Chapter 1387: A Lover's Gift

Waiting for the laughter to subside slightly, Ye Tian continued:

After introducing the painter Susanna, let's talk about this oil painting, everything that this oil painting shows accurately reflects Susanna's painting style, fanatical and passionate.

Suzanne paints like a madman, and she paints sketches not to be framed, but to capture the turbulent, stressful moments of life.

She paints without any creativity, always curiously and precisely trying to put the shape of the human body into her stiff and sharp brushwork, but always subtly harmonious.

Although her painting technique is a bit stiff, her expression is bright and powerful, and she is a rare painter with a unique masculine style that dominates all feelings with the will.

Suzanne did not admit that she had any teachers, and in fact she did have nothing in common with all the great painters who modeled on her, and she only agreed that she was inspired by Gauguin's technique.

Unfortunately, Susanne's paintings, despite their reputation in the critics' circles, did not sell well, and for a time sold for only three francs, while her son's paintings always sold for a sky-high price,......"

While explaining, Ye Tian had already turned on the perspective, admiring the secrets hidden behind this painting, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes from time to time.

Underneath Susanna's painting lies a slightly smaller canvas stretched on a solid wood panel, perfectly covered by Susanna's painting.

There is a white cloth between the two paintings, separating the two paintings, so that no flaws can be seen on the surface!

The hidden oil painting is an outstanding painting at the height of Gauguin, and it is also an undoubted top work of art, valued at least more than 25 million dollars!

And this is the real reason why Ye Tian stopped and stopped in front of Susanna's oil painting for a long time!

The first moment he walked into this gallery, Ye Tian saw this oil painting at a glance, the nearly twenty layers of charming halo on Gauguin's paintings, and his eyes were a little dizzy!

Although Susanna's painting is not bad, the author's signature clearly visible in the lower right corner of the painting has eliminated all the possibility of missing it!

Regarding this point, not only Ye Tian is clear, but the gallery owner is also like a mirror in his heart!

But there is something else underneath Susanna's paintings, and there is no doubt that this is another shocking leak, enough to cause quite a stir!

If it weren't for the hidden Gauguin paintings, Ye Tian would have already left, how could he have the heart to stay here for so long.

Who is Gauguin? As I have said before, he is one of the three famous post-impressionist masters and one of Susanne's former lovers.

From this point of view, it is normal for Suzanne to have Gauguin's paintings!

What's more, the outstanding painting of Gauguin in Ye Tian's eyes, the figure depicted is the dancing Suzanne Valadon, maybe it is a token of love given by Gauguin to Susanna!

After thoroughly looking at the two paintings inside and outside, Ye Tian retracted his gaze and ended the perspective.

After explaining this Suzanne painting and quietly admiring it for a while, Ye Tian turned his head to look at the gallery owner and asked with a smile:

"Monsieur Albert, what is the price of this painting of Susanna? I have only seen Susanna's painting in museums before, but I have never seen it on the market!

I didn't want to miss a painting by Susanna, and if the price was reasonable, I would like to take it!"

Hearing this, the gallery owner Albert did not immediately give an offer, but walked over and took a few suspicious glances at Susanna's painting!

It's a pity that he has studied that oil painting many times, and he hasn't found anything abnormal before, and it's the same at this time, everything is the same!

After retracting his gaze, Albert thought for a moment before giving an offer for the painting.

"One hundred and fifty thousand euros, Mr. Steven, if you can accept the price, this Susanna's painting is yours"

Ye Tian shook his head slightly, and then returned an offer.

"It's too high a price for me to accept, and although Suzanne is a celebrity in the history of modern art, it's because of her ambiguous relationships with many great artists.

As a painter, the antique art market did not welcome her works very well, both during her lifetime and after her death, and the price of Susanna's paintings never rose!

I'm a businessman, not a collector of antique art at all costs, for me it's a business, and since it's a business, of course follow the market value!

This is my offer, and with my knowledge of the market for Susanna's paintings, this is already a very rare high price, I wonder if you can accept it?"

After speaking, Ye Tian looked at Albert with a smile on his face, waiting for the other party to make a decision.

Albert was silent and began to think about it.

As a gallery operator, of course he understands the market situation of Susanna's paintings, and he also knows that Ye Tian is right, 120,000 euros is indeed a very good price, very tempting!

But who doesn't like money to be hot? Albert is no exception!

Albert quickly raised his head, looked at Ye Tian, and tentatively quoted a new price.

"130,000 euros! Steven, this is the lowest price I can accept, for a super-rich man like you, 10,000 euros is just a drop in the bucket, but it means a lot to us!"

When he said this, he looked at Ye Tian with anticipation, expecting to hear the most beautiful answer.

After a little groaning, Ye Tian smiled and nodded, and stretched out his right hand to Albert.

"Okay, Monsieur Albert, 130,000 euros sold, although this price is a bit high, but it is not easy to meet a painting of Susanna, I am willing to accept this price!"

"Great, Mr. Steven, deal, you're such a generous fellow!"

Albert said excitedly, and shook Ye Tian's right hand vigorously.

The deal was made! The priceless Gauguin painting was successfully acquired, and it was almost like picking it up for nothing!

Secretly cheered, Ye Tian immediately smiled and said:

"Albert, I don't know what kind of payment method you like to use, bank check or transfer? I can do it as you like, now I can pay for the goods, and the money and goods will be paid!"

As you know, I'm not French, and to bring this painting back to New York, in order to avoid some unnecessary trouble, you need to issue some certificates in order to pass through French customs!

It can be seen that this oil painting should have been in the hands of connoisseurs, at least in the hands of art lovers who know how to paint, and the whole painting is very well preserved, which is commendable!

Let's talk about the oil paint on the canvas first, I can't see any wrinkles and cracks, the humidity is very good, and although the frame is nearly 100 years old, I can't see a single crack!

Next, we will be in Europe for a while, and in order to carry it easily, I am going to take the canvas off the solid wood drawing board, put it in a telescopic painting tube, and disassemble the frame!

After completing the transaction, I will need to provide me with some tools to disassemble the frame on the spot, remove the canvas, and of course, provide you with a retractable painting tube and a box!

From the beginning of the trade until I finally took off the canvas, we shoot videos, and you know, I'm not very likable in France, so maybe you can avoid some trouble!"

When he said this, Ye Tian's expression was very calm, and he couldn't see anything abnormal.

Although he could take the painting back to New York first, and then take out the Gauguin masterpiece hidden under Susanna's oil painting, and make a windfall!

But considering the value of Gauguin's paintings, if you want to be publicly traded on the art market and fetch a sky-high price for a top-notch artwork like this, the origin must be clear and stand up to scrutiny!

Otherwise, it is likely to cause some trouble, and even attract the covetousness of others!

That's why he planned to unframe the picture here in front of Albert, and that priceless Gauguin masterpiece was naturally a surprising windfall!

In this way, such an understanding can be formed in the eyes of others!

The reason why Ye Tian was able to harvest this outstanding painting of Gauguin can only be attributed to his luck, God stands with him at all times, and there is no other explanation for this!

With this in mind, no one can question the provenance of this painting, and there will be no obstacle in sending this post-impressionist masterpiece to a top auction in the future!

Of course, the result of this will inevitably make Albert very painful, regretting that he just wants to jump the Seine, and he will hate Ye Tian so much that he grits his steel teeth!

However, where would Ye Tian care about his feelings.

In Ye Tian's opinion, the sea of people who hate themselves is gone, one more is not more, and one less is not too much, who can bite me?

Moreover, even if this outstanding painting of Gauguin passes by itself, it will fall into the hands of other tourists or collectors, and it will not belong to Albert!

If Albert had been able to discover this painting, it would not have been possible to put it up to now!

There are times in life that you must have it, and there is no time in life when you don't want it!

"Bank transfer, Steven, it's more convenient and quicker, as for the tools you mentioned to dismantle the frame, as well as the telescopic painting tube, there is no problem, I have it here!

I have to say, you are very thoughtful, this Susanna's oil painting is not small, it is really inconvenient to carry the frame with you like this, and it is obviously more suitable to carry it with a painting tube!

When we finish this art transaction, I'll ask the clerk to get the tools to unwrap the frame, let's start the transaction, and I'll issue you the relevant certificate of this oil painting right away!"

Albert nodded excitedly, a big smile on his face.

Ye Tian shook his head slightly, stretched out his hand and pointed to a landscape oil painting next to him and said:

"Don't worry, Albert, the painting depicting the landscape of Fontainebleau looks pretty good, and I intend to take it into my pocket as a souvenir of my trip to the Fontainebleau forest!"

He was referring to a hyper-realistic landscape painting that looked like a photograph by a French painter in the sixties and seventies!

The French painter is also a little famous, and his paintings generally cost about 50,000 or 60,000 euros on the market, and the most expensive paintings do not exceed 200,000 euros!

The reason why Ye Tian wanted to buy that landscape painting was not because he liked hyperrealism or the French painter, but because he planned to use that painting as a cover-up, so as not to arouse suspicion!
