Chinese Woodblock Prints - May 1, 2005

Dear friends of Chinese woodblock prints

This is our third auction exclusively devoted to Hao Boyi, Shi Yi and Hao Ping. These three woodblock printmakers are leading artists in today's China. Their importance for modern Chinese woodblock printmaking is in our view comparable to that of artists like Hiroshige, Kunisada or Kuniyoshi for Japanese ukiyo-e in the 19th century or Picasso, Salvador Dali or Juan Miro for modern 20th century painting.

You find a short portray of these three masters on www.artelino.com/articles/chinese-woodblock-masters.asp

The auction is open on www.artelino.com/auction/catalog.asp and will end coming Thursday, May 5 at 8:00 PM = 2:00 PM in New York.

This time we offer 61 prints, ca. double the amount of the last auction of "Three Woodblock Masters". We know that we will hardly sell more than 30-50%, but we wanted to give you a maximum of choice. Since we have started to offer modern Chinese prints about two years ago - then practically unknown among Western art collectors - we have seen so many wonderful art work from China. And more and more of our clients from as far as Australia have turned into passionate collectors of these stunning contemporary Chinese prints.

Most of the Chinese prints are very large, and therefore shipping is expensive - for the large sizes even more than we charge you. But you can save shipping fees by accumulating purchases from several auctions to have them shipped in one package for one shipment fee. And If the total of your purchases (hammered prices) is at least USD 1,000, we even ship for free.

Enjoy our web site. And if you like what we do, please bid and buy in our auctions.
