Ⅵ.阅读理解
A painting by Chinese artist Qi Baishi set a record for modern art and calligraphy (书法) on the mainland when it sold for 425.5 million yuan at an auction (拍卖) on May 22. The sale was a milestone (里程碑) in the auction of modern and contemporary (同一时代的) artworks.
The price meant its value had risen more than 2, 000 percent in six years. The work, Eagle standing on pine tree with four­character couplet(对联), measures about 2.6 metres by 1 metre. It was the second highest price paid for an artwork on the mainland. A Song dynasty work by Huang Tingjian was sold for 436.8 million yuan in 2010. Qi's painting was finished in 1946 when Qi was 86, and was his largest work. With a starting price of 88 million yuan, it attracted nearly 50 bids (出价) in half an hour. Shanghai businessman Liu Yiqian said that the work had belonged to him and had cost less than 20 million yuan in 2005. The auction company said the work was brought back to the mainland after being bought from a private owner in San Francisco six years ago.
China ranked first in global art sales last year, ahead of the United States and Britain. Four Chinese artists were among the top 10 in worldwide sales: Qi Baishi, Zhang Daqian, Xu Beihong and Fu Baoshi. Qi's works ranked second in sales to Pablo Picasso's last year. Qi was born into a peasant family in Hunan in 1864. He taught himself to paint and focused on nature including plants, insects, birds and fish. He is mostly well­known for his paintings of shrimps. In 1953, he was elected president of the Association of Chinese Artists. He died in Beijing in 1957.
