Exhibitions such as "From Botticelli to Van Gogh" at the Shanghai Museum and "400 Years of Western Figure Painting" at the Baolong Art Museum showcase the top works of Western classical art. Art021 and the West Coast Art Expo are active stages for modern and contemporary art works to appear. Every year at the CIIE, there are also world-class auction houses and galleries such as Sotheby's and Christie's, bringing stunning art history masterpieces at astonishing prices.

However, for ordinary consumers and art enthusiasts, the way to get up close to these works is not only to buy tickets to see the real appearance, but also to buy some peripheral cultural and creative products to go home and keep as a souvenir.

This is the first edition of the Ranqi Art Expo held in Shanghai, which has a history of 24 years in the UK where it originated. The original English name of the exhibition was "Affordable Art Fair," which literally translates to "Affordable Art Fair.". 47 galleries at home and abroad showcase over 350 artists and over 1000 artworks, with prices ranging from 1000 to 100000 yuan.

The manager of a gallery told reporters, "Any successful artist has gone through a stage of being young, cutting-edge, and affordable. For those works that have already been recognized by the market, they will quickly enter a very small circle of wealth and become the collection of a few people."

But this is just the tip of the iceberg that most people see in the art world. In the market, there are a large number of excellent and affordable art works with appreciation potential that can be accepted by the ordinary income class. For both collectors and galleries, discovering artists, discovering new works, growing together with artists through collection and trading, witnessing their works gradually being recognized in the market, is the true joy of entering this industry.

At the Ranqi Art Expo, you can see that most of the artworks displayed in the gallery are colorful, with light themes and full of aesthetic expressions in paintings and installations. These works not only convey the artist's clear and strong creative intentions, but many of them are also quite decorative. The gallery staff enthusiastically introduce the artist to passing or stopping audiences, introduce their works, and share the joy of discovering "treasures".

This kind of "sales" atmosphere, which is different from general art fairs, can indeed break people's prejudices about art and allow them to approach and understand art with a level view.

Over the past 24 years, the Ranqi Contemporary Art Expo has sold over 500000 artworks worldwide, with a total sales revenue of over 530 million euros. On average, the price of an artwork is equivalent to around a thousand yuan in Chinese yuan. Shanghai is the first city for Ranqi to land in China. It is worth noting that well-known local galleries and art forces in Shanghai, including Yanwu and Yicang, actively participated in this expo. It is expected that this exhibition will promote and influence the diversification and popularization of the Shanghai art market.
