Chapter 1625: A Special Painting

Calmette looked at the lyrical abstract painting again, and a look of suspicion flashed in his eyes again.

Those thoughts just now resurfaced in his mind again, and he fell into a hesitant dilemma.

Ye Tian looked at him with a smile on his face, waiting for Calmette to make a decision, and behaved very relaxed.

After confirming that the painting was in the style of lyrical abstraction, and then seeing the content of the painting, some onlookers who thought they knew how to do it lost interest in the painting!

As for those who know little about the art of painting and the history of Western art, they are curious to look at the painting and the excitement, and they don't know the mystery at all.

After pondering for a moment, Calmette raised his head and looked at Ye Tian and said:

"Steven, these two paintings can be sold as a bundle, but the price is not 5,000 euros, but 6,000 euros, I don't know if you can accept it? If you can accept it, then it can be sold now."

However, Ye Tian diverted the topic at this time and did not immediately finalize the art deal.

"Calmette, can you tell us about the origin of this painting, how can you have a lyrical abstract painting in your hand?

"Okay, Steven, as I said before, I'm not only a professional painter, but also an art trader, and this is a painting I received!

The original owner of the painting was an old retired man who had come to Nice to enjoy his old age, and at the beginning of the year, the old man passed away, leaving behind some relics.

The painting in front of me is one of the relics, and the old man's family sold this painting to me when they disposed of the relics, and the source is legal, no problem!"

Calmette explained a few words, which sounded reasonable.

It's good that the origin is legitimate, or that there is an explanation!

"In that case, then no problem, six thousand euros, deal! Calmette, I want these two paintings!"

Ye Tian nodded with a smile and stretched out his right hand.

Calmette glanced at Ye Tian deeply, then looked at his rock-like right hand, then gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and directly shook hands with Ye Tian and reached a deal.

"Okay, Steven, deal, six thousand euros, these two paintings are all yours, congratulations on two nice works of art!"

"I also want to congratulate you, Calmette, for making this business a good one!"

Ye Tian said politely, but his heart was already happy.

Next, Ye Tian took out his wallet and took out six thousand euros from it, handed it to Calmette, and completed the art transaction.

At the same time, he did not forget to ask Calmette to issue a certificate, which Antoine witnessed on the spot, so as not to be troubled by the customs authorities when he passed through the French customs with the two paintings.

After going through all the procedures, Ye Tian shook hands with Calmette again, and was ready to leave and go to the next antique stall.

At this moment, Calmette asked curiously:

"Steven, can you tell me about your appraisal of that lyrical abstract painting? I don't quite understand, why did you buy that painting? Is there any mystery in that?"

Ye Tian glanced at the Nice painter, then shook his head with a smile and said:

"Calmette, since you have successfully sold these two paintings, it is better to leave them behind completely, and stop dwelling on them, as that will do nothing good and will only ruin your mood.

The most important thing you should do right now is to enjoy the joy of a successful transaction, and although I have some opinions about this lyrical abstract painting, I am not very sure.

Whether I am right or not needs to be further identified and verified, nothing is known, so that's it, Calmette, and I wish you a nice and enjoyable day!"

After speaking, Ye Tian took the two paintings and Betty with him, turned around and walked to the next antique stall, ready to continue the treasure hunt.

And Calmette, who stayed in place, had a little pale face and a little remorse in his eyes!

At this time, although he had 6,000 euros more in his pocket, he couldn't be happy.

He had a very bad feeling that just now, he might have been ransacked by that bastard Steven, missing out on a top piece of art and missing out on the biggest fortune of his life!

However, no matter how much he tried to break his head, he couldn't figure out what the value of that lyrical abstract painting was!

The goods on the second antique stall are lackluster, mostly handicrafts, and some worthless antiques that are not worth stopping and admiring, let alone mentioning!

Ye Tian quickly glanced at the goods on the stall, then walked forward with Betty and walked towards the next stall.

It was only at this point that Betty finally couldn't suppress her strong curiosity and asked in a low voice:

"My dear, if I'm not mistaken, this lyrical abstract painting must be a top-notch work of art, right?

Ye Tian turned his head to look at his wife, who was full of curiosity, and then nodded with a smile.

"Yes, this lyrical abstract painting is indeed a top-notch work of art, both in terms of artistic value and market value, which is extraordinary and rare to see!

According to my preliminary identification, this is probably a painting by Kandinsky, the founder of abstraction and a famous Russian painter, and it is a work at the peak of his art in his later years.

If my conclusion is correct, given the market conditions for Kandinsky's works at his peak, this lyrical abstract painting should be worth no less than 10 million dollars.

Of course, my findings have yet to be verified, and I'll do it again when I get back to New York, but whatever the result, I really like the painting."

Having said that, Ye Tian was extremely sure of his appraisal conclusion, and it was impossible to make a mistake at all!

Needless to say, this is an outstanding painting by the master Kandinsky, a veritable work of art of the highest value!

The dozen or twenty enchanting halos on this painting are the most perfect and accurate proof of this.

As soon as he walked to the entrance of the antique market, Ye Tian found the painting at a glance and made an accurate judgment.

That's why he walked to the Calmette booth and put on a good show and won the painting successfully!

As for the realistic landscape painting depicting the beauty of Angel Bay, it is just a façade and has no value!

"Wow! It's a top-notch work of art at the level of tens of millions of dollars, and it is an outstanding work by the master artist Kandinsky, this is crazy!"

Betty exclaimed directly in a low voice, and she was so excited that she was about to dance.

Not only her, but also Taylor and Lisa, as well as Antoine next to her, were also excited when they heard Ye Tian's words, and almost cheered.

For the appraisal conclusion given by Ye Tian, they did not have the slightest doubt at all, but they were extremely convinced!

When did Steven look at it? Not once, and this time it couldn't be an exception!

After exclaiming, Betty lowered her voice curiously and asked:

"Since it is a painting by the master artist Kandinsky, how can Kalmet not know him? He is also a professional painter and an antique dealer, so he should have a certain ability to appreciate it!"

Ye Tian slowed down, turned his head to look at Betty, and then at Taylor and the others, and then explained in a low voice with a smile:

"Not only Calmette, but most of the world's antique experts are probably unable to identify it, and this painting is a special case because it is a lyrical abstract painting.

There are many masters of abstraction, such as Kandinsky, Mondrian, Malevich, etc., but when it comes to lyrical abstraction, the real master of art is only Kandinsky.

During Kandinsky's life, his artistic style was very varied, and he experienced Impressionism, the New Decorative Movement, the Bauhaus Movement, Abstractionism, and Expressionism.

In his later years, it was another peak of Kandinsky's artistic career, and he created lyrical abstract painting, also known as Kandinskyism, which caused a great sensation.

Because there is only one master of lyrical abstraction, when people find a good lyrical abstract painting, they will naturally think, is this Kandinsky's work?

If it is identified as a Kandinsky painting, it will naturally multiply its value and cause a sensation, and if it is not identified as his work, then the value of the painting will not be mentioned.

After Kandinsky emigrated from Germany to France in 1933, he lived in Paris, and no one knows whether he had ever been to Nice and painted such a remarkable painting.

Because of this, Calmette and many other antique art experts mistakenly believe that this is not a Kandinsky painting, but just a imitation of a work of average value!

As it turns out, Kandinsky not only came to Nice, but also created a very outstanding painting here, and as a creator of beauty, how could he be willing to miss the beauty of Nice!

Coincidentally, the day before we left New York, I spent four or five hours at the Guggenheim Museum, which is home to the largest collection of Kandinsky's work!

At the Guggenheim Museum in New York, I saw a lot of Kandinsky's paintings, and one or two of them were very close to the one in front of me, so I thought they were Kandinsky's works."

This is a plausible and impeccable statement, and no one can find a loophole to doubt it.

Looking at Betty and the others again, they were almost stupid, everyone nodded frequently, and their eyes were full of admiration and envy!

Next, Ye Tian explained a few more words before ending the topic.

Wait for everyone's mood to calm down a little. Ye Tian led everyone forward and continued to sweep the largest antique market in the south of France, and swept the wealth madly!
