Celebrities love to play and collect, which has become the main consumer group in the art market
In recent years, art, especially high-end art, has set new highs in both domestic and international markets. People can't help but wonder, behind the booming art market, what group is collecting these artworks?
Recently, a media survey found that in addition to real estate owners and overseas investors, the celebrity group has become an important force in the collection of Chinese art. According to insiders, art has become another investment hotspot for entertainment stars after investing in real estate, stocks, catering and entertainment industries. It is said that many celebrities and artists are good friends themselves, so it is not strange for them to collectively enter the art field.
In the recent art auction, Poly Auction not only set two records for a sky high price of 100 million yuan, but also attracted many celebrity celebrities to participate, with the notable being the director Feng Xiaogang. He sat in the front row, carefully flipping through the catalog and taking notes. In the end, Director Feng spent several million yuan to buy Yang Feiyun's works.
Wang Zhongjun is known as the CEO of Huayi Brothers, and his favorite title is "businessman+artist". Oil paintings, sculptures, and antiques are his favorite collections. His oil painting collection mainly focuses on contemporary masters such as Ai Xuan, Yang Feiyun, Wang Yidong, and Yuan Zhengyang, as well as runners in the Chinese oil painting market. In the past decade or so since Wang Zhongjun began collecting oil paintings, the prices of oil paintings have skyrocketed. For example, Yang Feiyun's paintings were purchased for 20000, 40000, or 60000 yuan, but over the course of five to six years, the prices have increased by more than 100 times. This can estimate Wang Zhongjun's investment return
Wang Gang once confidently said that he is a good host in the collection industry and a good collector among the hosts. Wang Gang's collection of antiques is both a hobby and an investment, so for him, visiting the Panjiayuan street stall in Beijing and visiting antique shops are not contradictory. You can bargain on the street stall, regardless of your status, and spend money for your interests. Even if you pay tuition fees, you don't feel at a loss. From collecting bird cages in the early days to collecting a large number of porcelain nowadays, Wang Gang said that collecting is a beautiful thing in the world. "You can play and appreciate it every day, and at the same time, it can also preserve and appreciate value. If you are not careful, it can even make you rich.".
