Christie's has recently announced a rather surprising news: in March this year, they will be using a special auction and online auction in the same way as all the dead American scholars, famous antique dealers and the great Tibetan family Ansiu (Robert Hatfield Ellsworth) of the old possession. The placement of such an important piece of such a piece in the current online auction platform, which is not yet mainstream, appears to suggest that Christie's is trying to capture the online auction market's ambitions as soon as possible.

Art Network Auction with the development of E-commerce has been gradually promoted. However, the original attempt to electronic auction sites in the choice of products, because the lack of professional supervision and look good and bad, the opportunity to Amoy a real fine collection is almost "drop." For professional collectors, spending a lot of time looking for possible gains, but the change in the idea of auctions has sparked a lot of attention from auction houses. Now, auction houses and electric Shangdou have joined the ranks of online auctions. In addition to the Ka Tak Online, flourishing collection network and other old works of art, Beijing Poly and Taobao cooperation, CHUANGDA, Art International and other art portals have opened their own electric business platform, even Liulichang, the West cold India, such as the old also followed the trend, launched its own online trading channel.

Among them, Christie had to walk in front of numerous international auction houses, Christie's first held in December 2011 "Elizabeth Taylor Collection" Online Special auction, 25 countries of bidders for Taylor's 973 private collections, the final turnover reached 9.5 million U.S. dollars. The online auction of the Ansiu collection is undoubtedly an important part of their role in laying out the board of the Chinese antique online auction market.

From the mainland's art auction market, the art of China as a representative of a large number of professional electric dealers, so that the whole market is also brilliant. "Ink halo-China hundred years of celebrity ink Research", "the door of the great carpenter-Chinese calligraphy and painting masterpieces" and other special sessions have also made many collectors excited. Like "Decryption confidential, the reappearance of history-the Republic of China dignitaries letters special" is launched a number of games, and eventually achieved a lot of success.

"There is a big difference between online auctions and live auctions, at least for now, that many rare artworks will not opt for online auctions, so I don't plan on online auctions in the short term." "Last year, Liu, a Tibetan home in the art auction market, said. Liu's claim represents a part of the senior collectors ' view that they have a high position in their collections. And those who have taken the heavy shots have rarely appeared in the form of online auctions. Although from the whole art market development, as well as the convenience of the network to see, online auctions in the future greatly promote the trend of art market, but from the recent point of view, rely on the internet auction of the auction of art auctions is a small probability event. The first thing that the network auction should face is the problem of positioning the product.

The bidding method of network auction is also a factor restricting its development. At present, most of the art network auction is to adopt the British-style bidding, because the general online auction usually lasts several days, so many collectors either choose to bid before the deadline, or use some online auction tools to automatically bid. At the auction site, for collectors, it is possible to determine their own bid strategy by observing the performance of each competitor. They can also use a series of auction techniques to disrupt each other's auction rhythm and get the object. However, the form of online auction restricts the initiative of bidders, making it difficult to apply the bidding skills.

Although from the present situation, the network auction is difficult to replace the on-site auction, as the mainstream art auction market, but from the trend, more and more people in the industry has expressed great expectations for its future development. Beijing Poly Executive Director, Zhaoxu, one of the founders of the Chinese art code, said that the future of online auctions will certainly become an important form of art auctions, and from this time of the many online auctions in China, the buyer group participating in the online auction has already had a great growth, and the on-site auction has formed a useful supplement.
