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.

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.

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

of almost 50%. This is the first contraction in the Chinese Art auction market since the financial crisis of 2008.
Overseas

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).

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
accounted for less than 10% of the global total.

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
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).
