The research scope of this research plan is the artists selected for the "Young Art 100". The research cannot be carried out without the original data provided by the "Young Art 100". From an academic point of view, there are still many problems in the field of Chinese art market research. There are no similar results, and the launch of the "Report" will definitely provide reference for researchers, collectors, and young artists. One point that needs to be emphasized is that our study measures “artistic reputation” and “career” and does not involve judgments about artistic aesthetics.
It is reported that the research progress of the "Report" is currently in progress, and a roundtable dialogue on "The Growth of Young Chinese Artists" will be held at the Central Academy of Fine Arts from May to June.
