&# 8203;&# 8203;&# 8203;&# 8203;&# 8203;&# 8203; Today, the topic of "famous paintings torn up by bear children" has attracted the attention of many netizens. What's going on? What was the famous painting torn by the bear child? Recently, at the preview of an auction company, many bosses took their children to visit and study. However, these underage children like to chase and fight. One of the children tore up a centennial famous painting originally scheduled for Christie's Hong Kong Spring Auction on May 28. Let's have a look at the details of the event.
According to the on-site photos posted on the Internet, what was destroyed was the No. 1393 photo of the site - the light yellow willow with rooks, which is the four screens of Ren Bonian's flowers and birds. The lower half of the painting was completely torn off. The set of paintings was created in 1889 and the estimated value is HK $1.5 million to HK $2.5 million (about RMB 1.3 million to RMB 2.19 million). At present, Christie's official website shows that the auction has been withdrawn.
In order to allow collectors to have close access to these collections, the paintings in the exhibition are basically not separated from calligraphy and painting with glass. The purpose is to enable collectors to personally test the authenticity of calligraphy and painting works. It is precisely for this reason that the painting "light yellow willows with rooks" has the opportunity to be torn up by bear children, although the exhibitor is responsible, But the primary responsibility lies with the children and their parents.
In fact, similar accidents have occurred many times. We often see reports of children making trouble in the news. It is normal for children to play. However, children have no concept of right or wrong. If parents do not restrict and guide them, they may lead to serious consequences. Therefore, if you don't educate your child, someone will educate him for you after entering the society in the future.
Accidental destruction of exhibits by children is not an individual case
In recent years, accidental destruction of exhibits by children has happened occasionally. In August 2015, a little boy accidentally fell down while watching the truth Da Vinci's talent exhibition in Taipei and pressed his hand on Paul & middot, who is more than 300 years old; Paolo porporpora's painting "flowers" made a hole in the work, and the boy who caused the accident blamed himself very much. Later, the work was urgently repaired by the repairman, and the little boy was not responsible for the compensation for the accident.
For the preview of the auction house, the important auction items are basically insured. Chen Junda, a researcher of the academic research department of the China collectors association, said: "the destroyed auction is insured, so the auction company's first step is to negotiate with the insurance company to see the claim proportion and amount. If the auction is not insured, the party concerned will compensate. "
Should auction companies prohibit children from entering
Huang Xiangjie, a member of the China Book Association, said, "the pre exhibition of the auction is no better than that of the museum. Almost all the works on display have no protection measures, so that collectors can see the works more clearly. Some parents like to take their children to the preview site for artistic edification, which is really the wrong place. Children who are really interested in art should be taken to museums and art galleries. The collections there are all classics, which are more suitable for learning. "
"A staff member of the antiques Department of an auction house fell in high heels and broke his porcelain. Since then, there has been a rule that the staff of the antiques department can not wear high heels. I think the auction house may take measures to treat children carefully in the future. " Xi Yaoyi analyzed.
Zhang Xiaobin, a senior observer of the art market, believes that due to site reasons, the exhibits can not be fully protected, especially the traditional vertical axis form, which is easy to be damaged by the audience. " Originally, it was good for parents to take their children to the exhibition and edify their children's artistic atmosphere, but the risk of children damaging art exists. Whether to prohibit children from entering the exhibition in the future is an issue that auction companies should consider. "
