Sotheby's experts have stated that good things are now rare, which is why nothing can create a greater sensation in an auction than when a once-in-a-millennium piece is listed.
Chinese art experts add that you cannot truly evaluate the value of art, but you know that the rarity of the piece itself is exciting.
Other experts also mentioned that scarcity can enhance the background story of an item, but incorporating rarity into value is a complex equation.
"Just because it's rare doesn't mean it's great. If it's great, then it's not necessarily rare."
"Scarcity only becomes a factor when there is demand."
The interpretation of rarity indeed varies from person to person, but what I see in Lotus on Water is indeed an essential part of appreciation.
For example, the gamboge used by Master Yun in fengshui paintings and calligraphy is hard to find in high quality even in Cambodia, its country of origin. What makes Master Yun's gamboge truly rare is that it was given to him by the Cambodian royal family, usually reserved for dyeing monks' robes. Such a rarity cannot be bought with money.
Another example is during the SARS epidemic, when Master Yun sold his property to purchase jadeite rough stones that were being sold off at the time. Now, the jadeites sold in Lotus on Water are of top quality, something many industry players cannot match, including the record for possessing Singapore's largest jadeite rough stone. All of this adds to the rarity value.
Thus, I agree with the experts' statement that "great artwork doesn't necessarily have to be rare”, but I believe that great artwork must contain an element of rarity, like Master Yun's fengshui art. Although there are many choices, each piece is unique because the splashing colour technique cannot be imitated, and the materials used also have a certain rarity.
Do you still think that having many pieces makes it not rare? The answer is clearly no, as all the above statements are testifying to the rarity of the work, looking beyond mere quantity.
