In the last two weeks, the art circle has not been more lively than online auctions, with all sorts of good news and bad news. The good news is that Taobao auctions have sold as much as 12.1 billion in the first quarter of 2014, surpassing last year's total. Industry insiders expect Taobao auctions to overtake Sotheby's and Christie's in 2015.

Globally, Sotheby's has signed a partnership agreement with ebay to jointly develop a network platform for global customers to bid for art. These two messages have undoubtedly injected a boost to the "toddler" art dealers. 2013, the art of the electric business has been questioned by the difficult development, now really is to keep the cloud open to see month?

No, bad news about art dealers is also on the internet recently. The artist Wang June openly accused the art electric dealer Hihey "fraud", he and once "was cheated by Hihey works and owe painting not return" of the artists, to the Hihey Art Network and its President bin issued a letter of attorney, and continue to collect evidence, ready to go to court for prosecution. Sure enough, the art market, which has been questioned, has finally exposed loopholes and problems under regulatory deficiencies.

It stems from the fact that more than 10 artists entrusted their works to Hihey on the Internet and participated in the exhibition Art Sanya, held in Sanya, because they had not received the money to sell the paintings and handed over several works to art Sanya, and the artists had decided to defend their rights collectively. In fact, this kind of dispute in each circle is not nothing new, but is owed money not to give, owe things not yet. But the thing itself is based on the production of artistic power, and the artist's solution is also in the new media micro-letter to launch the topic of advocacy, so that the event itself become more sensitive and eye-catching.

Perhaps we should not call this dispute a bad thing. This matter, hidden in the underground industry operation is also exposed, whether the artist or buyer can do in the mind, the future in the management of their own works, delivery, trading and other operations will be more cautious. And in the booming of the art of electric business today, a moderate calm, reflection I am afraid is hihey this kind of early entry into the field of art, and has a certain well-known electric dealers desperately need.

In the long run, whether it is the art of electric dealers, or traditional auction houses, galleries, want to make a day in the industry, we must adhere to the laws and responsibilities, so as to have a good reputation. Anti-view auction, from the auction list to the organization of the House to see the preview to the scene auction, deal, etc., have pat, even if there are disputes, there are related laws and regulations to restrain and determine. As a result, it is still time for art dealers to form a stable trading order. And doing business on the Internet, of course, can not ignore its own power, here, good things can spread thousands of miles.
