What Lu Jinguang wants is the gimmick of the work being selected for the British Museum, and one work is enough. Even if the price of the sale is a little lower, it is worth it with this gimmick.

Just one work made it to the British Museum would be enough to make Xiao Yao famous, and Lu Jinguang was confident that the remaining three paintings would sell for at least double or even more price.

Jingyuan Gallery was fortunate to sign Xiao Yao, Lu Jinguang was eager to make a little achievement, so that Xiao Yao could see his ability, and now that Xiao Yao is sitting firmly in Diaoyutai, he can only cooperate.

Following the British Museum's request for purchase, world-famous museums such as the Metropolitan Museum, the Museum of Western Art in Tokyo, the Vatican Museums, and the Louvre have successively sent people to contact Lu Jinguang, all of whom expressed their willingness to purchase Xiao Yao's paintings.

Among the major museums, the most sincere is the Western Art Museum in Tokyo. The Tokyo Museum of Art offered $8 million for "The Girl Who Reads" and "Frog on the Lotus Pond" and $15 million for "Fire" and "Thunder."

Although Xiao Yao's artistic achievements are very high, he has just emerged after all, and it is unprecedented for a newcomer's work to be sold for a high price of more than 10 million US dollars.

It's a pity that the purchase requests of these museums were all rejected by Xiao Yao without exception.

The exhibition of Balinese contemporary artists was originally planned to be on display for half a month, but because Xiao Yao's works attracted too much attention and attention, painters and critics from all over the world, attracted by the comments, rushed to Paris to visit the exhibition, and temporarily decided to extend the exhibition by one week.

With the increase in the number of visitors, the sensation caused by Xiao Yao's works became bigger and bigger, and more and more people were attracted and rushed to Paris to visit the exhibition.

Major museums and collectors around the world have thrown olive branches to Xiao Yao, paying more and more attention to these works, and the quotations are getting higher and higher.

By the end of the exhibition, the offer for "The Reading Girl" and "The Frog in the Lotus Pond" had reached $10 million, and the offer for "Fire" and "Thunder" had reached $20 million.

At the end of the exhibition, Xiao Yao originally thought that the influence of these works would gradually wane until they were lifeless.

But what he didn't expect was that with the fermentation of time, the sensation caused by these works became bigger and bigger.

First of all, the Bali Academy of Fine Arts introduced all four of his works into the university textbooks, followed by the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, the Florence Academy of Fine Arts, the Repin Academy of Fine Arts, the California Academy of Arts, and the Academy of Fine Arts of the Berlin University of the Arts, and other world-famous art academies have introduced Xiao Yao's four works into the university textbooks.

There are countless articles on the analysis of these four works, and many experts have commented.

Although Xiao Yao has just emerged and the prices of his works have just set sail, the artistry of his works has not been despised because of his youth and obscurity.

These 4 works of his have been unanimously praised by the art world, and they are highly evaluated, and are generally regarded as epoch-making masterpieces.

Xiao Yao's works can resonate with the viewer's heart, and are indisputably soul-touching works, such works simply subvert people's cognition, and it is inevitable that they will be sought after.

After Xiao Yao was recognized as the originator of the dualist school, he was given the title of "soul painter".

At the end of the exhibition, the four exhibited works returned to Xiao Yao's hands, and at the same time, the head of the art acquisition department of the Louvre in Paris followed.

Accompanying the Louvre delegation in Paris to Kyoto was Lu Jinguang.

In the past few days, the person in charge of the Louvre in Paris has been in close contact with Lu Jinguang, considering that the person in charge of the Louvre in Paris is indeed very sincere, Lu Jinguang brought them to Kyoto to meet Xiao Yao.

After talking to Xiao Yao on the phone, Lu Jinguang directly took the Louvre in Paris and his party to the courtyard.

After walking through the courtyard and learning about the magnanimity and luxury of the courtyard, Abraham, the head of the Louvre in Paris, frowned slightly, and he felt that his task this time might not be so easy to complete.

Although he has not yet met Xiao Yao, he has already learned from the information that Xiao Yao is a rich man, which can be confirmed from the vast luxury of the courtyard.

If Xiao Yao was a painter living in poverty, he would definitely hold on to the olive branch handed by the Louvre. As long as the Louvre in Paris is not asking too much, it should be an easy thing to win the other party's work.

It's just that Xiao Yao is a rich man, so it's difficult to do.

For a rich man who lives a rich life and is not short of money, it must be very difficult to impress him.

After introducing each other's identities in the living room, Abraham said straight to the point: "Mr. Xiao, we at the Louvre in Paris are very optimistic about your works, and hope to introduce your works into our Louvre Museum in Paris and preserve them forever. ”

"I am very honoured to have Mr. Abraham and the Louvre in Paris. It is a great honor for any painter to have his work selected for the Louvre in Paris, and I am no exception. ”

Xiao Yao changed his words, "However, I don't think it's a good time to talk about this matter." I'm still very young and I haven't created a lot of work, so if I postpone it for a few years and talk about collaboration, maybe we will have more and better options. ”

"No, no, no, I don't think so. Abraham shook his head repeatedly, "True art is the product of inspiration, time can age it, but it can't pile up art." There is no doubt that the four works exhibited by Mr. Xiao at the exhibition are all masterpieces of contemporary art and have been widely praised by the art world. So, you don't have to be modest, and you don't have to wait until a few years from now, when a masterpiece like this should be in a museum for the public to see. ”

"I'm not modest, these four works are all the result of my hard work, you know, I'm not short of money, so I'm going to collect these four works myself, and I have no intention of selling them. ”

Xiao Yao said apologetically: "Let Mr. Abraham run for nothing, I'm very sorry, I'll ask Mr. Abraham to have a good time in Kyoto these days, and Mr. Lu can be your guide." ”

For Xiao Yao's refusal, Abraham had already been prepared, and his only way now was to give sincerity in the price.

After a slight groan, Abraham said: "Mr. Xiao, don't be busy refusing yet, our Louvre in Paris is very sincere, you can just listen to our offer." ”
