No one can deny that the difficulty of collecting lots from cultural relics and artwork auction companies and the difficulty of sending them to auction by cultural relics and artwork holders has become a real problem in the current cultural relics and artwork market, although we may want to avoid it, but this problem will not be easily solved.
In the face of this real challenge, all parties need to adjust their mindsets and come up with practical solutions.
Perhaps auction houses and art owners can try to put themselves in their shoes. As an art owner, you should understand that there is no point in just complaining about the difficulty of sending the auction. As profit-making organizations, auction companies have full autonomy to decide on the direction, mode and positioning of their business under the regulation of the Auction Law.
As long as they are not breaking the law, it is not illegal for them to refuse to accept your goods or choose items that are not conducive to their business.
After all, the auction industry doesn't owe you anything, and they're not obligated to take risks for you. If you were running your own auction company or other business, you'd probably make a similar choice.
Also, even though they don't receive your items, they don't cause you any financial loss either. So, who was harmed? Seemingly, no.
In this process, art holders may also reflect on it, and perhaps this is a question worth considering. You might as well try to think from the other person's point of view, and you may have a different harvest.
There is also something to reflect on in the auction industry, those auction companies that ask you to pay first, and then only show the auction process, are the ones who infringe on your rights.
On the contrary, the rise of antiquities and art collecting in recent decades has led to the development of auction companies from the initial struggle for a livelihood to the increasingly prosperous situation in recent years, which is obviously a good thing.
However, as far as the industry as a whole is concerned, it is also very dangerous to blindly chase profits, focus only on large transactions, and ignore or abandon the collection and promotion of folk treasures. Needless to say, several large auction companies already have their own one-third of an acre of land, and their games have long exceeded the original auction scope.
But what about auction companies in general? Trying to reach out to big collectors and artists for treasures may not get much benefit, because after all, you don't have the performance and means of the top auction companies.
So why chase the high profile of those top auction houses? The real last word lies in the success of the ** collection, and the façade and form are not as important as the actual transaction.
Taking the people-friendly route and carrying out dislocation management may be the best choice for most auction companies. Folk treasures are likely to remain the main subject of auctions.
Why is it so obsessed with fighting fakes? Why spend so much energy and time on the auction of private collectibles? There must be a deeper reason for this. Perhaps it is because people are eager to find a glimmer of inspiration and solace in these ancient artifacts; Or maybe it's because they have a love of history and an obsession with the truth.
Whatever the reason, we might as well feel the simple emotions of people from these collections, and explore the stories and values behind them. Perhaps behind those seemingly ordinary cultural relics, there are moving legends hidden that are worth digging deep and exploring.
In this era of information, despite facing many doubts and difficulties, as long as you stick to your original intention and believe in the power of truth, goodness and beauty, you may be able to find a path of your own.
