibetan friend.

A few days ago, a Tibetan friend consulted a small editor asked: "Who are the sky-high art works sold by Sotheby's Auction House, do they really like it or invest in speculation?" Such a question, Xiaobian also saw this question, read a lot of information, and consulted a lot of experts, as well as has participated in the auction of sotheby's auction house collection, got the following answers, let's take a look at it.

First, let's solve the first question: To whom did Sotheby's sell the sky-high art sold? Simply put, it is auctioned off to those who have a certain economic strength and those who know how to appreciate and collect art

。 These three necessary conditions are indispensable. Why? The reason for this is that only those who must meet these three conditions at the same time can truly understand the beauty of art and achieve an emotional resonance with their creators. Although we often say that art is priceless, if you don't use money to measure and buy art, who can find the value of art?

So do collectors of these antique works of art really like it or do they really like it for investment hype? In fact, to deal with this issue, we need to discuss it on a case-by-case basis. Among the millions of antique art collectors, of course, there are people who have come to step into the antique circle because of their own preferences. Then there must be collectors who enter the antique market for investment, and we cannot say whether it is right or wrong, but only that the starting point and point of view of their collection are different.

Here, what Xiaobian wants to say is that although there is a certain appreciation space for most antique works of art, whether it is used for personal collection or for investment products, it is very bad. However, as collectors, we must keep in mind the positioning of the market price of the artwork, and ultimately return to the artwork itself.

If it is a very secondary antique art in itself, but its market price is speculated to the point of being looked back, then this must be an extremely abnormal phenomenon, and the receiver of this phenomenon is still us as collectors.

Finally, Xiaobian still wants to remind the majority of collectors of antique artworks that in the process of collecting, they must be rational and cautious, and must not be on a whim, and it is too late to regret it.
