"Ye Tian, it's really dark for you kid to start, but who makes me like this Xuande blue and white twined branch lotus pattern plum bottle, I quote 15.5 million yuan, I hope to win this treasure as I wish"

A top collector in the audience said with a wry smile helplessly, and gave his own offer.

As soon as his words fell, an exclamation sounded at the scene.

"Wow! Fifteen million and a half million yuan, just to buy a broken Xuande blue and white plum vase?

"Today can be regarded as an eye-opener, this is called a top collector, tens of millions of yuan is not a matter in the eyes of others, which is like us, tens of thousands of yuan have to be carefully considered"

Most of the people who exclaimed were non-professionals, and this had happened more than once.

At this time, the auction of this Xuande blue and white plum vase has come to the fifth round, that is, the free bidding stage.

After the previous four rounds of bidding, Ye Tian had raised the price of this Xuande blue and white plum vase to 10 million yuan, and the fifth round of free bidding was launched on the basis of 10 million yuan.

Before this top collector, there were already seven or eight buyers who made their own offers, and each one of them caused a stir on the scene.

And 15.5 million yuan, which is the highest offer so far, has attracted the most exclamations.

In an exclamation, Ye Tian nodded to the top collector in the audience with a smile and said:

"Thank you for your support, Mr. Wang, and I also hope that you can get what you wish and take this Xuande blue and white lotus plum vase and add another heavyweight to your collection room.

Although this Xuande blue and white plum vase is a wreckage, the damage is at the bottom, and on the surface, there is no flaw at all, and it does not affect the daily appreciation and display.

No matter who wins this competition today and successfully wins this Xuande blue and white plum vase, I can say with great certainty that he definitely picked up a big bargain and received a treasure!"

Hearing his words, Mr. Wang, who was sitting in the audience, and all the other professionals nodded in agreement, and there was no disagreement.

It was when they saw the value of this Xuande blue and white plum vase that they participated in the bidding, and every competitor wanted to win this rare piece of antique porcelain.

As he spoke, the picture on the big screen on the scene had changed again, and an entrepreneur sitting at another table gave a new offer.

"16,480,000 RMB, this is my offer"

With the release of this offer, there was an exclamation at the scene again.

Next, several professionals gave their own offers and joined the competition for this Xuande blue and white twined branch lotus plum vase.

And the offers they gave were high and low, and caused a commotion after a commotion at the scene.

It didn't take long for the professionals who were interested in competing for this Xuande blue and white twined branch lotus plum vase to give their respective offers.

Next, the lens of the on-site camera was aimed at Ye Tian, and everyone on the scene also looked at him, expecting him to announce the final result of this auction.

Especially the professionals who participated in the bidding, everyone's eyes were extremely hot and a little apprehensive, and everyone was looking forward to hearing the best answers.

Ye Tian, who was standing behind the auction table, quickly glanced at the scene, then raised the auction hammer in his hand with a smile and fell down again.

"Bang!"

At the same time, he also loudly announced the results of the auction.

"15.76 million yuan, the transaction, the winning bidder is the famous collector Mr. Qian, congratulations to Mr. Qian, successfully won this Ming Xuande blue and white entwined branch lotus plum vase"

When the words fell, Mr. Qian, who was sitting in the audience, immediately waved his arms excitedly to celebrate.

Immediately afterwards, the top collector in China stood up, clasped his fists with both hands and arched his hand at Ye Tian, and then arched his hand at the rest of his peers on the scene, and said a few polite words.

Those buyers who failed to bid sighed softly regretfully, and then quickly adjusted their emotions and gestured to Mr. Qian to congratulate them.

The professionals who attended this wedding banquet are all well-known figures in the field of antique art collection, and have seen countless big scenes, so naturally they will not show their emotions on their faces because of the success or failure of an auction.

Joy and anger are invisible, and for them, it is just the most basic quality.

Without waiting for Mr. Qian to sit down, a notary public sitting behind the notary table got up and announced the upper limit of the transaction price of this Xuande blue and white twined branch lotus plum vase.

The upper limit of the transaction price set by Ye Tian for this Xuande blue and white plum vase is 15.78 million yuan, which is only 20,000 yuan higher than the price given by Mr. Qian, and the difference is very small!

Hearing this upper limit of the transaction price, Mr. Qian, who was standing in the audience, suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and secretly rejoiced.

The other competitors shook their heads and sighed regretfully, but they had to accept the result and set their sights on the next antique artwork to be unveiled.

The first antique artwork in the third round was successfully auctioned, and Ye Tian was naturally very satisfied with this result.

Next, it's time for a second antique artwork to be unveiled.

At this time, everyone in the banquet hall had already guessed that the next thing to appear on the stage would be an antique art from the West, and it would be worth a lot of money.

Its value is likely to be comparable to or even higher than the Xuande blue and white twined lotus plum vase that has just been auctioned.

But what exactly is this Western antique art, which artist made it, what era it came from, what kind of artistic style it is, and how much it is worth?

Just as everyone was guessing and discussing with great interest, Ye Tian, who was standing behind the auction table, nodded lightly to the two employees of the company under him, and motioned for them to show the next antique artwork that was auctioned.

The two company employees nodded in response, and then went into action.

They picked up a painting bag from the unauctioned items, opened it, carefully removed a painting from it, and placed it on a display shelf in front of the auction table.

As everyone suspected, this is a Western work of art.

What is presented in front of everyone's eyes is an oil painting on canvas, small in size, no more than 40 centimeters wide and more than 50 centimeters high, mounted in a delicate cherry wood frame.

This is a still life sketch of a pot of gladiolus in full bloom, placed on a table in front of the window, and the sun shines through the window on the pot of gladiolus and the table.

The painting looks like an impressionist work, but it is plausible, and it has a bit of post-impressionism and color separation.

To be more precise, the painter's painting techniques were heavily influenced by Impressionism, Post-Impressionism, and Separationism, and thus formed his own very unique style.

The pot of gladiolus bathed in the sun on this painting, although delicate and blooming, and intensely colored, gives people a subtle and romantic feeling, although it is a still life sketch, the whole painting is full of poetry.

At the same time that the painting was put on the display shelf, a series of close-ups of the painting were also given on the large-screen TV on the scene, and the picture was very clear.

The scene was quiet again, and everyone was admiring the painting and the poetry that the painter showed with his brush.

After only a moment of appreciation, the scene resounded with admiration and discussion.

"This still life is so beautiful, I don't know whose painting it is?"

"To be honest, this style of still life sketching is really rare, this painter should be a famous art master, as for this painting, it must be worth a lot of money!"

While there was a lot of discussion, everyone was speculating about who the artist who created the painting, and the professionals who were on the scene were also whispering or secretly speculating.

As the top collectors and antique art appraisal experts in China, they do not know much about the relevant knowledge and appraisal of Western artworks, and they are inevitably confused.

Even some of the top collectors who have made a name for themselves in the international auction market, such as Mr. Liu from Shanghai, can't tell which artist is working on the painting when they see it.

Just when everyone was puzzled, Ye Tianqing's voice came again, and it clearly reached the ears of everyone at the scene.

"The still life you see today is strictly a mixture of color separation and impressionism, and it was designed by the famous Italian painter Caesar Monti of the 20th century.

You may not know about the famous Italian painter of the 20th century, Caesar Monti, but here, I think it is necessary to give a brief introduction so that you can better appreciate this painting."

Speaking of which, there was nothing unusual about the non-professionals at the scene, only a few guests who knew Caesar Monty had a hint of surprise on their faces.

On the contrary, the eyes of many professionals on the scene instantly lit up and were full of excitement.

Especially Mr. Liu, who is from Shanghai, has a flash of ecstasy in his eyes, and Ye Tian sees it really clearly and clearly.

Ye Tian just smiled softly and continued his performance.

"Caesar Monti is a legendary Italian painter and a leading figure in the Italian art movement of the 20th century, and has an extremely important place in the history of Western art.

At the Venice Biennale, one of the world's three most famous art exhibitions, Caesar Monti is the only artist to have been invited to participate in the Venice Biennale for 14 consecutive times.

The Venice Biennale even set aside a special room for 28 of his paintings, a special treat that had never been done before, and caused a huge sensation.

Caesar Monti has also been named one of the twenty-five greatest painters in the history of the Venice Biennale, and he is also the artist with the highest value in the work of the XXII Venice Biennale.

You may have heard that Mr. Liu, a top collector in Shanghai, spent nearly 1.1 billion yuan two years ago to auction a work by the famous painter Modigliani in New York.

In the Italian art world, Caesar Monti and Modigliani are known as the pride of Italy and the twin stars of the Italian art world, and the two of them are also a pair of close friends!

At the same time, Modigliani is also the idol of Caesar Monti, and Modigliani's shadow can be seen in many of Caesar Monti's paintings, and this painting is one of them"

Speaking of this, Ye Tian raised his hand to Mr. Liu in the audience.

Mr. Liu, who was sitting in the audience, immediately stood up and nodded to him, then nodded to the people around him, and then sat down again.

Unsurprisingly, the scene boiled again, and exclamations rang out one after another.

Everyone was amazed by Mr. Liu's generosity, and also amazed by Caesar Monti's position in the history of Western art!
