Sotheby's Paris Autumn Auction is one of the most important autumn auctions in the world, second only to New York and on the same level as London and Harbor. Although there are no record-breaking regulars such as Gauguin and Van Gogh, modern artists represented by abstract celebrities such as Gerhard Richter, Freud, and Pollak have also broken records in recent years, with a transaction price of more than 100 million US dollars, which has long been on par with the ancient masters.

Now, Lin Haven has also stepped into it with one foot.

Zeng Jing, the little girl Lin Haiwen met on the plane, really appeared at the auction site.

She looked at it, there are not many faces of Chinese people, more people with Europa faces, of course, there are also some oil tyrants scattered among them, with several gold rings in one hand, and the aesthetics are very exaggerated.

"I don't know when Lin Haven's work will come out. Zeng Jing was looking forward to it.

She was accompanied by a friend of hers, who was studying for a PhD in business in London, and who had arrived in Paris before her, and who had been there that day to pick her up. At this time, he looked at Zeng Jing quite weakly, obviously not the first time he said it: "You have collided with Lin Haiwen, won't you buy one directly from him? ”

"That's so embarrassing, just know and open your mouth. ”

"What's so embarrassing? Hey, you don't know, Lin Haven is very popular in Europe, especially in the last month, like taking a plane, many big-name painters and artists are talking about him, some art journals, very authoritative kinds, are analyzing his source classicism, I think that wording, it is a bit of a founding school in martial arts. If you could have agreed with Lin Haven on a painting at that time, if nothing else, this value-added would be attractive enough, and how hot the art market is now.

And let me tell you, someone in the "Times" published an article before, saying that after his ascension to heaven, Lin Haven's studio is estimated to become one of the most coveted treasures in the world, and he has strictly controlled the amount of works sold over the years. ”

Zeng Jing looked at her with disgust: "One bite at a time, ascend to heaven, don't let Lin Haven hear it, he can't scold you." ”

As a student studying in Europe from Huaguo, Zeng Jing's friend has his own news channel, and what Lin Haven said to that Liu Yangzi at the Paris High School, they have also spread it all over in private-Shayou paralysis...... This man is really not particular about it.

She stuck out her tongue and said nothing.

Zeng Jing finally quieted down a little.

At the auction, Zeng Jing knew a lot of painters, and some people also intersected with Lin Haven, such as the Dutch mean parrot Artur, a work was sold for 950,000 euros, and some increased, and Benoit of Orsay sold a work for about 210,000 yuan, and a Venus by Adrian Gottlieb of the old United States was sold for 4.6 million euros, although it is not a new record for his personal works, but it is still a very high result.

Tunit also has a "Red-122" auctioned, which sold for nearly 6 million euros - about 3 or 4 times the estimate, which shows that Tunit is also very popular in the market, which is not unrelated to the fact that he is getting older and has fewer and fewer works.

Lin Haven's "Pomegranate Flower" is second to him.

This painting is also Zeng Jing's first goal.

She didn't want to "Gaia" anymore, she couldn't stand the reserve price of 6 million alone, not to mention the current situation, Lin Haven had just drawn it on the big screen, and many people sat up straight, and the goal couldn't be more obvious, it was for Lin Haven.

Therefore, if Zeng Jing can win one, that is, "Pomegranate Flower" and "Window-12", in comparison, "Pomegranate Flower" is a typical work of Lin Haven during the Velázquez period, and it is still slightly cheaper than "Window-12", which has begun to explore the source classicism.

The same is true from the point of view of valuation.

The estimate for "Pomegranate Flower" is 2 million to 3 million.

"Window-12" is as much as 2.2 million 3.5 million.

Zeng Jing took a breath.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now we are about to auction this "Pomegranate Flower", its painter is currently one of the most recognized oil painting artists in the market, Mr. Lin Haven from China, Mr. Lin Haven studied under the famous classicist painter Chang Shuo, in just a few years, with an incredible speed to master the classicism technique, and on this basis, pioneering, explore a new path named by the famous color master Tuunit as 'source classicism', and has made remarkable progress.

In addition, Mr. Lin is also a maverick artist, with a great personal charm and a multi-faceted talent, which makes him one of the few Asian artists who enjoys a high reputation not only in his home country but also internationally. I need to mention that as a super-rich man who is extremely successful in business, Lin Haven is not busy creating a large number of works, whether before or after he became famous, his works are very few in the market, so they are very rare, and almost every one of his works can be auctioned at very good auction prices.

And this "Pomegranate Flower" is the first of three Lin Haven works in our single record auction today, it is a pomegranate flower bonsai, we all know that the pomegranate flower is the national flower of Spain, and this painting is also Lin Haven comprehended the characteristics of the Spanish master Velás Guizhi's works, created by the typical Velázquez period works, in his personal art history has important significance...... Now we officially start the auction, the starting price is 1.5 million, and the price increase shall not be less than 50,000 yuan each time, start!"

"5 million!"

A crisp voice suddenly sounded when everyone was not ready, and the starting price more than tripled.

The audience was shocked.

Zeng Jing's friends were even more shocked than them.

"Are you crazy?"

Zeng Jing's lips were also trembling slightly, and she didn't answer the words of the people around her, she prepared 40 million yuan for this auction - that is, exactly 5 million euros, in other words, she gambled all her money on the first hand.

And everyone saw that it was a young Chinese woman who was shouting, and almost all the veterans of the auction house thought of another woman-Cui Cheng! They think that Zeng Jing is Cui Cheng, and for these super-rich people, it is certainly not a problem whether it is in China or France.

"First time...... Second ......"

"5.2 million!"

Zeng Jing closed his eyes, let out a long breath, and was out!
