Chen doesn't harbor any complaints about this low level of commercial interest in his work, but he does resent the exploding market for contemporary art of recent years: for decades no one paid any mind to modern Taiwanese art, but only now are things turning around due to "China fever." He says, "It's as if these people are crazy enough to think they can rewrite art history!"
對於以往自己作品的行情低迷，陳界仁沒有抱怨，但看到近來當代藝術的拍賣狂潮，他又不吐不快：台灣的當代藝術家過去幾十年沒人理會，現在因為中國熱下的炒作風，才回過頭來，「這些作手的姿態狂妄到以為可以改寫藝術史！」
