Features of a Strong Chinese Art Collection
Building up a strong art collection demands expertise, professional training, and knowledge of the market. Hiring a qualified professional to document your art collection is necessary. A high-quality strong Chinese art collection should possess the following features:
- Consists of works by well-established artists, ancient or contemporary. The value of your art collection depends largely on how well-known your artists are.
- Holds the best works of your desired artists. The value of an art object is not necessarily guaranteed by the identity of the signed artist; rather the quality of the work signed by the artist.
- Focuses on a theme or themes. An art collection with a carefully defined theme or set of themes entails maximum value.
- Displays an appreciation for master artists of the past, either their signed works or the best-quality copies of their masterpieces by famous artists of later generations. Works signed by famous artists of the Song and Yuan dynasties (10th -14th century) or masterpieces of Ming and Qing dynasty (1368-1911) artists are most desirable.
