Chapter 0562: Metropolis

3.4 million US dollars, or about 23 million yuan. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Lin Haven's "Gaia, the Mother Earth Goddess" has changed hands three times, and it is currently his highest transaction price of 1.5 million euros, almost 11 million yuan.

Doubled!

Is the Met crazy?

Burning hands with more money?

And burned out your brains together?

Apparently, the Met is not crazy, its modern art department has provided advice, and it just so happens that a wealthy man has donated $20 million for the acquisition of the Met's collection of modern literary works, and the financial situation is very strong.

At this time, the exhibition that Paris Gaux is holding will certainly not be missed by the Met.

In the evaluation of museum experts, Lin Haiwen's "Flying Buddha Picture" was described as "the foundation work of a new master of painting, whose technique and artistic expression have reached a very high level, and the innovative momentum of classicism displayed by it is very likely to mean that this ancient genre will be reborn in the 21st century." ”

The assessment is that it is proposed to acquire.

But this is now, now is not the time to buy if you want to, buy if you want.

The Met was the first to come into contact with Lin Haven, of course, with Giff at the Bloe Gallery. When Giff received this call, he was particularly excited, and the Metropolitan Museum's request for a collection was about equal to the value of a young painter who was on the rise.

When Giff met with Lin Haven to talk about this, his eyes lit up like light bulbs: "Lin, this is definitely a good opportunity, Chang's painting has not yet been collected by the Met." You know what that means, it means that in the eyes of the Met, your paintings are more collectible. ”

"Huh?"

"So if the price offered by the Met is lower, I hope you can still agree to their collection request. Although Giff was in charge of the sale of Lin's paintings in Europe and the United States, he obviously could not sell low or high. In that case, Lin Haven would have been able to get him.

"-What?" Lin Haiwen's eyes widened, "Why? You don't like to bite your hand with a lot of money? Why don't you let me keep it for you?"

"No, it's not, I mean, we can all see the propaganda in this, and a little bit of commitment is necessary. ”

"Even if the business is not negotiated, it can be promoted," Lin Haiwen blinked his eyes: "You can tell the media that the metropolis wants to buy my paintings, but I resolutely and unswervingly refused." I see the metropolis like dung. ”

“……”

Listening to Lin Haiwen's own wishes, the news of Geev Brow's sale, that is, the Lin Haven symposium in the past few days, has received more than 10 inquiries, art museums, private collectors, art funds, or Lin Haven to find a gallery to divide the money he worked so hard to paint, it is not a lack of heart. Giff walked among the acquirers, breaking through the psychological price level again and again.

The initial offer of the Met, which was not low, greatly surprised Giff. The price they gave was based on the record price of Lin's work - $1.6 million.

The sincerity of the Metropolis seemed to be sufficient, but when the prices added up, even Giff's own psychology was shaken.

The bid quickly reached 2 million.

2.4 million.

2.8 million!

Lin Haven's old friend, when the Getty Center in the United States offered 3 million, the other competitors had almost refunded.

Getty's people also thought that when they were nine out of ten, most of them judged and opened the last bottom line - 3.4 million.

If it's any higher, Getty will take your East Coast bun away.

But apparently, Getty chose to give up in the face of the $400,000 price difference. Therefore, the Met finally got this new work of Lin Haven, which cost a full 3.4 million. Not to mention that Giff used to think it was much cheaper, but now it has doubled.

The figure of 3.4 million is explosive.

The news came out with a whoosh.

Europe, the United States, Asia, and China are spreading this little by little.

The works of young painters worth millions of dollars are big news for the media of any country - especially the United States, which is particularly fond of promoting wealth stories. This is a major component of the American dream, similar to the 24-word mantra of China.

"3.4 million! The record doubled, and Lin Haven became one of the top 50 most valuable contemporary painters"

"Gorgeous turn, from best-selling author to youngest richest painter. "This must have not done his homework well, Lin Hai Wenming is obviously a painter, a part-time writer and a scolder.

"The rising master of Huaguo, Lin Haiwen's works were collected by the Metropolitan Museum of Art for 3.4 million. ”

The melon-eating masses in China and the United States roughly mean the same: those who spend money are stupid, have conspiracies, trenches, and beds?

"I think the Met must be crazy to spend $3.4 million on Lin Haven's paintings. ”

"I suspect that Lin Haven donated money to the Met before the Met agreed to collect his works, and I know this kind of trick too well. ”

"God, God, doesn't Lin really need another girlfriend? I know that you Chinese people like second wives, I can make him an American second wife. ”

For the Chinese, the impact may be a little stronger.

20 million!

A painting!

22-year-old Lin Haven!

All these numbers and names add up to create a phrase - "NND is not me".

……

In a villa in the fourth ring of the capital, the man looked at the painting in the bedroom, looked and looked, and looked and looked.

"Don't look at it, can you still sell yourself?"

Lu Dong shook his head and sighed, "It's really handsome." ”

"......" His wife is also drunk.

Lu Dong can't be unhappy, he just spent 10 million to get Lin Haiwen's painting, which hangs in the bedroom, and before he gets used to it, it has doubled in value! It's even more profitable than filming a TV series: "You know, just let Lin Haven draw me ten or eight paintings at that time." ”

"Come on, will someone take care of you? ”

"Hey, you're uncomfortable seeing me happy, aren't you?"

"yes. Mrs. Lu is actually the eldest who is unhappy: "Hanging on the bed, every day when I look up, I see you staring at the two fish eyes hanging on the wall, do you think I can be comfortable?"

Lu Dong had to move his handsome photo to the side: "Do you say I want to get a box to put it up, and get something antiseptic-"

"Do you want to be a mummy?"

Is this ability to scare people with Lin Hai's literature?

In any case, Lin Haiwen's painting price has stepped up to 20 million yuan, which is enough to refresh his public image again.

The right hand of gold.

Many otaku looked at their right hands and sighed: If you were so valuable, you wouldn't need to be busy for more than ten years.

……

Outside was constantly rumored by a purchase price, Lin Haven after a few days, when he visited Gaomei with some guests, although everyone always looked at him, he was still reserved, no one rushed up and held his hand: Comrade Lin Haven, congratulations on the new high price.

Of course, there are also some people who don't look good.

"This is the studio, right? Can we go in and have a look?" Altur tried to shake off the of Lin Haven and led the way to a studio. (To be continued.) )
