The result is absolutely inspiriting. After one year’s adjustment, the art market of China showed a brilliant prospect in this spring. 1, “if there is no seat, I will sit on the ground”More people attended the preview of the exhibition than last year and looked at the paintings clearly. This is the same with other previews in different places in Beijing. The buyers who came into the bidding house late can not find seats, they sat on the ground as a unique view. The situation indicates that people raised their attentions to the art market and after the period of survival of the finest, it is inevitable that the buyer restore the confidence of art market.2, “I like many artworks, but I can’t get one of them as fast as others”This is what a lady said to her friends regretfully after the auction. This happened among the whole auction. So in the auction house, it is not only the competition between buyer’s taste and financial strength, but also between the mental quality and bidding skill. 3 “return to the original sense, avoid ‘launce satellite’”These words always come from Liu Shangyong, the vice president of Chinese painting department. “Return to the original sense” means searching for the real fittest sense of collection to satisfy the need of collectors, but not go after the complex process just as “launce satellite” to stimulate the market. 4, Rainbow Always appears after the rainFrom the fall of 2005 to now, the art market is undergoing the period of adjustment, which is the most concern of collectors. And now, the fact proved that after “discard the dross and select the essential” and “eliminate the false and retain the true”, such nonstandard auction organizations, auction participates and artworks would be removed, remained the competitive ones in the art market. So we sincerely believe that the next spring auction held by HK Sotheby will not let us disappoint.
