Chapter 0393: Pig-Head Horner
He remembered that Egger, the oil restorer of Orsay, had said that Horner had inherited a gallery from his father, Horner, and that it should be quite large, but that the art dealer who could use a knife on the authentic works of Velázquez really couldn't make Haven Lin expect him to pay a lot of money for his paintings?
Lin Haven was not the only one who expressed surprise at Horner's bid in the field. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
For example, Solva, who has been quite resentful since he sat down.
"This is the first time I've seen him at auction, in the past, old Horner often appeared, to buy some works of young painters, you are a person with high potential, and you have not signed a gallery, he is the favorite, if old Horner is alive, it is normal for him to buy your works. Solva certainly knows more about the French art scene than the housing prices in Beijing: "The Colondia Gallery in Old Horner started with little Freud, oh, I mean Lucian Freud, who passed away just a few years ago, one of the most expensive contemporary painters in the world. ”
Lin Haven nodded and said that he was not so lonely and unheard.
In the fifties and sixties, he continued to buy some of Freud's paintings, which later became the first accumulation of these paintings by the Colondia Gallery, and they still have a total of five Freud paintings worth 200 million euros. But since the death of Horner Sr., his son, who is the one, has rarely appeared at auction. This time, it looks like he's here for your work. ”
“...... Oh, I should be honored, shouldn't I?"
Lin Haven rolled his eyes, and Solva smiled: "Whatever, as long as he pays, it's fine, isn't it?"
"No, how can this be, I have to make sure that the person who gets my painting really appreciates it and will treat it well. After all, this painting is full of my understanding and perception of the land and the origin of all things. Of course, I hope that the people who have it at the end will really understand it. Anyway, there's no precedent for Boss Horner not to pay the bill, right?"
"......" Solva's face showed the confusion in his mind, and his face was distorted: "Probably not, although he has a bad temper and is a little picky, but old Horner has left him a lot of assets, and he is not short of money." Galerie Colondia, one of the most famous galleries in Paris and even in Europe, have you never heard of it?"
"Well, all I know is Pace and Gagosian. ”
"Well, who made you a market freshman. Pace and Gagosian are the most well-known galleries in the world, and there's no mistake about that, they have dozens of galleries around the world. But Cologia in Paris and Meyer in London have their own reputations. ”
The two of them muttered, and the price had begun to climb.
The market estimated that the final price of the painting should be under 800,000 euros, but the price began to spiral slightly out of hand as Horner doubled to 600,000 in one fell swoop. Two collectors from Huaguo asked for 650,000 yuan and 680,000 yuan respectively. Horner once again pushed the price up to 800,000 by a big margin.
"You really didn't plan to sign for Cologdia?" Solva was stunned to see Horner working so hard.
Lin Haven could only shake his head: "No, I will sign my teacher's gallery, Barrow Gallery." ”
Originally a small gallery, the Barrow Gallery was founded by its owner, Jeff Brow, who signed Tsuneson Tsune, a neoclassical yellow-skinned oil painter, twenty years ago, and began to make him his main attraction. At that time, many people in the industry thought they were crazy, the twentieth century was the century of abstraction, and making such a decision has to be said to be a risky move by Brow.
But he succeeded, and Chang Shuo's works reached a price of millions of euros, three or four per year, allowing them to guarantee themselves millions in income. And after playing the sign, they can also manage more second-level painters - such as Lin Haven now.
Salva shrugged his shoulders and signed the teacher's gallery, which is of course normal: "So Horner is really mesmerized by your work?"
"It's not something I can't understand when I'm so good at drawing, is it?"
- Yes. ”
After Horner called 800,000, it was the peak of everyone's psychological value, and the auctioneer asked twice, before a Chinese collector shouted 820,000, but then he was pressed by Horner's 900,000 and there was no sound.
Lin Haven is a little nervous, 90 euros, converted into more commonly used US dollars, is more than 1 million.
This means that one of his works has been sold for millions of dollars!
Wow, that's exciting.
As for whether Horner should be sunk to the bottom of the Seine, Lin Haven felt that he could discuss it again, if he could call it higher, his temper could be a little worse, it didn't matter.
The price of 900,000 is the same as Artur's "Nightmare".
Before the auctioneer dropped the hammer, no one was bidding.
Horner stood up triumphantly, looked around, and without seeing Haven Lin himself, he went to the formalities with the staff of the auction house - apparently, he had come for this work of Haven Lin, and there was no longer his goal behind it.
"Although now I know that you are rich, congratulations. ”
"Thank you. ”
From the first time I met Chang Shuo, after changing my career plan, to now shooting my first work, this is a feeling that is completely different from the success of the company, and it is indeed worth contributing.
However, his happiness did not last until the next day.
That night, he saw a piece of news about himself.
Haven Lin's work "Gaia, Mother Earth" was bought by Mr. Horner, the owner of the Colondia Gallery, for 900,000 euros. In an interview, Mr. Horner said his gallery would sign Mr. Lin and package him as a painter who was more expensive than Lucien Floyd. Industry insiders said that this may mean a price of 900,000 yuan, which cannot be a reference price for Lin Haven's works. ”
!
Chang Shuo's call came quickly.
"When Giff told me, I was shocked, you promised Horner? ”
Apparently it was the owner of the Brow Gallery who saw the news.
Lin Haven felt that the "Swearing Bible" in his head was about to start a riot: "Never, I haven't told him these things. He's really a pig, even if I want to sign it, is he treating everyone else as an idiot when he says that? It's still packaged, it's more expensive, I his ancestors for eighteen generations...... Uh, I'm sorry, teacher, I'm a little excited. ”
“...... It's okay, you can get some media clarification, Giff said, maybe he can put on a press conference for you. ”
"Well, it's going to kill you. Lin Haven gritted his teeth.
