“宫廷艺术”这个概念是上世纪90年代香港佳士得率先提出的,为的是把宫廷艺术和普通的拍品进行剥离。开“宫廷艺术”先河,源于苏富比和佳士得两大巨头的竞争,70年代进驻香港的苏富比占据先天优势,时任香港佳士得掌门人林华田出奇制胜,将瓷器、杂项和书画全抽离出来,用称作“宫廷艺术”的华丽包装去占据市场,宫廷艺术在一定程度上既迎合了国人对帝王的崇拜心理,也更容易被买家认识和接受。毕竟“宫廷艺术”集合了那个时代最好的材料、最好的工匠,最好的构思,代表了当时最好的工艺水准。 The concept of “court art” was first introduced by Christie’s Hong Kong in the 1990’s in order to divert the court art from the ordinary auction. Courtesy of Sotheby ’s and Christie’s competition, the Sotheby’s stationed in Hong Kong in the 1970s took on innate advantages. At the time, Lim Hwa Tin, head of Hong Kong’s Christie’s department, surprisingly won the opportunity to bring porcelain, miscellaneous and paintings All pumped out, with the so-called “court art” gorgeous packaging to occupy the market, court art to a certain extent, not only to meet the Chinese people worship the emperor, but also easier for buyers to recognize and accept. After all, “court art” gathered the best materials of that era, the best artisans, the best ideas, representing the best craftsmanship of the time.
