Sotheby's also admits that their experts always check the medium of the artwork before appraising it. Although materials often have an unwritten hierarchy, such as canvases for oil paintings and marble for sculptures, some artists' ideas might be better expressed in other ways, like pastel drawings on paper.
Experts also believe that more and more artists are using creative and innovative media for painting, and the medium is an ever-changing factor. Different mediums are used in different parts of the world at different times. You can paint on canvas, on various metals, on stone, and almost any material.
Yessica Marks, the head of European Prints at Sotheby's, cites that in printmaking, common major techniques include lithography, screen printing, and intaglio, each producing completely different effects. Therefore, it ultimately depends on the effect the artist wants to achieve, such as Marc Chagall using lithography for his fluid brushstrokes.

Some artists' ideas actually translate better in other media, which is why Jean-Michel Basquiat's works on paper and on canvas are equally outstanding, and this is reflected in the prices of his works.
Julian Dawes, the co-head of Impressionist and Modern Art at Sotheby's New York, says there's a certain connection between sketches and works on paper, which you might think are conceived for oil paintings. For some artists, this is true, but for many, it's not. Edgar Degas is a perfect example, especially when using pastels and charcoal on paper, which is why Degas' works stand out.
He says that Degas' dynamics presented in pastels on paper are often better than those in oil, making them more valuable. People also realise that this is Degas' strength.
When I watched this episode, I felt that if all the examples the experts mentioned were replaced with Master Yun's fengshui art, there would be no sense of inconsistency.
Master Yun's fengshui art is both diverse and subversive in its choice of medium. Whether it's on millennia-enduring Dongba paper or on specially designed silk by French haute couture designer Eric Raisina, Master Yun's layering of champagne splashes, organic pigments, real gold and silver, acrylic paints, etc., is like a grand celebration of art, vividly displaying the spirit of celebration.
Just as Degas' quick sketches are more valuable than his oil paintings due to their unique presence, Master Yun's fengshui art also meets this criterion of value, even surpassing it.
It's not hard to understand why the medium becomes a focus in art appraisal. What surprises will the artist bring through the creativity of the medium? And will this surprise stand the test of time? And this test is not only physical but also metaphysical.
Master Yun's fengshui art creates multidimensional art through the use of rich mediums. Different angles, different times, different places, different people will see different images. This is also the most fascinating aspect of fengshui art.
