Letter from the China Association of Auctioneers (CAA) President

The China Association of Auctioneers (CAA) is excited

to partner with artnet on the creation of this report

detailing the global auction market for Chinese Art and

Antiques. Working together, we can present a more

comprehensive annual report and a better analysis of

both the mainland Chinese and international auction

industry.

The official collaboration between CAA and artnet

was initiated in the spring of 2013. Combining each

organization’s unique strengths and position within

the market, we hope to create a stronger platform for

promoting discussion about the global auction market

for Chinese Art and Antiques. Our collaboration will

be carried out in various stages, the first of which is

presented here in the Global Chinese Antiques

and Art Auction Market Annual Statistical Report: 2012.

During the last decade, the flourishing art and antiques

auction market in mainland China has led to a shift in

the distribution of power in the global auction market.

In 2011, the Chinese auction market became the world

leader in terms of sales value, making it an international

center for the buying and selling of art. Meanwhile,

the international market for Chinese Art and Antiques

became increasingly active.

To ensure the comprehensiveness and integrity of the

information in this report, artnet has compiled and

analyzed overseas data, and CAA has strictly verified all

data from mainland China to ensure that it is objective

and reliable. This report will provide researchers and

related organizations from China and overseas with

industry data that most closely reflects market reality.

Through this report, we hope to promote the healthy

development of the global auction market.

In the upcoming year, CAA and artnet will launch

additional collaborations, including an international

forum, delving deeper into the global market for Chinese

Art and Antiques. We look forward to continuing this

relationship and providing greater insight into these

markets. We thank you for your support!

About the China Association of Auctioneers (CAA)The China Association of Auctioneers (CAA) is the only

national association of the auction industry in China.

Its functions include auctioneers administration, and

auction house regulation and supervision, as outlined

in the Auction Law of the People’s Republic of China,

as well as business promotion, policy coordination,

information services, and consulting.

Established in 1995, CAA has been the most important

platform in the world for establishing connections

within the Chinese auction industry, making every effort

to promote the development of the Chinese auction

industry and market. Revitalized in 1986, and lead by

CAA, the Chinese auction industry has entered a new

era.

In 1996, the Auction Law of the People’s Republic of

China took effect after several years’ effort by CAA. As

the first auction law in China, it laid a solid foundation

for the standardized development of Chinese auctions.

In 1997, CAA certified the first national auctioneers.

Currently, 11,040 national auctioneers have been trained

and certified, and serve as the backbone of the industry.

In 2005, CAA total membership reached 1,000 for the

first time. Today, we have more than 2,400 members,

including all of the most well-known and prestigious

Chinese auction houses.

In 2010, the Ministry of Commerce of the People’s

Republic of China issued the Standard for Auction of

Cultural Relics and Art Works. This Standard, drafted

by CAA, marked the beginning of the standardized

development of Chinese auctions. Currently, the Chinese

auction industry is regulated by one national standard

and five industry codes of practice.

Today, as the Chinese auction industry grows

internationally, CAA is playing a leading role in building

a platform for communication with international trade

associations, auction houses, academic institutions, and

various other organizations.

CAA looks forward to working with these fellow

organizations to promote a better integration and

development of the global auction market.

Letter from the artnet CEO

artnet is pleased to present a new report on the 2012

global Chinese Art and Antiques auction market,

produced in collaboration with the China Association of

Auctioneers (CAA).

In recent years, China has held an increasingly

prominent position in the international art market.

Chinese collectors have looked westward to build their

collections, and international organizations are looking

to expand into China, where collectors have significant

purchasing power and a longstanding history of buying

art and antiques.

The art market has witnessed rapid growth, and is a

much more international scene than it was a decade

ago. We hope that our partnership with CAA will help to

initiate cross-cultural dialogue on the Chinese market by

engaging a variety of international industry professionals

to address issues faced by business practitioners

operating within the Chinese market.

Working with CAA to provide data analysis, artnet hopes

to bring a new level of transparency to the Chinese

market. Our Price Database has long been esteemed

by art professionals as the most comprehensive

and trusted resource on auction data; through this

collaboration, we have augmented our existing auction

data with auction results from mainland China analyzed

by CAA.

We look forward to expanding this partnership over

the next year, providing additional platforms to discuss

emerging trends in the market.

About artnetartnet is the leading place to buy, sell, and research

Fine Art, Design, and Decorative Art online.

artnet was founded in 1989 with the goal of bringing

transparency to the art world. In the past, the lack of

objective price information was a stumbling block, for

buyers in particular, that prohibited the market from

growing.

The art business has always been international;

however, before artnet, it was managed locally in

relatively inefficient markets by tens of thousands of

geographically disparate art dealers, galleries, auction

houses, book publishers, museums, and collectors.

For 25 years, artnet has worked to transform the

market. We provide a range of services to connect

buyers and sellers online and have a suite of valuation

tools to make market information instantly accessible.

The artnet Price Database provides these local

markets with a global standard of price comparison.

The database includes over 7 million auction results

compiled from more than 1,400 international auction

houses dating back to 1985.

Another pillar of the artnet business is artnet Galleries,

which was introduced in 1995. As the largest network

of its kind, this product features 1,700 galleries,

and approximately 170,000 works of art by nearly

35,000 artists. artnet Galleries offers the world’s most

comprehensive overview of artworks available for

purchase.

In 1999, artnet went public in Germany. Since 2007,

artnet has been listed in the Prime Standard of the

Frankfurt Stock Exchange, the segment with the highest

transparency standards.

In 2008, artnet pioneered the first online auctions

platform exclusively for Fine Art, artnet Auctions. With

artnet Auctions, collectors can both buy and sell art

24/7, with instant turnaround and lower commissions.

Launched in the spring of 2012, artnet Analytics Reports

already cover over 840 Modern and Contemporary

artists. This product allows users to benchmark the

market performance of artists, art categories, and

customized sets of artworks against financial indices,

such as the S&P 500 and Dow Jones, or other assets,

such as gold.

Today, artnet is the undisputed leader of the art world

online. As the art world continues to evolve and expand,

artnet intends to maintain its leadership role and help

connect millions more people around the world who love

and appreciate art.

1.2 Market Scale

Global Market Overview

In 2012, the global market for Chinese Art and Antiques struggled to reach 2011 levels, shrinking 37% by value

sold to US$6.9 billion (CN¥45.4 billion). This figure is in sharp contrast to the US$10.6 billion (CN¥72 billion)

realized in 2011. Additionally, this global decline was exacerbated by the contracting market in mainland China.

In 2012, the market in China was roughly half the size it was in 2011 in terms of value sold. Conversely, the

overseas market saw growth of 2%.

In 2012, the market in China was roughly half the size it was in 2011 in terms of value sold. Conversely, the overseas market saw

growth of 2%.

Mainland China

In 2012, a total of 788 auctions occurred at houses specializing in Chinese Art and Antiques. These sales can be

broken down into 1,755 individual sessions with over 560,000 lots offered; of the lots offered, over 265,000 lots

were sold. This represents a sell-through rate just shy of 50%, resulting in a total sales value of US$4.39 billion

(CN¥28.8 billion). The overall commission earned by these sales was roughly US$570 million (CN¥3.7 billion).

With only half of the works offered at auction actually selling, the Chinese art market witnessed a decrease in

demand in 2012. As a result, the total sales value dropped by US$4 billion (CN¥26.5 billion), a significant decline

Overseas

In 2012, the total sales value of Chinese Art sold outside of mainland China was US$2.52 billion (CN¥16.6

billion), representing an incremental percentage increase over the previous year. This additional revenue brought

the global industry total to US$6.9 billion (CN¥45.4 billion). Overall, this represents a decrease of 37% from

2011, when the industry total reached US$10.6 billion (CN¥72 billion).

particularly well. This category brought in over US$1.9 billion (CN¥12.3 billion), accounting for 65% of the total

US$2.9 billion (CN¥18.9 billion). Classical painting and calligraphy brought in US$610 million (CN¥4.0 billion), or

Porcelain, Jade, and Miscellaneous Works of Art

China’s art market in terms of value sold, capturing 20% of realized revenue. Over 150,000 pieces were offered,

In 2012, Chinese porcelain, jade, and miscellaneous works of art represented the largest category of art sold

outside of mainland China, in terms of both value and volume. Throughout the year, 41,000 lots were offered at

auction (approximately 58% of the total number of lots offered overseas), and approximately 26,000 were sold.

Combined, these lots realized US$1.5 billion (CN¥9.9 billion), representing 60% of value sold overseas.

Chinese Painting and Calligraphy

Lots sold in the Chinese painting and calligraphy category accounted for approximately 20% of the total value

sold outside mainland China. Almost 8,000 lots were offered, with a sell-through rate of 70%. Over 5,600 lots

sold in this category, realizing a total of US$514 million (CN¥3.4 billion).

Modern and Contemporary Chinese Art

Although top lots in this sector tend to grab headlines in major evening sales, this category of artwork

represented only 15% of the total market by sales value, earning US$364 million (CN¥2.4 billion). Among the

2,300 works sold in the Modern and Contemporary Chinese Art category, a significant number of these works

sold in the top 1% of the market by value.

Chinese Books and Manuscripts

Chinese books and manuscripts earned roughly 5% of the value sold overseas in 2012, but represented almost a

quarter of the lots offered. Of the more than 15,000 lots offered in this sector, approximately 11,000 works sold

for a total of US$135 million (CN¥885 million).

2.2 Price Distribution

Global Market Overview

Both within mainland China and in the overseas market, the vast majority (over 90%) of Chinese Art and Antiques realized prices

below CN¥500,000 (approximately US$76,000) in 2012.

Both within mainland China and in the overseas market, the vast majority (over 90%) of Chinese Art and Antiques

realized prices below CN¥500,000 (approximately US$76,000) in 2012. While the markets for mainland China

and overseas behaved independently in regards to the prices achieved by each category of art, two categories

performed particularly well: oil paintings and Contemporary Art in mainland China, and Chinese porcelain, jade,

and miscellaneous works of art overseas.

Mainland China

More than 90% of all lots sold within mainland China achieved prices less than CN¥500,000 (approximately

US$76,000). Of these lots, the majority fell within the categories of ancient books, calligraphy inscriptions, and

stamps and coins. The highest prices realized at auction were for oil paintings and Contemporary Art, with less

than 10% of these lots fetching over CN¥500,000. The second-highest prices were paid for classical painting

and calligraphy, as well as Modern painting. Chinese painting and calligraphy works had the highest number of

transactions and the greatest sell-through rate by a wide margin, with 134 lots selling for over CN¥10 million,

accounting for nearly 70% of all lots sold in that price range.

Overseas

Similar to the price distribution of Chinese Art in mainland China, more than 90% of all lots sold outside of China

fetched less than CN¥500,000 in 2012 (approximately US$76,000). Over half of the lots sold in this price tier

were Chinese porcelain, jade, and miscellaneous works of art; another quarter of this market was represented by

Chinese books and manuscripts. Chinese porcelain, jade, and miscellaneous works of art frequently populated

the upper echelons of price tiers: all seven lots that sold for CN¥100 million (approximately US$15 million)

came from this category. Chinese paintings and calligraphy, Chinese books and manuscripts, and Modern and

Contemporary Art also had lots sell in the top 1% of the market by value. Less than 500 works sold for over

CN¥5 million, equivalent to US$760,000 in 2012.

2.3 Average Auction Prices

Global Market Overview

In 2012, the global average price for Chinese Art and Antiques was approximately US$21,900 (CN¥144,300),

a decrease from the 2011 average of US$25,900 (CN¥174,440). Over the course of 2011–2012, the average

prices of works sold in mainland China decreased, while prices overseas remained relatively stable. As works

failed to sell at the high end of the market in China, the overall market dropped considerably by value, and

average prices decreased across the board.

As works failed to sell at the high end of the market in China, the overall market dropped considerably by value, and average prices

decreased across the board.

In China, the highest prices were paid for classical painting and calligraphy, and the lowest prices were paid

for more traditional collectibles: stamps and coins, books, calligraphy inscriptions, and small porcelain works.

Overseas, works of art in the Modern and Contemporary Art category commanded the highest prices, even

though this category only represented 15% of all value sold overseas.

Mainland China

In 2012, the average price for all lots sold was US$16,300 (CN¥107,000), compared to US$22,300

(CN¥150,300) in 2011—a decrease of almost 30%. The highest average prices, up to US$49,300 (CN¥324,100),

were paid for classical painting and calligraphy. The second-highest average prices, up to US$31,400

(CN¥206,100), were paid for oil paintings and Contemporary Art. The third-highest average prices, US$26,200

(CN¥172,000), were paid for Modern painting and calligraphy. Average prices for porcelain, jade, Contemporary

paintings, ancient books, calligraphy inscriptions, stamps and coins, and other categories were all below

US$15,200 (CN¥100,000). In contrast to decreasing average prices for most art categories, average prices for

Contemporary painting and calligraphy are rising.

Overseas

A notable distinction between Chinese Art sold in mainland China and outside of China in 2012 was the behavior

of the average price for lots sold. While the average price for art sold in China dropped nearly 30% in 2012,

levels remained fairly stable outside of China. In 2012, the average price for Chinese Art sold overseas was

just over US$56,000 (roughly CN$369,000), a slight increase from US$55,600 (CN¥374,000) in 2011. The

highest average prices were earned by works of art sold in the Modern and Contemporary Art category. Lots

sold in this category fetched an average of approximately US$160,000 (CN¥1.1 million), almost three times the

average for all Chinese Art in 2012. This category was followed by high prices earned by Chinese painting and

calligraphy, and Chinese porcelain, jade, and miscellaneous works of art, with average prices of over US$90,000

(CN¥592,000) and US$55,000 (CN¥361,000), respectively. Overall, average prices across the majority of Chinese

Art categories were slightly lower in 2012 than in 2011, with the notable exception being Chinese porcelain and

jade, where the average price increased roughly 25% in 2012 from 2011 averages.

2.4. High-Priced Lots

Global Market Overview

In 2012, 409 Chinese Art and Antiques works sold for more than CN¥10 million (approximately US$1.5 million) at

auction worldwide. This is a dramatic decrease from the 831 lots that sold in this price range the previous year.

Decreases in the number of high-value lots were seen across the board; however, the most significant decline

was seen in mainland China. Most of the auction houses that sold lots in this price tier were large, established

auction houses that represent significant portions of both volume and value sold. These auction houses are

located in key urban city centers, and benefit from their ability to attract major consignments and collectors.

Mainland China

Throughout 2012, over 200 lots were sold at prices over CN¥10 million in Chinese Art and Antiques auctions, a

decrease of 375 lots compared with 2011. Sales of lots over CN¥10 million in 2012 amounted to approximately

US$700 million (CN¥4.6 billion) in revenue. This is a 66% decrease from the 2011 total of US$2.1 billion

(CN¥13.6 billion). Even though the overall market contracted sharply in mainland China in 2012, the decline of

high-value lots was much more significant than lower-tier segments of the market. In fact, the decline at the high

end exacerbated an already weakened market, resulting in a more severe downturn of the entire art and antiques

auction market.

Overseas

Similar to mainland China sales, the number of high-priced lots sold overseas also decreased in 2012. During

the 2012 auction season, 203 lots independently realized prices over CN¥10 million, as opposed to 250 in

2011. Despite the decrease in the number of lots sold, the combined total sales volume of these high-value lots

increased from 2011 to 2012. Sales of high-priced lots in 2012 brought in a combined US$1.07 billion (CN¥7.05

billion), up nearly 6% over the previous year.

2.4.1 Distribution of Auction Houses

Mainland China

The 200-plus high-value lots were sold at 23 different auction houses in 2012 (15 less than in 2011). Beijing Poly, China Guardian,

and Beijing Council accounted for roughly two-thirds of lots sold.

The 200-plus high-value lots were sold at 23 different auction houses in 2012 (15 less than in 2011). Beijing

Poly, China Guardian, and Beijing Council accounted for roughly two-thirds of lots sold, with 68, 46, and 23

works sold at each auction house, respectively. The remaining 20 auction houses sold a total of 69 lots at

prices above CN¥10 million, accounting for the remaining one-third of the lots sold in this price range. The three

auction houses mentioned above also accounted for 67% of the value sold by these lots in mainland China,

earning US$245 million (CN¥1.6 billion), US$140 million (CN¥921 million), and US$86 million (CN¥564 million),

respectively. The remaining 20 auction houses brought in a combined US$228 million (CN¥1.5 billion). In total,

nearly US$700 million (CN¥4.6 billion) was realized through the sale of these high-value lots.

Overseas

Outside of mainland China, 203 lots earned prices over CN¥10 million; the vast majority of these lots were sold

in Hong Kong (95 lots), Macau (74 lots), and New York (14 lots). Together, these three cities represented 90% of

the lots sold overseas in this high-value range. Auction houses in other city centers, including London, Paris, and

Taipei, also sold lots in this price tier.

The 203 high-priced lots were sold at 19 different auction houses overseas. Of these auction houses, the top five

sold 169 lots in this price range, accounting for 83% of lots sold, and 90% of value sold.

2.4.2 Lot Composition

Mainland China

Of the 200-plus lots sold at prices over CN¥10 million in 2012, 134 works were from the Chinese painting and

calligraphy category (accounting for 65% of the total volume). Consequently, this category realized US$466

million (CN¥3.1 billion), or 66% of the overall market, in terms of value. The porcelain, jade, and miscellaneous

works of art category was the second-largest contributor to high-value lots in mainland China. 39 works were

sold from this category for a total of US$123 million (CN¥810 million); this represented 19% of the market by

volume, and 18% by value. Additionally, 19 works were sold in the oil paintings and Contemporary Art category

(9% of the total volume), 12 pieces of jewels and jadeite were sold (6% of the total volume), and two ancient

books and calligraphy inscriptions were sold (1% of the total volume). These final three categories represented

the remaining 16% of the market by value.

Overseas

Outside of mainland China, the Chinese porcelain, jade, and miscellaneous works of art category represented

the largest segment of lots sold above CN¥10 million: 112 lots were sold for a combined value of US$780 million

(CN¥5.1 billion). This category made up 55% of the market by volume and 73% by value. Chinese painting and

calligraphy was the second-largest contributor of high-value lots overseas—as opposed to being the largest in

mainland China—with 51 lots sold. While this category made up 25% of the lots sold, it only accounted for 15%

of the market in terms of value, bringing in approximately US$170 million (CN¥1.1 billion). Finally, Modern and

Contemporary Chinese artworks represented the smallest sector of the market, accounting for 20% of the lots

sold, and bringing in US$124 million (CN¥814 million).

market. Among the 593 auctions houses selling Chinese Art and Antiques in 2012, 60% were from mainland

China, 21% from Europe, and 11% from North America. However, in terms of total sales value of Chinese Art

per region, mainland China accounted for 64% of the global total; Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan accounted

for 27%. The combined sales value of Chinese Art sold in Europe, North America, and the rest of the world

the most works in the high-value range, with 175 lots selling for over CN¥10 million.

Yangtze River Delta Region

sold over 100,000, for a total of US$1.1 billion (CN¥7.2 billion). Overall, this region accounted for 37% of sold

lots and 25% of the revenue, indicating an upward trend over the past two years. The heart of this region was

3.2 Overseas

Asia (Excluding Mainland China)

In 2012, 35 auction houses offered Chinese Art and Antiques in Asia (excluding mainland China), up from 28

houses selling art in this category in 2011. The total value sold by these 35 auction houses reached US$1.8

billion (CN¥12.2 billion), 10% more than the previous year. Even with an increase in value sold in 2012, the Asian

market contracted 10% in terms of the number of lots sold. In addition to fewer lots sold, the number of lots

selling for over CN¥10 million decreased from 196 in 2011 to 176 in 2012. Chinese Art sold by auction houses

in Asia accounted for over 19,000 of the total lots offered overseas, representing 25% of volume sold and nearly

75% of the value sold overseas. Looking at a more detailed breakdown of Asian sales, it should be noted that

Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan make up nearly the entire market in terms of value (99%) and volume (98%).

Europe

While the total sales value of Chinese Art and Antiques increased in 2012 across Asian auction houses, market share decreased for

auction houses in Europe and North America.

While the total sales value of Chinese Art and Antiques increased in 2012 across Asian auction houses, market

share decreased for auction houses in Europe and North America. European auction houses witnessed a 16%

decrease in the value of Chinese Art sold in 2012, even though the volume of lots offered and sold in this

category increased from 2011 levels. This was due, in part, to very few high-value lots sold in this category, with

only 13 lots selling for over CN¥10 million in 2012, compared to 35 in 2011. Chinese Art did gain some traction

Page 50: GLOBAL CHINESE ANTIQUES AND ART AUCTION MARKET …Fine Art, Design, and Decorative Art online. artnet was founded in 1989 with the goal of bringing transparency to the art world. In

Global Chinese Antiques and Art Auction Market 42 Annual Statistical Report: 2012

within the European market, with a 4% increase in the number of auction houses offering art in this category:

123 European auction houses sold Chinese Art in 2012, in contrast to 118 in 2011. In terms of Chinese Art sold

overseas, this region represented approximately 36% of volume sold (over 16,000 lots) and 15% of value sold

(US$395 million / CN¥2.6 billion).

North America

Closely tracking the performance of Chinese Art sold in Europe, the overall value sold in North American

contracted 21% in 2012, even though both the number of lots offered (over 24,000) and the number of lots

sold (over 17,000) increased significantly in 2012. A total of 68 North American auction houses sold art in this

category in 2012, up slightly from 66 houses in 2011. These houses brought in over US$268 million (CN¥1.8

billion) in sales, accounting for 10% of total value sold and almost 40% of volume sold in this category. Most

notably, demand for Chinese Art sold at auction in North America was higher than market demand in any other

overseas region in both 2011 and 2012, with sell-through rates above 70% both years. Of the roughly 17,000

lots that sold in this region in 2012, 15 lots sold for over CN¥10 million.

The Rest of the World

14 auction houses outside of North America, Europe, and Asia offered Chinese Art and Antiques in 2012. While

these lots represented less than 1% of volume and value sold, an increase in lots offered and sold in this sector

provides a promising indicator that Chinese Art is growing as a collecting category in other regions. Of the 231

lots sold at these auction houses, the majority were low-value works, with an average sale price of just over

US$5,000 (CN¥33,000).
