Chinese fine art feels the pinch

By Lin Qi ( China Daily ) Updated: 2013-03-29 07:45:52

The Chinese fine art market has run out of steam after three years of phenomenal growth, with sales at auction plummeting sharply in 2012.

Even so, it still accounts for 41 percent of the global fine art auction in terms of turnover, ahead of the United States and United Kingdom, according to Artprice.com's latest report.

For the first time, the French art market watchdog released its 2012 art market review in conjunction with the Beijing-based Art Market Monitor of Artron, which monitors the Chinese art market.

The report examines the performance of both Western and Chinese fine art in sale rooms. It excludes ceramics, other antiques and furniture, and calculates hammer prices before such fees as the buyer's premium.

Chinese fine art realized just over $5 billion in sales last year, a decrease of more than 44 percent on 2011, while other categories - such as ceramics and other antiques - witnessed an increased market share.

Both the number of lots on offer, and those sold at auction, dropped, and the bought-in rate surged to 53.9 percent, an increase of 8 percentage points on 2008. Meanwhile, the Western market registered 37 percent for unsold lots.

In the Chinese market, six lots passed the threshold of $10 million, which was less than one-third of the number in 2011. The market suffered a shortage of high-priced auction items, while Chinese paintings and calligraphy in particular attracted medium- and low-end prices.

From a wider perspective, China has for the first time in three years lost its leading position in the international marketplace to the US, says The European Fine Art Foundation in its annual report.

In a global reshuffle of art sales, China secured a market share of 25 percent, dropping from 30 percent in 2011. The US regained the premier position with a 33 percent share.
