At the Sotheby's auction in April this year, 5 of the works, which had never been exposed, were priced against the city, and the catch was taken at HK $16.34 million (about 14.38 million) to break the artist's highest record of personal work. However, in recent days, the industry has questioned the authenticity of "catch", and triggered a continuing hot debate in the auction collection industry.  Some people think that after the outbreak of the financial crisis, many of the rare Chinese works of art appeared in the auction houses to become "leackage check" classic works of art, the other part of the people think that with the Depression period "leackage check" mentality, it is easy to encounter the "Leackage check trap."

Feng Lin's sky-high works are suspected forgeries in the economy together with the art market is still in the downlink of the spring, one months ago in the spring auction of Hong Kong Sotheby's, "20th Century Chinese Contemporary Art" special, Lin Feng's works "catch" to about 14.38 million yuan to take the first prize.

The framing then lowered valuations, stimulating buyers ' impulses to raise their purchases. After attracting enough popularity to sell, and even similar fakes will be available, more and more collectors to pick up the house, "when you think you can copy the bottom, pick up a big leak, perhaps you encounter a big lie in the beginning." "All that's missing is real collectors," leackage check, not without a lot of opportunities. "Sichuan Dream Tiger ShootSelling company general manager Liu Ming, in the context of the financial crisis, the seller's price will not be very high, so the "leackage check" opportunities than before, but because of the small number of new products, so want to pick a good thing, but also need a certain fate and opportunities.
