Yin Yi Tu (隐逸图 Hermit Life) By Cao Liufu Painting

I've been a private collector of art works for nearly 2 decades. My particular interests include ancient Chinese ink art, modern ink art - both calligraphy and painting, as well as oil paintings. I've collected artworks of over 2000 pieces over the years. Most of the artists are top Chinese artists whose works I've auctioned at auction houses or bought from galleries. I pay particular attention to 4 major factors when it comes to what art works to collect: 1) the quality of the art piece: the use of techniques, the aesthetics, the creative breakthroughs and its academic value; 2) the artist: his/her academic background and experience as an artist, the artist's view on creativity, aesthetics, concept and ideas, etc. I often examine how interesting and authentic this person is and if what's being said reflect his/her execution of the artworks; 3) performance on the capital market for both long term and short term; 4) art critics related to the artist and his works I declare that all the artworks sold here are genuinely authentic with a certification issued by the auction house (some come with publication in the same time), and I'd be ready to assist you for resale whenever authentication being questioned.
