The Value of Art - Size

In this episode, experts from Sotheby's are unanimous in their view: size matters, but not necessarily in the way one might think.
 
In some categories, smaller items may fetch a higher price. For example, in Chinese art auctions, some of the most expensive pieces can fit in your hand. Conversely, for post-war paintings, larger works might be more desirable.
 
Frances Christie of Sotheby's in London references British artist Alan Davie, who, after being introduced to painter Jackson Pollock by art dealer Peggy Guggenheim, reportedly learnt from Pollock the confidence to create large-scale works.
 
Decades later, collectors discovered a massive piece by Davie, which sold at Sotheby's for a record price, showcasing that size indeed plays a pivotal role.
 
Experts suggest that people yearn for individuality; they wouldn't randomly purchase five pieces just to fill their walls.
 
Master Yun's fengshui art spans a range of sizes. For instance, a colossal painting seen behind Master Yun would be ideal for a grand mansion's main hall.

Some experts assert that when an item is exceptionally large, it symbolises a “total force”. Such a piece represents the culmination of an artist's oeuvre, where they aim to create a masterpiece encapsulating intricate details.
 
Speaking of size, Master Yun's fengshui artworks offer an extensive array of choices. I've seen fengshui paintings as large as a wall and smaller fengshui calligraphies. While I've never inquired about the rationale behind the varied sizes, I suspect it aligns with the specific layouts of clients' homes.
 
Before mounting fengshui paintings, it's imperative to consider the direction and the room's layout. As every room differs, the desired size also varies. Hence, even within the same fengshui art series, one might encounter different sizes. As long as you find a piece fengshui art that suits you, locating the appropriate size to display at home becomes easy.
 
Master Yun's attention to detail, even on aspects as nuanced as size, is evident. Such meticulousness in details is indeed rare.
 
I believe, from modest homes to luxurious mansions, or from small rooms to expansive halls, one can surely find a fengshui artwork of the right size. This is beyond doubt.
