《经济学人》(The Economist)报道(2014-12-21标题A BRUSH WITH POWER)在香港,宋朝卷轴的竞标价达到了9500万港元,但未能达到保留价格。或许将来一位私人买家可能会买下它。跨城而过的M+画廊正在展出福建艺术家邱志杰的作品,在视频装置中他复制了《兰亭序》。他在一张宣纸上复制了一千遍。随着邱先生的笔墨行进,文字变得难以辨认,“失去了意义和历史价值”:这真是一个性格写照。
"In Hong Kong bids for the Song-dynasty scroll reached HK$95m but it did not make its reserve price. A private buyer may nab it. Across the city the M+ gallery is showing the work of Qiu Zhijie, an artist from Fujian, replicating the Orchid Pavilion preface in a video installation. He copies it a thousand times on a single sheet of rice paper. As Mr Qiu’s brush progresses, the text becomes illegible, “losing meaning and historical significance”: a true character statement."
