Lin Haiwen's exhibition at the Washington Museum of Fine Arts was particularly successful, those who were willing to appreciate the oil paintings, those who had seen the dance of "Guanyin with a Thousand Hands", or the American melon-eating masses who had paid attention to the news, were quite happy to come and see, the exhibition lasted for a total of 6 days, and in the end, the number of people who came to see the exhibition exceeded 8,000 people. The www.biquge.info local TV stations and media in Washington have reported on it several times, and the direct impact is that he has received many invitations, especially the large and small art museums in several cities where "Guanyin with a Thousand Hands" has been performed.

After the end of the exhibition in Washington, these paintings were not shipped back to China, and after a gap of more than half a month, they began to be exhibited at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, for a week. At this time, Lin Haven also received a call from Jiang Tao.

"At the Huamei Exhibition?"

"Yes, many tourists are asking, saying that your exhibition is very popular in the United States, but the domestic audience can't see it. Jiang Tao didn't have any special feelings because Chang Shuo left CAFA, mainly because his contact point with Lin Haven was still at the Huaguo Art Museum, not CAFA.

Lin Haven hesitated a little: "It's not a problem to show up, but it may be relatively backward." ”

"What's the matter, do you have a plan for it?"

"Well, the Getty Center in Los Angeles is going to be on display for a week, and then Europe, France, and Spain have been decided, and there should be two or three more stops in the future, and if it is to end, I guess it will be after October. ”

"......" Jiang Tao was silent on the other end of the phone for a long time: "Gaidi, it's the one who collects Van Gogh's "Iris", right?"

"That's right. ”

"Okay, let's talk about it then. ”

Jiang Tao hung up the phone, was stunned for a while, and when he met with Jiang Yuan and Vice President Dong, he still talked about this.

"Lin Haven's level is a bit powerful. ”

"Why?

He said what he had heard: "There are not many people in China who can have such a touring exhibition, right? ”

"Now he's not worth much. Jiang Yuan smiled: "Next semester, he will take a leave of absence." Also, there is nothing left in the Academy of Fine Arts to teach him, but I don't know if he went to Tiannan with Chang Shuo or became a teacher. ”

Jiang Tao and Vice President Dong looked at each other and didn't know what to say.

......

Since the beginning of June, Lin Haven's name has not disappeared from the art sector in China.

How popular the exhibition at the Museum of Fine Arts in Washington was, how such and such a researcher, such and such a professor, and what magazines praised him.

For example, a professor at the Maryland Institute of Art felt that Lin Haiwen's "Silent Guanyin" was not the right idea, and out of respect for classicism, the deification of disabled artists was another form of discrimination, and so on. Such a discussion, which does not involve artistic standards, is generally beneficial to Lin Haven.

Then there's the Getty Center in Los Angeles, the Musée de l'Orangerie in France, and the Museum of Fine Arts in Seville in Spain – this time the real Seville Art Museum.

Lin Haven also deliberately posted a Weibo.

Director Bruno of the Seville Art Museum, Dr. Flagg of the Flagg Gallery of Seville, the exhibition "Silent Guanyin" was held at the Seville Art Museum, and "The Little Street of Yanmingyuan" was exhibited at the Flagg Art Gallery in Seville. How's it going? Got dizzy? ”

"The great god is a lot more subtle, he used to be a direct person, so who said that? Tu Gang, or Le Jun?"

The fans below, help him, a large row of people, and let the family claim it themselves.

"Who said that Flagg is just a private collection workshop, and the gods can't reach the Seville Art Museum, hurry up and send your face over, don't hide. ”

After such a toss, Liu Dongdong, who had almost disappeared from his confidence, suddenly had a lot of anger to support him.

"Teacher Le Jun and Teacher Tu Gang have already been to the Louvre for solo exhibitions, and some of them are still early, what are you shaking?"

Lin Haven saw it, and Yile: "You're done, winter melon, earlier you followed someone to bite me, so you got some benefits, don't you hurry up and shrink your tail." When I went to France at this time, I also talked to a professor at the Louvre, and they said that they had never invited Chinese painters to hold solo exhibitions, and those two just paid their own money and posed in a hall on the side of the Louvre. In addition to the two of them, there is also one count, you go and count, but all the solo exhibitions in the Louvre are all like this. ”

This map cannon fired, and Chang Shuo was almost sad.

"Luckily, I was able to hold on. "Those French and Chinese curators were demagogic everywhere, and the Chinese people also bought it at that time, and there were really a lot of people who went, especially the painters in their 4s and 50s. Chang Shuo was also one of the targets at that time, but he became famous early, and it was not necessary to play this, so he refused.

Lin Haven hehehe: "If you go too, I won't talk about it." ”

"There are also two of them that have been swept away?"

"Whatever, his mind is not right, and he will reap the consequences. Lin Haven was quite disdainful.

"Come on. ”

Among the people who were swept by Lin Haven, many of them were famous painters, and this kind of thing couldn't be relied on, so they had to hurry out to stop the loss.

Tu Gang said: "I was deceived at the beginning, he said that he was a staff member of the Louvre, and he could also provide the Louvre's work ID, but I didn't expect that it was their insiders who deceived our foreign oil painting artists." I was also very angry. ”

Le Jun sold his gallery: "Everything is left to the gallery to operate, I don't know. Later, when I found out, I also explicitly asked them not to mention this article in all propaganda and materials. Indeed, at that time, the oil painting industry in our country did not have much contact with foreign countries, and everyone sought after foreign countries, so it was easy to be deceived. We should absorb the cultural soil of China and provide better works of art for our people, which is what we should do. ”

secretly poked and poked cold water on Lin Haven's recent limelight.

But it still affected some collectors, especially Le Jun, the turmoil of "people are stupid and have a lot of money" has not completely passed, his market price has been affected, and this time it is even worse, not to mention that as he gets older, the price should have been rising, and now it has fallen by more than 3%.

On the other side of the gallery, there is a pot on the back, and the business is not good, and the Le Jun itself is not easy to serve, and the two sides have not been very happy recently.

These people are not happy, then Comrade Liu Dongdong is even more unhappy, the friendship that was mixed up before is gone in the blink of an eye, and several exhibition opportunities are said to be good, especially the opportunity of the Beijing Biennale, at this time, it has also become empty, his regretful intestines are green, and he has emptied his Weibo in a hurry.

"There is a great god who was kicked out of the microblogging world, miserable. ”

Compared with their dissatisfaction, Lin Haven is more happy.

At the end of September, he ended this large wave of exhibitions, and he was half tired to death, but he was still in a good mood when he looked at the media that "the famous painter Lin Haven ended his tour in Europe and the United States today and returned to China".
