Chapter 230: The Shock Begins
After a few moments, Benjamin said in a voice that was almost trembling:
"After identification, we have come to the exact same conclusion that these two paintings, Mont Sainte-Victoire and Boy in a Red Vest, are indeed the work of the post-impressionist master Paul Cézanne!
These are two outstanding post-impressionist oil paintings, which are representative works of post-impressionist art and the pinnacle of painting art, with unparalleled artistic charm and market value,......"
Benjamin praised the two paintings as much as he could, and used all the beautiful words he could think of here, which was exaggerated to the point of overflowing the sky!'
Even with his exaggeration, no one at the scene interrupted him. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Because everyone thinks that what he said is very right, and even praise is not enough!
Listening to these beautiful words, Ye Tianshuang was extremely cool, and his face was about to laugh!
Finally, Benjamin may have said that he was thirsty, and put an end to the conclusion.
Simon then appeared, he pounced directly on Ye Tian's side, and said excitedly:
"Steven, you must entrust the auction rights of these two paintings to Sotheby's, and we will give you the best conditions, just like that piece of dog's head gold.
We will do our best to promote these two paintings and maximize their influence, and we will definitely be able to fetch the highest prices and maybe set a new auction record!"
In the face of this series of bombardments, Ye Tian said with a relaxed smile:
"Simon, don't worry, since I have called you here, I am ready to entrust these two oil paintings to Sotheby's, the previous cooperation has been very pleasant, and I have no idea of changing the auction house.
I believe that as soon as the news of the re-appearance of these two oil paintings and the autumn auction in New York spreads, the entire art collecting market will be completely shaken.
When the auction begins, it will be a great event and a great event! I don't have to worry about the price of these two paintings, there are too many rich people! How many people can own Paul Cézanne?"
Simon smiled with relief, as did the rest of the Sotheby's experts.
At this time, they had already foreseen the grand occasion of Sotheby's autumn auctions.
As long as you have money in your pocket and are interested in post-impressionist oil paintings, no one will miss this kind of event, and the auction scene will be extremely fierce and crazy!
In addition to the excitement, Simon asked another question, which is very important.
"Steven, can you explain the origin of these two paintings? The New York Autumn Auction is a public sale, and if there is any doubt about the provenance of the artworks, we are unlikely to put them up for auction.
These two paintings are so famous! they are very interesting, and the fact that they were last seen in Paris 25 years ago, and now they suddenly appear in New York, will certainly raise a lot of questions!"
I know that you have this worry, buddy has been ready for a long time!
YE TIAN SMILED SOFTLY, TOOK THE IPAD ON THE TABLE, CALLED UP THE VIDEO SCREEN RECORDED BEFORE, AND THEN HANDED THE IPAD TO SIMON.
"After looking at this video, you will fully understand the origin of these two paintings, and I have no doubt about their ownership, and no one can deny it!
I have checked the global art theft catalog, and I have not found any information about these two oil paintings, which means that these two oil paintings are not stolen oil paintings!"
"It's true that these two paintings are not on the looting catalog, but we still want to find out where they came from, these two paintings are too heavy! Don't dare to be sloppy! Let me take a look at the video first!"
SIMON TOOK HIS IPAD AND STARTED WATCHING THE VIDEO.
He was full of curiosity, what kind of video screen could confirm the origin of these two paintings!
The three experts were also very curious, and they also leaned their heads over to watch the video together.
As the video began to play, exclamations quickly filled the living room, and Simon's eyes flew out.
"Oh my God! These two paintings have been hidden in New York! It's incredible!"
"It's such a wonderful story, and it's sure to attract the attention of countless people!"
"Steven is so lucky that such a hidden wall can be discovered!"
Seeing the shocked expressions of Sotheby's and others, Ye Tian and Sophie both laughed softly, and their laughter was full of pride.
We are the discoverers of these two top paintings!
Ten minutes later, the video ended, Simon and the others all raised their heads to look at Ye Tian, and several people were almost crazy with envy!
"Steven, you are definitely the luckiest guy in the world, and good luck seems to always be with you!"
"Hahaha, my luck is indeed very good, this cannot be denied! I want to thank the original owner of this apartment, the famous French painter!"
Ye Tian said with a smile, very proud.
"Hahaha, you should be thankful that he traveled all the way to bring these two oil paintings to New York, but in the end they ended up in your hands, and it didn't cost anything!"
Simon shook his head and smiled, his eyes full of incredulity.
"This video, as well as the physical evidence of related people, I believe it is enough to explain the origin of these two oil paintings, right?"
The laughter fell, and Ye Tian asked with a relaxed expression.
"It's completely sufficient! These pieces of evidence are too strong for anyone to deny! Steven, you can sign a commission contract, right?"
Simon answered in the affirmative, and immediately prepared to win the auction rights, so that he could sit back and relax.
Ye Tian shook his head and said with a smile:
"The contract will be signed later, you take the film crew to the study with me, and take pictures of the wall trap, let's make the evidence more solid, this can stop everyone's mouth!"
"You're such a shrewd fellow, you're a good guy! No wonder you're constantly making a fortune! That's why you asked us to bring a film crew!"
Simon said in amazement, and directly gave Ye Tian a thumbs up.
The rest of the experts were also amazed and completely convinced of this meticulous mind.
Subsequently, Ye Tian walked into the study with Sotheby's and the film crew, and began to introduce the discovery process of the sandwich wall and the two oil paintings in front of the camera again.
Under the lens of a professional camera, the ingenious design and secrecy of this sandwich wall are vividly expressed, and it also highlights Ye Tian's good luck.
After filming, everyone went downstairs and returned to the living room.
Subsequently, Ye Tian and Simon, witnessed by the lawyers of both parties, began to sign the entrusted auction contract.
Meanwhile.
Betty posted the video of the excavation of the treasure online, and began to use this video to shake up the entire art collecting market, building momentum for the auction of these two paintings!
After signing the consignment auction contract, Ye Tian handed over the two oil paintings to Simon.
Then, he made an appointment with Simon to hold a press conference tomorrow.
Tomorrow is the kotou gold preview day, and the two things can be put together, so the sensational effect caused by the superposition will undoubtedly be greater!
After agreeing on this, Simon and the others got up and took their leave.
Escorted by armed security, they were on high alert all the way back to Sotheby's without a moment's delay!
With two oil paintings worth nearly 100 million US dollars, their hearts are in their throats, how dare they stay outside for too long?
It wasn't until they were sent to the high-security lot vault that they were completely relieved and relieved, and then began to celebrate.
And in Ye Tian's apartment, the celebration has already begun!
Ten minutes after Sotheby's and his group left, food from the Plaza Hotel on 59th Street, across from Central Park, was delivered to the apartment.
"Bang!"
Ye Tian pressed his thumb hard, and the cork of Cook Champagne rushed out directly, and small champagne bubbles immediately overflowed from the bottle, and the restaurant was suddenly filled with the soft and light aroma of top champagne.
"Let's party!
“Cheers!“
In the blink of an eye, this luxurious restaurant was completely overwhelmed by the taste of victory, the joy of success!
In the outside world, on the Internet, in the field of art collection, the entire Western oil painting world, and countless top museums, they have been completely shocked at this time.
The reason for this shock is a video of the Internet that has just appeared!
