Chapter 2133 The Surrealist Leonardo da Vinci

The stall owner, Friedrich, looked at the surrealist sculpture again, then pondered for a moment before giving an offer for the sculpture.

"Mr. Steven, the price for this sculpture is two hundred and fifty thousand euros, if you can accept the price, you can take away this very nice surrealist sculpture"

After speaking, Friedrich looked at Ye Tian with anticipation, expecting to hear the best answer, and there was a little apprehension in his eyes.

Ye Tian was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head helplessly.

"Wow! 250,000 euros, it seems that this bronze sculpture must be a master's work, and the artistic value is extraordinary, but unfortunately, I can't accept this price, it seems that I am destined to have no chance with this sculpture."

Hearing this, a look of disappointment immediately flashed on Friedrich's face, and a little remorse appeared in his eyes.

He knew in his heart that he was too eager, too greedy, and the offer was too high, and as a result, the bastard on the other side didn't accept the offer at all, and he didn't even have the desire to bargain.

If I had known this, the price should have been low just now, and maybe I would be able to dispose of this strange sculpture that had been backlogged in my hands for a long time.

Just when Friedrich was secretly remorseful, Ye Tian had already looked at the other so-called antique artworks in this stall, completely throwing the surrealist sculpture aside, and did not take another look.

Next, he asked about the prices of several items one after another, but he didn't take any of them on the grounds that the stall owner's price was too high.

Then, he took David and the others out of the stall and walked towards a small antique shop not far away, without the slightest nostalgia or reluctance.

"Heyβ€”β€”!"

As Ye Tian and the others left, a sigh immediately sounded around Friedrich's stall, coming from the crowd of people who were watching the excitement.

Immediately afterward, the onlookers quickly dispersed.

Someone continued to follow Ye Tian and them, ready to watch the excitement, by the way, to see if there was anything cheap to pick up, and it was okay to eat meat and drink soup!

Others scattered and went to the flea market to see if they could find any treasures.

The few antique artworks on Friedrich's booth that Ye Tian had just asked about the price, or the so-called antique artworks, were no longer cared for, and they were not even interested in taking a closer look.

In their opinion, since the Steven guy thinks that the price of those so-called antique artworks is too high to be worth selling, the value of those so-called antique artworks can be imagined.

Besides, Steven's cunning bastard just asked for the quotation of seven or eight goods in a row, and who knows if there are any traps among them, and it is better to avoid them so as not to be caught.

But where do these onlookers know what kind of opportunity they missed?

While speaking, Ye Tian and his party had already arrived at the door of the small antique shop.

When they walked here, they suddenly stopped, and instead of pushing the door directly into the antique shop, they took great interest to admire several paintings and so-called antique artifacts displayed in the windows.

Under the cover of the security personnel behind him and the cover of the antique store window in front of him, Ye Tian quietly turned on the micro microphone of the wireless invisible headphones, and said in a low voice:

"Cole, tell Rudy, who is in the crowd, to strike in half an hour and take down the surrealist sculpture at a maximum price of five thousand euros.

Rudy is German, fluent in German, and when you come forward to buy the sculpture, remember to use German, not American English, because that would be revealing."

"Understood, Steven, I'll inform Rudy"

Cole replied in a low voice, a surge of excitement in his words.

As soon as his words fell, David, who was standing beside Ye Tian, immediately asked excitedly and in a low voice:

"Steven, that surrealist sculpture is the work of some famous sculptor, and it must be worth a lot, right?"

Ye Tian didn't turn his head to look at David, still admiring a painting in the window in front of him, and at the same time said in a low voice:

"That's right, David, that surrealist sculpture is worth a lot of money, at least fifteen million dollars, and if it weren't for that, I wouldn't have let Rudy get his hands on it.

Although the sculpture is not signed by the author, I am sure that it is definitely a work by Max Ernst, a master of surrealism and a famous German-French painter and sculptor."

"Wow! It's a sculpture by Max Ernst, and I know that this top artist has a lot of his work in the Guggenheim Museum in New York."

David exclaimed directly, but fortunately his voice was very low and his expression was not too exaggerated, and the others did not notice.

Ye Tian nodded lightly, and then continued:

"Max Ernst is known as the 'Leonardo da Vinci of Surrealism', and is the soul of both Dadaism and Surrealism.

His rich and boundless imagination, his sense of the absurdity of the world, and his dreamlike poetic atmosphere drawn from Germanic Romanticism and illusory art amazed the world.

Max Ernst was a tireless inventor who constantly updated his methods of expression and was known for his extremely varied artistic styles and expressive techniques.

Using a variety of artistic techniques such as collage, friction, rubbing, and scratching, he is committed to creating a varied, colorful and illusory world, and is known as a subversive and innovative artist.

After retiring from the German army at the end of World War I, Max Ernst founded the Dada Group in his hometown of Cologne and threw himself into the Dadaist art movement.

In 1922, Max Ernst moved to Paris, where he officially joined the Surrealist school of art and quickly became the soul of Surrealist art.

During World War II, Max Ernst moved to New York, USA, where he lived for a long time and created many works in New York.

Max Ernst's works are in the collections of the Guggenheim Museum in New York, and his works are extremely popular in the antique art market in the United States.

The surrealist sculpture was created by Max Ernst during his time in New York, and depicts the German people struggling and despairing under Nacui's rule.

Compared to the paintings, Max Ernst did not create many sculptures, each of which was worth a lot of money, and with the heavy subject matter of the sculpture, it was even more valuable."

"Let's hope Rudy can take that sculpture and turn 5,000 euros into 15 million dollars, it couldn't be more perfect"

David smiled and whispered, his eyes full of envy.

Next, they whispered a few more small talks before they walked to the door of the antique shop, pushed open the door and entered the small antique shop.

It was about fifteen minutes later, Ye Tian and his party came out of this antique shop and walked towards another antique stall not far away.

At this time, they already had an antique work of art in their hands, which was a painting, encased in a black telescopic painting tube.
