Chapter 18: Rodin's Thinker (Recommend, Collect, Click)

Hearing the angry scolding from behind him, Ye Tian also laughed happily a few times, he deserved it!

The stall owner also laughed, and his evaluation of Garcia was only two words: stupid. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

As for Ye Tian, who was smiling as proudly as stealing a chicken, the stall owner gave an old fox evaluation.

Chase away the flies, it's time for a treasure hunt!

Suppressing the laughter, Ye Tian immediately stretched out his hand to the target that had already been determined, and said to the stall owner with a smile:

"Hello, can you take a look at this Rodin thinker?"

The stall owner smiled and nodded in agreement.

"Please, but be careful when moving, this is a marble sculpture, and the weight is not light"

"I know, I'll be careful"

Ye Tian responded, stretched out his hands and moved the sculpture in front of him.

It's really heavy to start with, and it's full of weight!

Then Ye Tian began to observe carefully.

That's right! This is Rodin's thinker, the thinker who is seen as a symbol of the power to transform the world!

Of course, this is by no means genuine, and the size does not match.

The thinkers of the original are hidden in the Louvre and the Musée Rodin, respectively, and it is impossible to appear in the United States, even the Met displays are replicas.

Although it is a reproduction, it does not mean that it has no value, as long as it is from the hands of a famous artist, it is a masterpiece and has extraordinary artistic value.

The sculpture in front of me shines with white light, showing that it is from around 1920, surrounded by seven or eight layers of halos, indicating that the artistic value is very high, and it must have been created by a famous artist.

There are no major flaws in the appearance of the sculpture, only some small bump marks, which do not affect the appearance and value.

This is not what Ye Tian is most concerned about, what he wants to know most now is who is the author of this sculpture?

But it is a pity that the sculpture was turned upside down, and not even half a word was found, obviously the famous artist did not sign, or because it was a copy, he did not want to sign.

Seeing this situation, Ye Tian suddenly sighed in his heart.

Without signatures and special markings, and if there were no documentary records and no order of inheritance, the sculpture would never have fetched for a high price, even if it had a lot of artistic value!

No wonder it was overlooked, thrown in a corner and left unattended, for a replica with no origin, it is inevitable.

A little disappointed, but there were more surprises!

In the eyes of others, this thinker is indeed of little value, even a burden.

But it is very valuable in Ye Tian's eyes, although it can't be sold, but it can't be used to experiment with eye abilities!

After inspecting the whole body, Ye Tian began to ask the stall owner for a price.

"What's the price of this sculpture? I'm missing a tasteful sculpture at home, this one is good, I want to buy it."

The stall owner's eyes lit up, and he finally had a chance to dispose of this heavy garbage.

He immediately offered a price, which was very realistic.

"$200, that's the cost of marble, and our hard work, that's a very reasonable price!"

Ye Tian was immediately overjoyed, but he didn't immediately nod his head and agreed, ready to make a counteroffer.

Just then, Garcia and his friends happened to pass by the stall, intending to leave.

Seeing them, Ye Tian immediately laughed and said loudly:

"Garcia, aren't you going to bid this time? I'm going to buy again, Rodin thinker! Famous sculpture! Wouldn't it be a pity to miss it! If you bid, I'll give it to you!"

"Hahaha"

Everyone around them burst into laughter.

Then everyone looked at Garcia to see how he replied.

"Bastard, I don't take garbage! Especially such a heavy garbage, I'll leave it to you, if you want to appreciate thinkers, I'll go to Paris, idiot!"

Garcia scolded angrily, hurt Ye Tian a few more words, and then left with his friends.

And he still has today's harvest in his hands, the King of Pirates Telescope and the Oscar statuette!

"It's not like a Mexican cowboy!

Ye Tian laughed loudly and said again, continuing to stimulate Garcia.

"**** bastard!"

Garcia let out an angry curse, and at the same time raised the middle finger of his right hand high, and left without looking back!

Several friends around him did the same, and they all gestured their middle fingers at Ye Tian.

"Hahaha"

There was another burst of laughter.

After the laughter, the people dispersed, setting up stalls and shopping.

Ye Tian turned his head with a smile and continued to bargain with the stall owner.

"$200 is too expensive! It's a reproduction, and it's not signed by the author, it's not worth anything at all, I'll only pay $100 at most, and if I can, I'll pay for it now."

Ye Tian's counter-offer tone was categorical, with an expression of withdrawal if he couldn't do it.

"OK, $100, deal!"

The stall owner did not hesitate and immediately nodded in agreement.

The speed is as fast as a hot potato, for fear that Ye Tian will regret it.

"Deal!"

Ye Tian shook the other party's hand with a smile and reached a deal.

Then he pulled out a sheet of Franklin and handed it to the other party, pocketing the unknown sculptor's thinker and turning it into his own psychic experiment.

Next, it's hard work.

After saying hello to the stall owner, he took the heavy thinker back to Jason and their stall, ready to leave it here first, and take a taxi to take it away when he left.

Seeing Ye Tian bring back such a sculpture with no origin, especially when he heard that it was bought for $100, Jason and Miranda were a little crying and laughing, this is completely collecting garbage, it is a treasure hunt!

But they didn't say anything, after all, it had nothing to do with them.

After setting up the thinkers and chatting a few words, Ye Tian left the second-hand store stall and then swept the Chelsea flea market.

But good luck seems to have been taken away by Garcia and them, and after that he never found an opportunity to shine in his eyes, only picked up a few worthless gadgets from the thirties and forties, and found nothing for the rest.

As for the shining treasures on the many antique stalls, he could only sigh with admiration, and there was no chance that the price would be high.

Soon it was past four o'clock in the afternoon, not long before the market closed.

Most of the stalls have already been browsed, except for a few modern painting stalls, at the westernmost end of the market, right next to Madison Park.

The stalls are full of modern oil paintings, most of which are the work of students from various art schools in New York, and there are no famous painters.

Painters with a little fame and potential have long been signed to their respective banners by galleries all over New York, and their works may end up in street flea markets.

Ye Tian came here with an appreciative mentality, and did not want to find any world famous paintings here.

In fact, as he expected, in his eyes, there was not a single shining work on the art stall, and even if there was a halo and a certain artistic value, there was no need to make a move.

After seeing two art stalls in succession, he came to the third one.

When he walked here, he hadn't even started to look at the oil paintings, but he saw a familiar figure.

The downstairs neighbor, Betty, is a sexy blonde beauty who has just graduated from college and is now an elementary school teacher in Brooklyn.

At this time, she was with a friend, a black pearl, very beautiful, and the two were discussing an oil painting in front of them in a low voice

"Hey!

Ye Tian walked over and said hello.

Hearing the greeting, Betty immediately turned her head to look.

Seeing that it was Ye Tian, a hint of surprise immediately flashed in her eyes, but she quickly returned to normal.

"Hey, Steven, what a coincidence, you're visiting the flea market too?"

"It's a coincidence, I came to shop when I was idle, I didn't expect to meet you here"

Ye Tian explained with a smile.

"Introduction, my friend and college classmate, Jennifer"

Betty introduced the black pearl beside her.

"Hello, I'm Steven, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"I'm Jennifer and I'm so happy to meet you"

They shook each other's hands, and then the three of them started talking.

"Betty, you're going to buy an oil painting? I just saw you guys talking about this painting."

Ye Tian asked, pointing to the oil painting in front of him.

"Yes, I want to buy one for my family, but I haven't decided to buy that one yet, so I can help me give some advice?"

Betty smiled and nodded, and politely mentioned it casually, but she didn't take it seriously, who knows if Ye Tian understands oil painting!

"Okay!"

Ye Tian responded, and then began to observe the paintings here.

In terms of oil painting appreciation, Ye Tian is a pure layman, but he can't stand his ability to see the artistic value of paintings!

Less than ten seconds after Betty's words fell, Ye Tian made a judgment, pointed to an impressionist oil painting next to him and said:

"I think this impressionist oil painting is good, and it is very suitable to send it to my family"

His tone was very affirmative, based on the halo on the painting, of course.

In this stall, and even in the surrounding stalls, this is one of the finest modern oil paintings.

"Really, I'll see."

Betty glanced at the painting suspiciously, as did Jennifer.

When their eyes lingered on the painting for a few seconds, they also realized that the painting seemed better, and the two of them immediately moved over to the other side, ready to take a closer look.

Ye Tian was ready to leave at this time, this flea market had been completely swept away, and it was time to go back and get it!

More importantly, he wanted to go back and use today's harvest to study the ability of his eyes and strive to be able to take full control of it as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, he even couldn't wait.

"Betty, Jennifer, keep admiring, I've got something to go, see you later!"

"Okay, see you later"

After saying goodbye, Ye Tian turned around and left quickly.

"Tell me honestly, what is your relationship with this handsome Chinese guy?

As soon as Ye Tian left, Jennifer immediately revealed her true form, and laughed in a low voice.

"We're neighbors, we don't have anything to do with him, he lives upstairs from me, and we just meet him often, do you have a crush on him? If so, I can help you date him, as far as I know, he's single now."

Betty shot back in a low voice, and the two beauties immediately made a mess, completely forgetting the oil painting in front of them!

After returning to the second-hand stall, Ye Tian chatted with Jason and them for a few words, then took a taxi and left with the thinker, and returned directly to his home in Brooklyn.

As for the origin of the antique tableware, Benny has not yet given an answer, so he can only continue to wait, believing that it will not be long before the answer will be revealed.

Sitting in the taxi, Ye Tian kept looking at the statue beside him, the seven or eight layers of halo on the statue, he was full of temptation at this time.

At this time, there was only one question in his mind,

Will you be able to figure out the eye ability this time? or even control it!
