• Blue-Chip Artists

Picasso, Andy Warhol, Zao Wou-Ki, etc., offer stable value but high entry barriers.

• Emerging Artists

Young talents (e.g., award-winning graduates, participants in international biennales) are affordable but risky—assess their growth potential.

• Paintings & Calligraphy

Chinese paintings (ancient/modern) and Western oil paintings (Impressionist, Old Masters, etc.) dominate the market. Authentication of ancient works is challenging, while modern artists like Qi Baishi and Zhang Daqian have strong liquidity.

• Ceramics & Antiques

Ming/Qing imperial porcelain, high-fired Song Dynasty ceramics, and Buddhist statues—focus on pieces with documented provenance.

• Rare Books & Manuscripts

High scarcity but low liquidity, suitable for long-term holding.

• Jewelry & Watches

Vintage Cartier jewelry, limited-edition Patek Philippe watches—combine wearability and collectibility.

• Rare Manuscripts/Design Objects

Da Vinci’s sketches, Bauhaus furniture—niche but with appreciation potential.

• Crypto Ar

E.g., Beeple’s NFTs—extremely volatile, with risks tied to tech evolution.

• Blockchain Authentication

Prioritize platforms with institutional backing (e.g., Christie’s NFT initiatives).
