CKGSB Professor of Finance Mei Jianping will launch the MM Chinese Art Indices, a biannual reference guide that determines the changing dynamics of the Chinese art market by measuring repeat auction sales.
The study is based on auction records from Sotheby’s, Christie’s and Phillips, in Beijing, Shanghai, Singapore, Paris, London and New York. With the Indices, investors can apply reason to the valuation of Chinese art, which in turn may help the market grow at a sustainable pace.
