On July 4th, a special "Chinese Contemporary Jade Carving Masters Works" held by Xiqiao auction once again allowed collectors to witness the current status of the contemporary jade carvings. For a long time, contemporary jade carvings are partial art that is not recognized by most people. Even the words “contemporary†always make them irrelevant to the crafts. The whole market seems to be filled with a commercial atmosphere. Under the big pattern of the cultural industry, how should this category, which lasts for thousands of years, balance art and market, and be fair and persistent?
"appropriate door" that is difficult to be recognized
After years of changes, Chinese jade culture has entered the current jade era from the original jade era, the god jade era, the Wang jade era, and the folk jade era. Throughout the jade culture festival held in recent years and the China International Jewelry Fair in Beijing, contemporary jade carvings have shown a trend of blooming.
"Jade culture is the first cornerstone of the Chinese civilization. Jade is a precious thing of value and city since ancient times. It has both material and virtue. The Chinese are most obsessed with materials and objects, and think that it is the best choice for value-added preservation. The market fever also proves that the jade culture has returned to a new stage.†Du Pingyan, a senior ancient jade collector and director of the China Cultural Relics Association Collection and Appraisal Committee, in addition to the classical style of retro, some metal and jade carving, such as gold inlay The innovative works of jade are endless, artistic, and attracted the attention of the market.
From the perspective of historical development, jade carvings have experienced a glorious period, and there have been several occasions. The Chinese jade carving master, the national intangible cultural heritage project, the representative inheritor of the Haipai jade carving, said that the contemporary jade carving can not be compared with the predecessors in terms of subject matter, aesthetics, skin color and crafts, but it has reached a certain height. However, in a strict sense, the artistic level of contemporary jade carving needs to be improved. It lacks in the mainstream art works and is a partial art that is not recognized by most people.
In this regard, Sun Yong, a master of intangible heritage in Shanghai and a master of jade carving in Jiangsu Province, agreed that “after the reform and opening up, the jade carving industry is flourishing, but in fact the high artistic level is rare. Many people engaged in jade carving are not serious subjects. Born in, lacking understanding of the deep level of jade, the technique can only reach the level of work."
Generally speaking, the creator of jade carving pays attention to the combination of materials, work and art. The creators develop their thinking, use materials for their own purposes, and turn them into magic.
"The first thing that new jade plays is material, but jade is not a weapon, and jade material is no better. If there is no good work, it is no different from stone." Du Ping believes that materials, work and art are all in one, which is higher. The value of collection, and artistry is the highest standard for measuring the value of contemporary jade carving. The market is most valued now, but art appreciation is not something that everyone has. Yan Yiwei said that most of the current mechanics are more concerned about the value added, and the added value of art is neglected, and many people who play jade do not care about the essence of jade, but rather singularly singularly, one-sided pursuit of skin color.
Sun Yong said frankly that he generally designs according to the shape, characteristics and color of jade materials, and embeds the essence of traditional culture into jade carvings to show the connotation of the works.
It’s not awkward to go to the complex
There are many kinds of jade, which can be made into various kinds of pieces, small pieces of jewelry and larger objects. At present, the most popular ones are the accessories. In general, jade pieces that are easy to carry around are most popular among players, such as jade bracelets, bracelets, and pendants.
It is also crucial to distinguish the good and the bad from the numerous and messy works, and to pick out the jade carvings with the most favorite and collectible connotations.
“A jade carving works can make you feel good and happy, touch your heartstrings, and create a beautiful feeling. It is worth collecting. As for whether it has a relationship with you, the key is to look at your own aesthetics. There is no best jade carving, no world. The best jade, only the jade that is most suitable for you.†Du Ping said that in recent years, the most popular in the market are the works of master jade carving artists who have been awarded the Tiangong Award and the Shengong Award. It can be said that it is the only one.
Yan Yiwei said that contemporary jade carving is a special kind of arts and crafts. It is very important that the beauty produced after polishing and polishing is matched with the art itself. In addition, it is important to ensure that the author is original and guard against the shoddy things. The subject matter and content must also conform to the present. The artistic concept has a unique artistic language, the artist's own appearance and style.
Sun Yongzhe believes that the standard of judgment is very simple, as long as you understand the culture and artistic content of this work and whether it is carved by famous artists. “Master carving is the guarantee of quality. Now there are many small workshops on the market. They are as reproducible as licensed products, lacking ideas, culture and artistic expressions. It is difficult to have value.â€
In recent years, the price of jade materials has risen rapidly, which has also led to extremely precious raw materials. "If you create top-quality products, then the excessive value of the material will affect the cost price of the work itself, which will have a certain impact on the collection, and even the entire jade carving market."
"The precious jade material has already affected or even restricted the artistic creation of jade carving. No one dares to risk the precious materials to the ordinary jade carving master. The finest jade can only be restored by the famous hand." In addition to the mass goods, famous master works have always been leading the market.†Du Pingyan, if encountering the finest jade materials, the master will first consider the safety of the material of the jade material when making artistic creations, and the large area of ​​land reduction and hollowing out. The cockroaches, the knacks with the risk of scrapping will be reduced, and the skin, the sculpt, the pretty color, etc. are used flexibly, and it is the best choice to go to the simple and simple. In this way, objectively, it also affects the casual artistic innovation of jade carving.
Sun Yong divides jade carving works into pure works of art and goods. Artwork is a high-end product. At present, people are lacking in their cognition, and commodities are things that are popular, popular, and popular. They are circulating in the market. If the material is clean and beautiful, it is almost impossible to sculpt, and the price is very high. There is also a material that is dirty, cracked, unsightly, but rich in color. At this time, the artist generally reflects its value through craftsmanship, and although it Become a piece of art, but it is often marginalized.
Is it always spring when the flowers bloom?
On July 4th, the “Chinese Contemporary Jade Carving Master Works†held by Xiqiao Auction, the turnover was 34.693 million yuan. Prior to this, Xiqiao Auction has held several special events, and Beijing Bianshi and Beijing Poly also launched the “Hundreds of Fortunes--Contemporary Jade Carving Masters Works†in the spring of 2014. —— Poly Spring Auctions, Dexuan White Jade Special.†Judging from the above situation, several major auction companies in China have tried the contemporary jade carvings, and have also cooperated with jade carving related enterprises.
"The current jade carving market is very broad. There are both white spring snow and lower Liba people. The two are contradictory and symbiotic. This is not only the different pleasures of the collection, but also the development of the market." In the view of Yu Yiwei, although contemporary jade carving is not a mainstream art, However, it is an inevitable trend to enter the auction market, indicating that the rigid demand for the Chinese art market has always existed objectively.
However, although the auction company is gradually testing the water, on the whole, the energy invested in it is obviously not as good as painting and calligraphy, porcelain, etc. Some auction companies are only "single-handedly fighting", and people in the industry think that they are not particularly professional. The quality of the lot was uneven, creating a false prosperity. Yan Yiwei said that the current auction market and private transactions are seriously out of touch, and there is a deviation from each other. It is difficult to accurately reflect the truth of the price of jade carving products. However, a healthy art market, rational operation and correct guidance are gradually becoming prosperous and standardized. After the stage. Of course, excessive speculation is not enough, which also leaves a great room for development in the contemporary jade carving market, and really sinks its heart to carry forward this national quintessence.
"There are some chaos in the current jade carving auction market. Whoever can occupy the high place can control the situation. Therefore, the auction will not reflect the overall value of the contemporary jade carving." Sun Yong said.
Du Ping said frankly, "Hundreds of flowers are always spring, this is a normal phenomenon. After the market has gone through big waves, the market will eventually leave behind a unique institution to lead." In the past few years, the jade carving collection industry can be described as a great leap forward, in which the phenomenon of bribes is more common. The fine jade carvings are used as gifts. With the development of anti-corruption in the country, the market entered a consolidation period, and some merchants chose to leave. "This is a turbidity and clearing move. Long-term pain is better than short-term pain. Only when we return to know the origin of art, everyone recognizes the connotation and charm of jade culture. When jade carving is purchased, it is the spring of jade culture. That day."
Fair and benign operation
With the rapid development of the contemporary jade carving market, more capital began to pay attention and intervene. The original artistic atmosphere of the atmosphere gradually drifted away, but was concealed by the commercial atmosphere. "The development of any industry is inseparable from finance. Financial intervention in the jade carving market can better promote jade culture. A true jade carving artist will not be affected by capital. Instead, it will use capital for my use and transform it into better. Driving force." Du Ping made his own opinion. Sun Yong also said that this situation is indeed worrying, but when the bubble is squeezed out and the speculation is removed, the market will gradually return to rationality.
"An artist must have a mind for creation, don't carry the burden of history, let the public accept the current aesthetic, and inject fresh blood into the jade carving market. If you take into account the ideas of many markets, guide your ideas to how to make money quickly and get rich. On the other hand, it will drag down the creation.†翟 å« å« å¦ , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,
“The jade carving industry should have its own style to lead the market, rather than follow the trend. Looking at the jade carving market today, the same Guanyin, Buddha, pods... As the assembly line is copied, there is no artistry, and the precious jade is spoiled. It is a violent thing." Du Ping said that only by constantly strengthening their own cultural accomplishments, jade carving workers can better create spiritual works of art rather than uniform crafts.
Under the big pattern of cultural industry, the jade carving industry is divided into countless individuals as an industry. Sun Yong appeals to everyone to abide by the moral bottom line and professional ethics. As a creator, you should concentrate on your job and do not use the means of speculation to earn the interests of the business. Normal delivery is the protection of yourself and the players.
In Du Ping's view, the future jade carving market will be polarized, and the middle and low end will win by volume, while the top-end high-end and high-quality jade carvings will emerge in an endless stream, hitting new highs, and will lead the market as a benchmark.
