Chapter 1140: Father Auction (1)
Before Shi Lengyue decided, she went to Frankfurt.
Her mother did not immigrate to Germany by marrying a German, but after working in Germany for many years, she obtained her immigration status, so she is still single. Therefore, when Shi Lengyue saw that there were so many people in the family, she was surprised.
About twenty people, chatting and drinking in the living room and lawn, applauded when they saw her father leading her through the door.
"They're all friends and neighbors of Mom, and they all know that you just won the prize. β
β...... All right. β
People in developed countries have a full stomach, or even a full stomach, so they go higher in spiritual pursuits, which includes social causes, including charity, and of course art - so the social status of artists, especially well-known artists, is quite high.
Shi Lengyue is now a well-known artist.
A bronze award may not be enough, but the exhibition will be held in a series of prestigious venues, plus a BBC documentary and a protΓ©gΓ© of Lin Haven β it all adds up to an undoubted reputation as an artist.
Unlike Wang Peng, the little girl hasn't adapted to this rhythm yet.
Including when she was in Huaguo, she was more of a graduate student of Tianmei, working hard in the studio. And because she is a disciple of Lin Haven, she usually contacts with industry authorities, whether international or domestic, and her own definition of "well-known artist" is not the same as that of ordinary people.
So the first time she enjoyed this treatment was in Germany, in her mother's garden.
Foreigners are also flattering, and they struggle to cope with these compliments and send the guests away - she is tired, but her mother is simply radiant.
"How enjoyable is it?"
"That's, the girl is out, can you not be happy?"
"And what if I come to Europe to accompany you?"
"Huh?" Shi's mother was so surprised, she had actually said it many times, especially to learn oil painting, it must be more qualified in Europe, but Shi Lengyue still had a knot in her parents' divorce, and she was reluctant to follow her to Europe when she was young: "Why did you suddenly figure it out? What about your career in China?"
Shi Lengyue looked at her mother's surprise and made a decision: "It's not all in Europe, the teacher has a research center at the Paris Academy of Fine Arts, and I may have to take on a little work in it, so I will spend a lot more time in Europe in the future." β
"That's great. Mother Shi patted her palms lightly: "Then Mom will see if she can move to Paris, it should be okay." β
......
If the Lin Haven Yuan Classicism Research Center and the International Youth Oil Painting Exhibition are still major events in the professional field -- then since the arrival of Lin Haven's style, the first source classicist portrait "Father" was auctioned, can it fetch a sky-high price of more than 100 million US dollars? Or will it raise the price of Lin Haven's works to a record of what - 80 million US dollars is obviously not the end? The influence of this sky-high figure will never be in the professional field.
Therefore, people, whether they love oil painting or not, understand art or not, always have extreme love for the euro, the dollar and the renminbi.
Sotheby's Paris Autumn Auction is Lin Haven's "Father".
Since its inauguration at the Venice Biennale, Sotheby's has done enough publicity, display, and demagogy for it. The super-rich from North America, Europe, China, and even India and Mexico, so those who are interested in this work have not gone unnoticed.
Some people even call this painting "a touchstone for testing the scale and background of the oil painting collection".
Indeed, there are too many interested people.
Almost every day, as Source Classicism gains a little more recognition, the Father is given a greater meaning β Black Dragon Pond is of course iconic, but portraiture has a special meaning in the classical style. This promotes the first-mover advantage of "Black Dragon Pond", and does not diminish the value and representativeness of "Father".
Among them, Huang Zuowen, an old friend of Lin Haven and the boss of Tianyun Entertainment, also came as scheduled.
This time, he came with not Mr. Li of Hetian Film and Television, but several big names in the Chinese Tibetan industry, all of whom were super-rich people who had spent a lot of money to buy oil painting collections - this extravagant spending means that he had spent more than 100 million US dollars on a single work. For example, Huang Zuowen bought a painting of "Sunflowers" by Van Gogh, and another Mr. Liu, for example, bought Gauguin's "Morning", all of which broke 100 million yuan.
Obviously, they also believe that the probability of "Father" breaking 100 million is very high, so that the competitors attending should at least have this psychological preparation and financial preparation.
How many super-rich people go to auctions, but not a lot!
For those like Huang Zuowen, they like to participate in auctions, mainly because they enjoy the atmosphere - many rich people are reluctant to show their heads. However, there are not many people who attended this auction today, one is that Paris is a world capital after all, and there are many rich people, such as Mr. Arnault, the richest man in France and the owner of LV - who is also the top collector, and he is also a very rare person to attend today.
As for who it is for?
Maybe it's Andy Warhol, maybe it's Francis Bacon, and of course, it's also Linhaven.
The second point is that this auction is quite high-level, both in terms of lots and deposits - so a large number of people who join in the excitement are screened out, and the number of people on site is much smaller.
"Abu's people. Huang Zuowen looked away from Arno and looked at another Russian: "Tsk, Abu is actually interested." β
"It doesn't have to be Haven Lin, he's interested in Andy Warhol. Mr. Liu, who is on the side, obviously knows a lot about this top collector, the owner of Chelsea.
"Alas, whether it is or not, today is really a battle of dragons and tigers. Count it a little, the LV family, Abu, CAA, as well as Mr. Liu, several old families in Hong Kong City, all attended, and the grand occasion was unprecedented. Huang Zuowen clicked at random, and found a large number of top collectors.
Mr. Liu was a little calmer than him: "It's not surprising that such a luxurious auction can attract them." β
"yes, what is Liu always attracted to?"
"I want to know? β
β......β
The auction was indeed extravagant β the total net worth of attendees was likely to exceed $150 billion, and the collectibles market was home to most of the generous buyers.
When the auction starts, 10 million, 20 million in US dollars will explode over the venue like fireworks, and you will know what money is just a number.
