成立五周年之際，香港萬昌斯拍賣行攜手雅昌藝術市場監測中心，將於春拍預展首日下午推出兩場主題講座——分別帶來雅昌藝術市場監測中心高級分析師段佳莉女士主講的“大數據下的佛造像市場”及玉器鑒定研究學者鄭力銘先生主講的“古玉沁色研究”，為收藏家和藝術愛好者提供藝術鑒賞的專業經驗分享和最新市場趨勢洞察。

大數據下的佛造像市場

時間：15:00

講者：段佳莉，雅昌藝術市場監測中心高級分析師，景德鎮陶瓷學院陶瓷藝術碩士

隨著中國藝術品拍賣市場升級，去年白手套專場頻出、億元成交常態化、細分市場逐步成型。據雅昌《2017年秋中國藝術品拍賣市場調查報告》預測，在國際、國內經濟環境及藝術品市場不發生巨大波動的前提下，2018春季拍賣成交額將以高於12%的速度增長（同比），達到近幾年春季拍賣的峰值（近290億）。

段佳莉長期從事拍賣市場瓷器雜項板塊的市場分析工作，負責北京文物局、北京文化部市場調研報告，主導並撰寫《2017中國畫廊行業調研報告》、累計參與撰寫9期《中國藝術品拍賣市場調查報告（春、秋）》，曾受邀參加央視證券財經頻道《國藝百家藏》訪談節目。

她將用數據說話，以上拍量、成交價格區間、地域分佈、版塊對比等，梳理近十年中國藝術品市場的發展。同時帶來全球十年間佛造像市場走勢，分析不同材質與題材的佛造像市場特點，挖掘高價及典型佛像的共性，預測佛造像市場前景。

古玉沁色研究

時間：15:50

講者：鄭力銘，玉器鑒定研究學者，中國藝術品研究會主席

不懂沁色何以談鑒玉？

玉器專家鄭力銘曾於北京大學、南京中醫藥大學、南京審計大學、廣州美術學院等高校開設文物鑒定、“國寶進課堂”等文物類公益講座，2017年7月更受邀至法國巴黎高等文化藝術管理學院講授文物鑒定知識。

他將以多年古玉鑒定經驗，帶來出土與傳世沁色的對比分析，並分享北方紅山文化與南方良諸文化、商周與戰漢玉器沁色相關的最新研究成果。

現場設有提問環節，兩位專家皆會進行主題相關的答疑，講座以普通話進行，免費入場，名額有限，報名現正開放中。
