park,

i don't think you will find a catalog in 1984,
for chineses arts. the oldest auction house in
china is about 10 years old. and only in the mid-90's, is were chinese arts are sold in big auction house. before then in was a sentimental
value only. and those pricess item's china had
before the westerner's trash the emperor palace.
had no real face value in term of money. just like the artist's of paintings or calligraphys, (he or she) did not sell their item's for alot of
money.
