Art Collectors, in today's society is increasingly becoming boom. For the majority of collectors, the authenticity of who is in charge of Art? Some auction houses, art expert for identification issued by the company's certificate of authenticity can prove the authenticity of works of art? Identification of how to regulate the art industry?

In this year's Central Television, "315 party", the exposure of a number of auction companies, art appraisal company, in order to earn high appraisal fees, cheap and modern crafts, "identification" as there is a tremendous value to the collection of artifacts. After the broadcast, evoked a strong response in the industry. Some of the "Connoisseur" is removed from the relevant agencies.

"Certificate of authenticity" most credible

"There are many art auction houses and identification of most companies, there is no identification of qualified, qualified with a cultural art auction auction company did not carry out the operation of the identification of foreign business." Association theory in film publicity department deputy director Ouyang Shuying in interview with this reporter said, "The current cultural identification and national identification is divided into two major categories of civil identification. As National Heritage Commission to identify, only the National Palace Museum, Art Museum of China experts and other relevant state institutions, only for the artifacts within the system, judicial, customs and other agencies to identify it with cultural art professionally qualified, but the experts of these organizations do not identify the folk art. "Therefore, the civil behavior of the identification of more is non-spontaneous behavior, and identification of bodies in the identification of people eligible for the lack of legal norms.

Reporters recently visited a street in Beijing Liulichang found that "art appraisal" institutions everywhere, a false picture to get an "authority" to identify institutions to buy a "certificate of authenticity", worth can be turned 10 times. Panjiayuan antique market in Beijing, the second floor, many art stores claim to be issued "certificate of authenticity."

"The rise of the so-called experts in cultural identification, can be described as popular with the antique collection industry, closely linked to, listed a variety of names out of the identification center is engaged in years of heritage-related work, or often removed from the antique markets and antiques business people informed naturally become the backbone industry, art appraisal, art appraisal market darling. "Research Center of Tsinghua University Institute of cultural and creative industries high Runxiang told reporters.

"The real knowledgeable people never see the purchase of Art certificate of authenticity." Literary theory scholar Dr. Xu Wenjing told reporters, "but really knowledgeable collectors are few people blindly believe some of the identification certificate issued by the so-called masters, which is caused by works of art the reasons for the proliferation of certificate of authenticity. "

"Certificate of authenticity" art market risk

"Some professional organizations around the so-called experts on cultural issues in expert opinions, the majority of false identification, appraisal fee just to charge these people greatly hurt the credibility of professional organizations." Three paintings School Dean Tang Sheng told reporters, "I suffer fooled bought some identification certificates of Art, later found all false."

"This random identification certificate issued by the cause of the current art market, buyers and sellers trust each other." Dr. Xu Wenjing said, "Some have high artistic value to get the true picture can not freely traded on the market, because the picture is too fake more; really draw people not to buy on the market to buy, because many false certificate, which is also impede collection of Chinese art market is difficult to be recognized by a foreign cause. "

Ouyang Shuying that cultural authenticity is objective, and identification is subjective, so identification of failures is inevitable, and who has makes mistakes. Experts and scholars on a cultural identification results depends on three conditions: level, experience and ethics. If there is a moral flaw, just to make money and identification, the result is certainly not credible.

January 9, there is no qualification of the auction's Anhui sinks German culture art auction will be held in Shanghai, site of the "buyers" are almost always sellers, very few real buyers, the company hired to move even brand of "gunmen" were removed from the auction. The later survey, Anhui Huide means by providing false identification to commission the name of the auction, to lure the Friends of Tibet signed the commission contract, fraud collectors from across the country reached 116, involving over one thousand auction.

How to avoid risk?

Chinese Calligraphers Association director Liangyong Lin said: "In the face of Prosperous from the collection of hot, in the determination of true and false to be more calm on the issue, the phenomenon of false will be a long time, because there are three short period of time can not eliminate the contrast: strong market demand and quality The lack of formation of a strong contrast to the counterfeiters provides a handy; the cost of fraud between the low and high returns to form a strong contrast, those who dare to take risks to counterfeiters; limited the authority of the identification of agency personnel with extensive identification of the existence of a strong demand for contrast. The strange thing is, our social heritage and the paintings are generally more tolerant of fraud, while painting master Qi Gong tolerance for counterfeiters, but also pass to his brother's wife, fraud and sometimes even into elegance thing, while fraud may result in drain collectors, no one taken into account. "

The late 1920s, Chang's fake painting more paintings than he really famous. His painting was also not really excel in the art world regarded as a "nobody", but when he was in imitation of famous paintings, has already reached a pinnacle point. Since the Northern and Southern Dynasties on down to the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Korean representative of the generation of artists' works, fearless Chang have used fake it.

Chang's pastiche, deceived a number of experts. Chang's of course more than these fake paintings, has many cultural relics in the collection of domestic and overseas institutions, are also a collection of Chang's imitation of painting. Chang pastiche of the most famous paintings is his imitation of Shi Tao, its charm, expression, composition, characteristics, vivid, and authentic little difference, so that when the Shanghai, Peking and other places some of the artists have stumbled.

Therefore, Liangyong Lin said: "There is no value to the collection, not simply relying on simple true and false points. Sometimes, there are also some false value, such as Chang false picture to show their superb skills, these fake paintings are now also has some value while some do but little value, such as many in the cultural history, the history of painting and calligraphy works have no influence, indeed even its creators, even made a massive publicity, ultimately worthless. there is an urgent need to improve awareness of the risk society as a whole, do not know, do not get involved. the public's appreciation of their own needs to be improved. collectors have a pair of eye, in order to avoid risks. "

How to regulate the "identification of market"?

Mr. Tang Xiaosheng that in art there are no identified areas of legislation, or that there is no strong legal basis and the persons responsible for oversight mechanisms and serious punishment regulations. For example: nowadays some of the famous auction house, know that fake shot fake, fake auction painting, ceramics and other issues, the fact should be revoked once the formation of the qualifications of expert qualification, where the auction of the class to heavy fines, give strong economic interests sanctions. Otherwise, the cultural confusion in the art market will continue to go on.

How to regulate the industry for the identification of works of art, high Runxiang told reporters: "The state is necessary to introduce legal documents; expert for a signed, stamped, our money, we must assume corresponding responsibilities and secondly, to establish cultural art dealers system, standard-related behavior. "

The current art market is more civil identification field behavior. These actions are mainly identified through the market to achieve the selection and elimination, lack of appropriate cultural identification laws and regulations. Such as the identification of the nature and effectiveness of supervision and management system of identification, identification of legal responsibilities, identification procedures, expert qualifications and accreditation bodies to identify the rights and obligations, to avoid such a lack of identification of legal norms.

Rapid development in the art market today, with society and markets are needed in positions of authority "third party" the emergence of art identification system. The legal profession recommended the establishment of national identification system should include research institutions, cultural organizations, universities and other organizations and experts in the field of art, highly respected dean and the art market collection industry experts, professionals and scientific testing critics, relying on their professional wisdom, combined with advanced science and testing technology, the introduction of judicial notary and legal information services, a coalition of scientific and standardized art identification system.
