At the 5th CIIE, a number of "heavyweight" art masterpieces such as Qi Baishi's "Autumn Colors", Huang Binhong's "Fish in the Creek", Xu Beihong's "Cat Fun", Fu Baoshi's "Red Cliff Rafting", Wu Guanzhong's "Jiangnan Garden", Marc Chagall's "Paris Sky" and other "heavyweight" art works will be unveiled.
The cultural relics and artworks section set up at the fourth CIIE last year has become the most artistic, cultural and concerned exhibition area of the Expo.
Since 2022, the Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism (Shanghai Municipal Administration of Cultural Relics), with the strong support and specific guidance of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, has further built a "main channel" for multiple entities to participate in the transaction of cultural relics and artworks.
The 5th CIIE set up a cultural relics and artworks section in the consumer goods exhibition area. Up to now, a total of 12 overseas cultural relics and art management institutions from 5 countries and regions including the United Kingdom, the United States, and Hong Kong, including Christie's, Sotheby's, Fourys, etc., have confirmed their participation in the exhibition, with an exhibition area of nearly 2,500 square meters, 102 declared exhibits, with a total value of about 1.26 billion yuan, and 43 Chinese exhibits with a value of about 316 million yuan. This year's cultural relics and artworks section of the Expo will have a larger scale, more diversified exhibition varieties, higher quality, and the display effect will be more exciting.
