Promising quarterly auctions
As leading brand of medium-sized auctions in China, quarterly auctions always prioritize academic research and accurate foresight, bringing opportunities and prosperity to the auction market. Being the largest and most authoritative offline trading platform, China Guardian quarterly auctions' principle is to "select small works of great masters and masterpieces from artists of some renown", providing access to the auction market for new collectors. Our consistency and innovation have won us a good reputation and made transaction records. We hope the 50th Quarterly Auctions will be another bellwether for art auction market in the Chinese mainland.
Director and President Ms. Hu Yanyan said: "The 50th Quarterly Auctions will be held in January after the successful autumn auctions, which also mark the beginning of our 25th anniversary. We will still endeavor to provide access to art for the public, inherit and advocate traditional Chinese culture as well as attract more people to join the throng in collecting and auctioning artwork. In that way, art will be more closely related to people's lives and the art auction market will also be more mature."
