104 No one could have imagined it
After the silk cloth is removed, two oil paintings, as well as a vase of Eros and a bronze sculpture of a discus thrower, are revealed.
After everyone's eyes swept over these four works, they finally stopped at "Twelve Sunflowers in a Vase".
Anyone who knows anything about Western art knows that the original bronze statue of the discus thrower has long been lost in history, and everyone thinks that this is an imitation of later generations, and they don't care very much.
Leonardo da Vinci's "Salvator Mundi" was also ignored by everyone, and no one could have imagined that this would be the real work of Leonardo da Vinci.
Although the Eros vase is very special, those who are familiar with gemstone-embossed glass take it for granted that it is an imitation of a later generation.
Among these four works of art, only Van Gogh's oil painting is the most eye-catching.
The famous "Sunflowers", everyone knows everyone, after seeing this painting, the first thing that comes to everyone's mind is that maybe this is Van Gogh's real work.
Van Gogh died just over 120 years ago, and the price of this imitation of this painting is not too high, so Xiao Yao should not take an imitation to fill the number.
After seeing this painting, Wang Xiaoxian's face was full of surprise, and he asked directly: "This should be Van Gogh's real work, right? Mr. Xiao still has such a top work of art, today is really an eye-opener!"
Xiao Yao said: "Of course it is Van Gogh's authentic handiwork, this is an oil painting with an orderly inheritance, you can take a look at the appraisals next to this painting, those appraisals are issued by famous appraisers and various appraisal agencies, you can make a reference." ”
"I really didn't expect to be able to see Van Gogh's real work with my own eyes today, with this piece of art that is considered to be the top art in the world, it seems that this autumn auction of our art rhyme is going to be a sensation all over the world. Although the appraiser he brought has not yet started the appraisal, he believes that it is impossible to tell a lie with Xiao Yao's identity.
Wang Xiaoxian couldn't wait to come to the front of this painting, and looked at it carefully, "It's a pity that I don't know much about the appraisal of Western oil paintings, but I think this painting is really beautiful, I like it very much, and it is worthy of Van Gogh's authentic work." ”
"You better let the appraiser you brought to do the appraisal, you can see it in vain, don't waste time. Lu Yahong said without scruples on the side.
Wang Xiaoxian didn't know what kind of lots Xiao Yao had prepared in advance, so he brought a total of 6 appraisers, but fortunately, two of them also had a deep knowledge of the appraisal of Western artworks, and it was no problem to make a preliminary appraisal.
The two appraisers took out professional appraisal tools, appraised for about half an hour, and after exchanging opinions, one of the white-haired appraisers said: "After the preliminary appraisal with Mr. Huang, we both think that this should be the authentic work of Van Gogh, but if we want to give the final appraisal results, we need to do more professional appraisals after going back." ”
"Just have a general result, so many professional appraisal certificates, can basically explain the problem. ”
Then, Wang Xiaoxian turned his head to Xiao Yao and said: "For Mr. Xiao, I believe it 100%, but I can't violate the company's regulations, now we can only preliminarily recognize that this painting is the authentic work of Van Gogh, and after making a more professional appraisal, we can only draw the final conclusion, which has to be understood by Mr. Xiao." ”
"I can understand that the identification of such a precious work of art must be cautious, and I am still relieved of your artistic charm. Xiao Yao didn't care.
"I don't know which master's imitation of Leonardo da Vinci's "Savior Mundi" Mr. Xiao took out this painting and sent it for auction, presumably this painting should also be the work of a famous artist. Wang Xiaoxian's eyes fell on Leonardo da Vinci's painting, and he looked at it again and again, but unfortunately he didn't know much about Western oil painting, so he couldn't tell whose painting it was.
"If you say it, there will be no sense of expectation, let's let the two appraisers you brought take a look at it first, and see if they can draw conclusions?" Xiao Yao didn't immediately take out the many appraisal certificates of this painting, and specially added, "This painting is very precious, not very easy to identify, the two appraisers have to put a little more effort into it." ”
"When Mr. Xiao said this, I am looking forward to it even more, it seems that this autumn auction of our Yiyun is going to cause a sensation. Wang Xiaoxian's heart is like grass growing, and he can't wait to know the conclusion now.
This time, the identification took longer. After half an hour, the two appraisers were still unable to come to a final conclusion.
The white-haired appraiser stood up and said, "Wang Dong, this painting is so precious, the two of us don't dare to draw conclusions easily, if it's in Kyoto, I can call a few more people to appraise it together." Mr. Wu Juyuan should be in Hanzhou City, he has a deep attainment in the appraisal of Western oil painting and Western sculpture, I want to invite him to come over for joint appraisal, you can see it, right?"
"I believe in the appraisal level of you and Teacher Huang, since you feel the need to call Teacher Wu Juyuan over, then you can call. Wang Xiaoxian wanted to ask what their preliminary results were, but he was worried about putting pressure on the two appraisers, so he couldn't help but ask.
"Dong Wang, you must treat me to a big meal another day, it seems that your harvest today will exceed your expectations. A genuine painting of Van Gogh is already incredible, it seems that this pair of Leonardo da Vinci's "Salvator Mundi" should be very unusual, it must be copied by a famous artist, otherwise the two appraisers you brought would not be so cautious. Although Lu Yahong also has a stake in Yiyun, he is only a minority shareholder after all, and Wang Xiaoxian is a major shareholder, and it is too important for Yiyun to have two world-class famous paintings appear in the autumn auction.
"No problem, don't wait later, I'll treat you and Mr. Xiao to a big meal at noon today, I just brought a few bottles of good wine, I will definitely let you have a good time eating and drinking." Wang Xiaoxian said briskly.
Wang Xiaoxian was in a good mood and could have been kind to him, but under his deliberate guidance, the three of them chatted very speculatively.
It didn't take long for the appraiser named Wu Juyuan to rush over.
The three of them continued to evaluate for about half an hour, and after repeated consultations, they finally came to a preliminary appraisal conclusion.
The white-haired appraiser said: "Wang Dong, after many appraisals by the three of us, we preliminarily believe that this "Savior" should be the authentic work of Leonardo da Vinci. ”
"What did you say?" Wang Xiaoxian stood up suddenly, "You said that this is actually the real work of Leonardo da Vinci!"
