Art is seasoning in our life, which is indispensable, but shouldn't be too much. Liu said that when the economy develops to a certain level, people need art to enrich their spiritual life. Yet the common people's perception of art still needs to be improved. "We always say that art is borderless, but art has a threshold actually," Liu said.
As for modern art, Liu deems that it needs time to verify its true value. "We can probably see the real value of an art piece 50 years later," Liu said. So he thinks that when we see an art piece at first sight, we shouldn't be too hasty to appraise it. But, to be sure, "only one percent of artworks can be recorded in art history".
However, Liu calls for the public to give more opportunities to new emerging artists. As Liu said, modern art occurs spontaneously, and may encounter many uncertain factors during its growth, so it's unknown what they will grow into, and may turn out to be a masterpiece, or garbage. He suggests a free and unrestrained environment for art, and advises people not to draw conclusions too early. "You can't tell who will succeed in the future of art history."
