Chinese New Year Prints October 19, 2003
Dear friends of Chinese art
Our auction no. 58 is a very special one - 50 Chinese
folk art prints by master printmaker Tai Liping. Tai
Liping is a leading artist of the Chinese popular print,
known in the West as New Year prints. Chinese folk art
prints have a tradition of more than 500 years.
All prints are made by hand and sealed by Tai Liping as
originals. Nevertheless these prints are very
inexpensive with reserve prices of USD20, USD30 and USD50
for very large
sizes. Thus an ideal present for Christmas and New Year
for your friends and loved ones and last but not least
for yourself.
Please support this auction. Your bids help to
preserve and encourage an old Chinese art form that had
nearly been eradicated by the Cultural Revolution
of the 60s and 70s. On
www.artelino.com/articles/tai-liping.asp and
www.artelino.com/articles/tai-liping-prints.asp you find
a biography of Tai Liping and a photo series showing how
the prints are made by him and his wife.
best regards and good luck
your artelino team
