Chapter 1076 - First Scolding
The names of those named by Lin Haven, such as Jeff Koons, Nice Taki, and Professor Terry, all had very strange faces. Especially when the people around them looked over, they seemed to be confused, and they didn't know if what Lin Haven said was true, could it be that they were distracted just now and didn't listen to everything?
Jeff Koons is a big name, and no one dares to ask him.
And Nice Taki is an avant-garde artist in the United States, nearly 50 years old, he is also quite popular, the price of his works is relatively strong, and many institutions that advertise contemporary and avant-garde will invite him to make some bizarre installations - as for why he is so disagreeable with Lin Haven?
Because the rise of Lin Haven has more or less affected the livelihood of these contemporary artists, Nice is one of them, he originally took over the work of a major international exhibition, bought his works from the venue, and then exhibited them during the exhibition, and then kept them in the exhibition hall as one of the features of the exhibition hall.
But it happened to be the time for Haven Lin's "Gaia" to fetch 12.5 million euros, and of course when he fell out with Jeff Koons again – which led to the convention center eventually abandoning Nice's work in favor of a more traditional sculptor.
It's not that Nice is missing this business, but it's an embarrassing thing, and maybe it's not just this time, and there will be more to come, and that's a big problem. Whether these buyers are because more is better than less, or whether they are really worried about the impact on business, in short, it is a particularly unfavorable situation. It's no surprise that Nice, as well as some of his peers, would stress that Lin should keep his mouth shut.
In this context, hearing Lin Haven say that Nice Taki "praised" him and said that his artistic achievements have subverted an era, the people around Nice couldn't believe it, this turn was too hasty, right?
"Nice, you, did you say that? How did I—" Someone couldn't help but ask him, "Why didn't I seem to hear it?" ”
Ness looked at him indifferently: "I didn't. ”
"You didn't?
"......" Nice was even more indifferent.
The questioner was a little embarrassed: "Maybe his English is not very good, that's why—"
Ness, listening to Lin's standard American English pronunciation, couldn't convince himself that Lin would mishear him because of his poor English.
He did it on purpose!
Lin Haven said as he looked at Nice's wicked value and sent it over little by little, feeling quite proud.
When he faced these people, most of whom were from the United States, but certainly some from Europe and other regions, Lin Haven actually felt very strange. Beginning with Jeff Koons, these people are more or less hinting at him that classicism needs to be revived, and how much pressure he is facing - the vast majority of those sitting below will be obstructors.
The system will not refuse him an artist who can sell for a good price.
But he will not allow him to bury so many artists who can sell for a good price - what classical art, what contemporary artists, they are all bastards, as long as they can make money, can feed so many people, and can provide them with luxury enjoyment, it is a good egg.
This is a Hongmen feast.
Before coming, Lin Haven really didn't expect that after all, he had just sold for a sky-high price of 80 million US dollars, and it was not surprising that any industry organization invited him. But from Jeff's public speech, and later so many people followed up, he understood. He also believes that after this meeting, there will be more means and actions.
It seems that the source classicism that is going to be smooth sailing, maybe there will be some heavyweight negative comments too?
Even some of his works on the market may be sold at a low price at a lesser auction – to show that the market does not have such a solid pursuit of Lin Haven.
Wait, there are many options for similar actions.
Lin Haven is difficult to support alone, and in terms of conventional means, he has no power to fight back.
But as a man with the Valley of the Wicked, everything is different, he doesn't even want to wait for them to make those means, today, right now, facing this group of important figures in the industry, isn't it a good opportunity.
"Again, I don't allow you to continue to praise me like that, I won't interfere with your deep admiration for me, or any other emotion, but don't say it publicly, especially in public, and I hope you can restrain your surging feelings and do that.
Sitting here today, there's a lot of galleries, like Mr. Larry, there's a lot of auction houses, like Braitchett at Christie's, and of course critics like Professor Terry, and Jeff, hey, dear Jeff, yes, you, you've got other artists, and that's a big part of the scene...... And all you people, I must say: you are all bastards!"
Swish!
His security chief felt that this winter had been unusually cold.
Sotheby's Dimon was stunned, he really didn't expect Lin Haven to be so fierce and scolded all these heavyweights in front of him - but he was also a little happy, Larry was named, and Christie's didn't escape that old thing, but he didn't, this is obviously Lin Haven's face.
Really face-saving.
Especially the sour and angry look that Larry saw.
The wicked are swarming.
Lin Haven tugged at the corners of his mouth: "Bastards are actually not enough to describe the extent of bastards, I suggest that you can buy my masterpiece "Scolding Bible", the words there are all I want to tell you."
Why? I'm sure all of you, while feeling ashamed and guilty, will still ask, "Why are you bastards, where are you bastards, and are you still saved?"
I am willing to answer your inner doubts.
The first one, why are you bastards. In the past 100 years, a wave of pompous and metaphysical has eroded from the minds of utopians into painting and art, and you, as the powerful in all aspects of the system, should resist this erosion with all your might, just as you resist fascism and resist the devils. But you didn't, or, to be more precise, you became traitors, capitulators, and lead the way, for all kinds of schemes and interests, such as the United States wants to fool the world and develop a so-called soft power strategy, for example, you want to have more garbage makers to hype...... In short, you have not defended the sacred land of art and reduced it to what it is today, like the filthy subway tunnels of New York.
That's why I say you're bastards! Bastards, after hearing that, you're all going to agree with that. ”
