Approaching two o'clock in the afternoon, the exhibition hall became lively again.
Most of the bidders have returned to the exhibition hall and took their seats with anticipation. Those who have not arrived yet, only a few who went to the guest room upstairs for lunch break, are older.
Ye Tian's family members also returned to the nearby lounge. They were drinking tea and chatting while waiting for the second half of the auction to begin. Everyone was very excited.
After arranging the family and seeing that the time was almost up, Ye Tian left the lounge and returned to the noisy exhibition hall.
Just before he walked to the exhibition area and was about to board the auction stage, a voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Xiaoye, please wait a minute, I have something to look for you!"
Ye Tian stopped immediately and turned to look behind him.
It was Mr. Liu, a well-known collector from Shanghai who called to stop himself. He was also the buyer who paid a astronomical price of RMB 255 million and took the picture of Wang Meng's "Hidden in Dongshan"!
This is definitely the number one gold master at the scene! He is also one of the most powerful collectors in the country. There are definitely many opportunities to deal with in the future, and you must welcome you with a smile!
Ye Tian took two steps forward and asked politely with a smile:
"I can't talk about it! Excuse me! What can you do? Mr. Liu, please tell me, I listen carefully, do you have any questions about the "Hidden in the East Mountain" by Wang Meng?"
"That ancient painting is perfect, there is no doubt about it, I like it very much! The reason why I stop you is not because of that ancient painting, but another thing, I want you to help!"
"Help? Tell me, what can I do for you? If I can, I will spare no effort!"
"You can definitely help. This is what you do best, without any difficulty! As you know, I like to collect antique art, regardless of Chinese and foreign.
As long as I see the right thing, and the price is reasonable, and within the scope of the financial support, I will take it. Over the years, I have indeed received a lot of things, both good and bad!
I was introduced a few days ago, and I met a French art collector who was not well-known, but he had a few paintings in his hand, but I was very excited and wanted to get it!
There are five paintings in that batch, which are abstract oil paintings with obvious cubism and surrealism. The painting level looks quite good, somewhat Picasso's style!
According to the French collector, these five paintings are from Picasso's hands. They are from the pastoral period. They have always been in his private collection and have never appeared on the market! "
"Picasso's work, that should be very good! Picasso's pastoral period paintings are indeed mainly abstract paintings combining Cubism, Realism and Surrealism!
The two decades from April 6 to July 3 are at the peak of Picasso's creation. He painted many excellent top art works, such as the "Carmen" series. Each painting is of great value.
When you encounter such a good thing, if you are sure that there is no problem with the painting, you should put it in your bag as soon as possible! The five paintings of Picasso’s pastoral period, I sound a little moving! "
Hearing what Ye Tian said, Mr. Liu's eyes lit up and he immediately said excitedly:
"Xiaoye, it seems that you know Picasso very well, like a few treasures, you are worthy of being a world-famous, Chinese and Western antique art appraisal expert, really well-deserved!
I really liked those five paintings and wanted to take them down, but I encountered a very difficult problem! It is impossible to identify the authenticity of the five paintings, so I dare not rush to shoot!
You know, each of the five paintings has an asking price of more than US$10 million, and two of them are as high as US$30 million. Even I, I feel a little trembling when I hear this price! "
"Isn't it humble? When you took Modigliani's "Side Lying" for $170 million, you didn't even blink your eyelids. It has become a good talk in the art collection field!
You can make decisive shots at that sky-high price, so how can you care about the tens of millions of dollars in quotations? All five paintings add up to only 100 million dollars! To you, that's a trivial matter!
The reason why you are hesitant seems to be worried about the authenticity of those paintings. What is going on? Could the French collector not provide an authoritative conclusion? This shouldn't be!
Besides, I am also very curious, why didn't the Frenchman send these five paintings to auction? You know, that's Picasso! Top lots that all auction houses are chasing wildly! "
Ye Tian praised the man in front of him fiercely, and said one of his most proud deeds in his life, and then asked the specific reason.
This kid is so good at life! It sounds so comfortable! Transparent!
With a bright smile on Mr. Liu's face, he immediately explained the reason.
"The French collector provided the appraisal conclusions given by the two appraisal experts, as well as a report of scientific test data, and did a lot of testing on the painting.
Judging from the inspection report, those paintings were indeed created in the 1950s and 1960s, and conform to the chronological characteristics of Picasso's pastoral period, but the problem lies in the two appraisal conclusions.
The two appraisal experts who gave the appraisal conclusions are all Spanish and come from Malaga, Picasso's hometown. They are not well-known appraisal experts, but are only well-known locally.
For the appraisal conclusions they gave, to be honest, I still can't believe it. After all, this is an art transaction involving hundreds of millions of dollars. I have to be cautious.
As for why the French guy didn't send these paintings for shooting, I still understand it better. Everyone knows that the tax burden on that ghost place in France is too high, it is simply frightening!
If that collector sends these paintings for auction, apart from commission, nearly 50% of the auction proceeds will be cut across the board by the French government. I would not bear it!
That's why he came to me with these paintings, hoping to trade them privately, transfer these paintings to me, transfer the transaction funds to a bank account opened in a tax haven, and then enjoy life! "
"I understand, you want me to verify the authenticity of the Picasso paintings, and then decide whether to proceed with the transaction, is that correct?"
"That's right! You know the domestic situation. There are many top antique art appraisal experts, but most of them are studying Chinese antique art, such as those from the Forbidden City.
Domestic experts and scholars who have deep research on Western painting art are inherently few, and experts and scholars with in-depth appraisal of Western art are even rarer and very difficult to find.
The classification of Western painting art is too detailed, and the number of modern and contemporary works is also very large. Picasso alone has 60,000 works. Who can guarantee that they have seen them all? Let alone identification!
The day I received the invitation from you, I thought of asking you to help identify these paintings. There is no more suitable candidate than you, and no one has a sharper vision than you!
In the identification of antique works of art, you are a well-known Chinese and Western eater. I have never heard that you have seen it before. In front of your eyes, I believe that those paintings will have no secrets at all!
So I came to the door. Of course, the more important purpose is to participate in this auction and collect a few top antique works of art. If I can ask you to help, that would be great!
The authenticity of those paintings is up to you! how about it? Xiaoye, can you help me with this? , If possible, let's make an appointment, I'll be waiting for you in Shanghai! "
After speaking, Mr. Liu stared at Ye Tian, looking forward to his answer.
Ye Tian didn't reply immediately, but pondered.
After a while, he smiled and said:
"Too much! Mr. Liu~www.novelhall.com~ However, in terms of identifying Western antique artworks, I am still quite confident, and I have some research on Picasso's paintings in various periods.
Since you have made this request, please help me to appraise the paintings. It is worthy of me and recognition of my appraisal level. If I do not agree, it would be too unkind!
But I'm afraid it won't work in these two days. You have seen the scene. Once the auction ends, there must be a lot of things waiting for me. It is impossible to spare time to go to Shanghai.
After all this time, it is estimated that it will be after the tenth day. Then I will go to Shanghai to help you identify the so-called Picasso paintings. Do you think they are? "
"No problem, thank you so much, Xiaoye, then I will wait for your good news in Shanghai!"
Mr. Liu said excitedly, and then shook hands with Ye Tian to finalize the matter.
Next, Mr. Liu introduced some related details, and it was almost time to return to his seat happily.
Ye Tian raised his hand to check the time, then walked to the auction stage, ready to open the second half of the auction!
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Approaching two o'clock in the afternoon, the exhibition hall became lively again.
Most of the bidders have returned to the exhibition hall and took their seats with anticipation. Those who have not arrived yet, only a few who went to the guest room upstairs for lunch break, are older.
