China's Middle Class Look to Affordable Artworks
Update: 2016-12-16
Description
China's art market has seen a boom since the early 2000s with the expansion of the Chinese economy producing a number of super-rich businessmen. It's become a normal picture for Chinese collectors and investors to throw millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars at a painting or porcelain vase at international auction events. Now this fervent search of fine, luxurious art is being accompanied with a more down-to-earth chase for lower-end, affordable artworks. Unlike the fine art market, the emerging demand for personal but affordable artistic belongings has been driven by the vast number of China's middle class in mega cities, especially Beijing and Shanghai.
