It is amazing that Chinese art has become the most expensive worldwide. When we visited China in the early 90s, we bought three Chinese paintings in Beijing. One was an original color sketch of a branch with flowers, and two were immense reproductions of Chinese calligraphy found in caves. We paid peanuts for all three. Today Chinese painting is selling in the millions. Yesterday in the NYT (11/24/09), there was a picture of a Chinese artist posing in jeans before his painting of laughing men in jeans. His paintings, and others, are selling for millions of dollars.
