春拍會寫下最高畫價記錄-墨荷
H. H. Dorje Chang Buddha III’s “Ink Lotus,” sold at Gianguan’s New York spring auctions on March 22 for $16.5 million, the highest price of any painting sold at the spring auctions -- including Gianguan, Sotheby’s and Christie’s -- surpassing by multiple times the selling price of works by renowned artists East and West, past and present: surpassing Zheng He’s calligraphy of Buddhist sutra which auctioned for US$14,000,000; surpassing Shi Tao’s “Poems, Calligraphy and Landscape” which auctioned for US$3,946,000; surpassing Shi Lu’s “Prunus Branch and Rock” which auctioned for US$3,525,000; surpassing Zhang Daqian’s “Ancient Temple Deep in the Mountains” which auctioned for US$233,000; surpassing Pan Tianshou’s “Lilies” which auctioned for US$1,565,000; surpassing Wu Changshuo’s “Chrysanthemums and Rocks” which auctioned for US$370,000; surpassing He Cheng’s “Zhao Yun” which auctioned for US$200,000; surpassing Qi Baishi’s “Insects and Leaves” which auctioned for US$197,000; surpassing the various subjects in ten pieces of Ba Da Shan Ren which auctioned for US$149,000; surpassing Xu Beihong’s “Scroll of Ten Fine Horses” which auctioned for US$120,000; and Li Keran’s “Cowherder” which auctioned for US$81,250.
The artist is the highest world leader of Buddhism and has been recognized for his accomplishments and contributions to humanity with the 614 Senate Resolution of the United States in 2012, the World Peace Prize, the Presidential Gold Medal, the Martin Luther King Award, among others. He is also a Fellow of Britain’s Royal Academy of Arts. He lives in California, USA. Buyers from various countries launched a bidding war over His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III’s painting, which opened at $10,500,000. After several intense rounds of paddle-raising among the final few bidders, a U.S. buyer finally beat out his competitors and fellow bidders (hailing from Paris and Southeast Asia), and won the painting at a record-breaking $16.5 million.
“Ink Lotus— An utter chaos strewn with broken strokes: a peculiar sight, yet wondrously endowed with a soul-soothing charm,” is mounted, ink on paper, and ten square feet in size. When the appraiser first unfurled the scroll and saw the painting, he declared with astonishment: “Dorje Chang Buddha III has arrived” – a revealing sign of the extreme prestige of H. H. Dorje Chang Buddha III’s paintings. H. H. Dorje Chang Buddha III’s limited edition reproductions also hold the record for the highest-selling reproductions exceeding that of such world-renowned painters as Picasso, Monet, Van Gogh, Cézanne and Gauguin. The artist’s limited edition of 200 copies of “Carp in a Lotus Pond,” for instance, auctioned at $379,500 for one piece. Paintings and calligraphy by H. H. Dorje Chang Buddha III are difficult to come by, and even more difficult to acquire. All originals feature a three-dimensional fingerprint as authentication. According to auction specialists, the International Art Museum of America has offered to purchase H. H. Dorje Chang Buddha III’s sunflower and water lily oil paintings for over $1,000,000 per square foot, but has yet to acquire the paintings due to unsuccessful price negotiations. Art by H. H. Dorje Chang Buddha is expected to increase in value as the artist is now focusing solely on Buddhist activities, and will no longer pursue painting.

H.H.第三世多杰羌佛的一幅「墨荷」在這次紐約春拍會上，被貞觀公司以一千六百五十萬美元拍出，不僅創下是次春拍會所有拍賣公司——蘇富比、佳士得、貞觀等最高書畫拍賣紀錄，也超越了此次所有古今中外名家書畫價格的數倍：超過了鄭和的手抄佛經所拍出的一千四百萬美元；超過了石濤的「詩書畫三絕」所拍出的三百九十四萬六千美元；超過了石魯的「春梅獨立」所拍出的三百五十二萬五千美金；超過了潘天壽的「百合」所拍出的一百五十六萬五千美元；超過了吳昌碩的「菊石」圖所拍出的三十七萬美元；超過了張大千的「深山藏古寺」所拍出的二十三萬三千美元；超過了元代何澄的「趙雲」所拍出的二十萬美金；超過了齊白石的「蟲葉」所拍出的十九萬七千美元；超過了八大山人的十張冊頁所拍出的十四萬九千美金；超過了徐悲鴻的「十駿圖卷」所拍出的十二萬美元；超過了李可染的「牧童」所拍出的八萬一千兩百五十美元。
H.H.第三世多杰羌佛不僅是世界頂級的大藝術家，更是世界佛教最高領袖，美國參議院二○一二年全票通過六一四號決議表彰他對人類的貢獻和成就，還獲得無數獎項，包括世界和平獎、總統金質獎、馬丁·路德金獎等，他還是英國皇家藝術學院二○○多年來唯一的「Fellow」。
「墨荷」的起拍價為一千零五十萬美元，來自世界各國的買家競相角逐，經過數輪競價以後，一位美國的白人打敗了來自巴黎和東南亞的競爭者，以創紀錄的一千六百五十萬美金（稅前價格）贏得該幅國寶級珍品藝術。
「墨荷——滿幅狼藉破筆兮，奇哉兮妙竟怡情」為鏡心水墨紙本，十平方英尺大小，以單價尺寸計，則是每平方英尺一百六十五萬美元。事實上，H.H.第三世多杰羌佛書畫的限量複製品的價格也是非常之高，如限量兩百張的「蓮塘鯉魚」拍賣價就達到卅八萬美金一張，這個價格比春拍會上很多名家的真跡拍賣價都要高，也遠超世界著名畫家畢卡索、莫奈、梵高、塞尚、高更、安迪‧沃霍爾等大師們的複製品畫價。
收藏家們都知道，H.H.第三世多杰羌佛的作品向來以「畫種多樣，技法超卓，量少質精」而著稱，因此，很多人往往拿錢都買不到H.H.第三世多杰羌佛的畫，所以，這次在春拍前的預展會上，鑑定家一打開畫卷，看到H.H.第三世多杰羌佛的畫，就驚嘆說：「南無第三世多杰羌佛來了！」由此可見，羌佛畫作的珍貴和稀少。據專家們預計，H.H.第三世多杰羌佛的畫會越來越珍稀，越來越難買，因為H.H.第三世多杰羌佛已經封筆了，不再畫畫，而一心專注於佛教事務。
