Ceramic collection is a collection with a broad mass base, and the cultural background of ceramics is also mysterious. Just because ceramics are so popular in the porcelain market, many black merchants have been able to sell high imitation ceramics from ordinary ceramic manufacturers to the high price of real ceramics. We all know that porcelain collection is a very deep knowledge, but when a horse stumbles and a man stumbles, it is inevitable that he will be misled by some external factors. So Zhengde ceramics experts remind you that when collecting contemporary art ceramics, you should pay attention to the following "four Taboos".

        First, it is forbidden to set the market price of contemporary art ceramics based on the level of the title of the author, which is the general "rule" of the current ceramic industry. However, the titles and honorary titles of contemporary ceramic artists are complex. The titles and masters are divided into municipal and provincial ones. The corresponding works will have different prices, and the price difference will be several times, even a dozen times.

        If the collectors simply think that the art level of those with high titles is high, and the technology level of those with low titles is low, it is necessary to generalize. Experts warn new collectors that the title (honorary title) is just a "ticket", just like the university graduation certificate, the key is to let the works speak, some "masters" have no real name, just like the works; some have no title, but the works are novel and beautiful. Collectors must not let titles cover their eyes.

        Second, the auction price is regarded as the purchase price. The contemporary art ceramics auction is the barometer of the art ceramics market. The auction transaction record can reflect the activity of the contemporary art ceramics market to a certain extent. In 2005, China's master of Arts and crafts Zhang Songmao's pastel "Sangumaolu" porcelain plate painting was shot for 1.5 million yuan; in 2008, China's master of Arts and crafts Li Jusheng's "no words to watch chess" inlay was shot for 1.9 million yuan; in 2009, Li Jusheng's "shuolung" high temperature color glaze inlay was shot for 1.456 million yuan. These are enough to show the collection heat of contemporary art ceramics. However, the forming climate of China's contemporary art and ceramics auction is still a matter of recent years. The forming time is not long, and there are many places to be improved and standardized. As far as the auction price is concerned, there is also a certain amount of water. Fake auction, speculation, self sale and self purchase are frequently seen in newspapers.

         Therefore, fans of contemporary art and ceramics collection should not trust the transaction records of the auction. For collectors, the auction price can only be a market reference price, not a basis and price standard for their own purchase of contemporary ceramics, and can not be used to control their own collection trends and ideas.

        Three taboos ignore risk and borrow money to purchase. Last year, some experts made investment return statistics on the three popular investment projects of financial securities, real estate and art in the United States. The results show that the annual return rate of financial securities is 8%, the annual return rate of real estate is 12%, and the annual return rate of art investment actually reaches 25%. "Of course, this is only the current situation of the mature market in the United States. For China's contemporary ceramic market, which is still in its infancy, it is still immature, and the rate of return is even more unlimited." "According to the analysis of auction market in recent years, the return rate of Chinese art is as high as 200%," said one collector

        It is just seeing the broad prospect of investment and collection of art ceramics that some enthusiasts swarmed in. Some people also borrowed money from relatives and friends, even mortgaged real estate, and entered the art ceramics market blindly. This kind of behavior has great hidden dangers.

        High returns are often accompanied by high risks. Contemporary art ceramics have the characteristics of high return, but also have the risk of not easy to realize, rigid fragile and so on. If you borrow money or mortgage real estate, if there is something urgent at home and you need cash, you may fail to realize it in time like stocks, or you may suffer huge losses due to high price and low price.

        At present, many contemporary ceramic collectors lack of collection experience and appreciation ability. In addition, the market information is not smart. They often "grasp the eyebrows and beard at a time" and "catch the basket with vegetables". Put the works of municipal, provincial and national senior artists into the bag. Tomorrow, I want to buy the works of municipal and provincial masters. I have collected a porcelain plate painting, and tomorrow I want to buy a porcelain bottle There are many examples.
