As a famous contemporary calligrapher and painter, Cultural Giant Fan Zeng, can be said to be known by everyone, no one knows, Fan Zeng's title is many, here is not introduced one by one, but as a famous Chinese auction company - Rong Baozhai is its long-term contracted calligrapher and painter, Rong Baozhai every year to Fan Zeng to hold several auctions of calligraphy and painting works, sometimes, Fan Zeng's calligraphy and painting works are also auctioned at a sky-high price, which has aroused great concern from the calligraphy and painting industry and other collectors, therefore, Fan Zeng's fame has also gradually become known to more people as the price of his works has increased.
Some people may feel that Fan Zeng's calligraphy and painting works are generally unaffordable, which is certain, because he is a top calligraphy and painting master in contemporary China, and he wants to buy his calligraphy and painting works unless you have enough money. So, how expensive are Fan Zeng's calligraphy works? In this way, if it is to write four words, he can use one minute to complete the writing, the total price of this work is 600,000 yuan, which is equivalent to 150,000 yuan for him to write a word, earning 600,000 yuan a minute, and it is also equivalent to the price of a house in a big city such as Beijing.
Some people may also analyze the value of Fan Zeng's calligraphy and painting works from a professional point of view, and some people may feel that Fan Zeng's calligraphy is not calligraphy in the true sense, but a free body, because it has no ancient law, and the words written are light and slippery, have no bone strength, and have no sense of life. There may also be people who think that Fan Zeng used his popularity to exaggerate the essential meaning of calligraphy, changing many people's views on calligraphy, and people often use prices to compare when measuring the level of calligraphy, thinking that the higher the price, the higher the level, and the high price of Fan Zeng's calligraphy works means that the higher his calligraphy level, which is really undeserved.
Here's a little more, what is the level of calligraphy? It refers to the form of work that emanates from the spirit of calligraphy with considerable technical level and artistic conception. As far as the level of technique is concerned, it is based on the calligraphy of the ancients, and there is an in-depth level of copying and research of ancient classic works. From Fan Zeng's calligraphy works, it is difficult to see which ancient man he studied, and what brushwork and glyph level he obtained. As some people say, his dot painting horizontal painting is very thin, but it lacks bone strength, unlike the Tang Dynasty calligrapher Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy, which is also a very fine horizontal painting, but people's fine paintings have an inner force like a tightrope, and Fan Zeng does not have this force.
So, since the price of Fan Zeng's calligraphy and painting works is so expensive, and the number of works published is so large, who bought his works? Here's some analysis:
Big collectors who rushed to fame bought his work. These collectors are generally very rich institutions or individuals, although they are not professional researchers of calligraphy and painting, but because of the market situation, they all go to the fame of a person's calligrapher and painter, and buy and collect the works of these famous calligraphy and painting artists, which can be used to make money at a certain time. Therefore, some collectors who generally do not have a large amount of funds are difficult to nibble on the works of these famous artists, for example, Fan Zeng's paintings are more expensive, often millions of paintings, who can afford it, only those big collectors.
There are also some people who do big business and love calligraphy and painting. Big business refers to the annual income of hundreds of millions of yuan, these people are doing big business, then, they are paying attention to the "façade", this "façade" does not refer to the company's door, but refers to the company's face, into the office to see, hanging whose calligraphy and paintings, if it is a celebrity, is a big celebrity, the company's "façade" is large enough, they are not short of money, only pay attention to face, so Fan Zeng is also a big celebrity, his calligraphy and painting works can support this "façade".
Some people think that Fan Zeng has many friends, and there are many people who collect his calligraphy and paintings, in fact, this may not be true, and we cannot be one-size-fits-all, not that there are no people who buy his calligraphy and paintings among his friends, that is only some people. And the people who really want to buy Fan Zeng's calligraphy and paintings are actually people who need them, some as business gifts, and some people use FanZeng's calligraphy and paintings as congratulatory gifts to give to people who need them, of course, most of them are some business cooperation needs, not that rich people send celebrity calligraphy and paintings to anyone, it is impossible.
