Art under the critical eye

The Chinese Socialist Culture and Arts Society, affiliated with the National Academy of Chinese Arts, recently launched an artworks appraisal and evaluation committee in Beijing. 

The committee, comprising at least 30 experts from across the country, is expected to play an important role in regulating the art appraisal and evaluation market, says its chairman Liu Yulin, a renowned connoisseur of ceramic artworks. 

The committee will also work with the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Welfare to train artwork appraisers and evaluators.
