Chapter 265: It's also a difficult thing to buy a high imitation
"And this person?" Yu Yao said, "Then he has more than these two pieces in his collection." ”
Yang Sihai shook his head slightly, "We don't know how much collection this person has." However, there are about seven or eight paintings that he has shown to people in the circle, including Chinese paintings and Western paintings, which are indeed very valuable. Among them, including two paintings by Wang Meng, we trace back to the source according to the content we have, these two were sold by the same antique dealer during the Republic of China, so they belong to the category of legal transactions. ”
Wu Chen then also spoke, "This person's name is Shangguan Yu, and the interesting thing is that he graduated from the Department of Architecture of a famous American school and is now an architectural designer, but he not only knows calligraphy and painting, but also can paint by himself, and can afford both Chinese and Western paintings, so he is closer to some people in the calligraphy and painting circle." ”
Yu Yao said, "Wu Chu, you like rare books and calligraphy and paintings, and he and you are in the same way." ”
"I've been in contact with it, but I'm not familiar with it. This person may be the reason why he has studied abroad, and he has a foreign style and is not very able to talk about it. ”
Yang Sihai waved his hand, "I was already far away, and you two are still running along." ”
Yu Yao smiled, walked to Yang Sihai's desk, picked up the special cigarette on the table, and lit one, "Yang Ju, the matter is over, what else do I need to do in addition to providing requisitioned things next?"
"You don't need to do anything special, you keep in touch with Wu Chen, and once you have any useful information, communicate at any time. In addition, Wu Chen will also notify you if he needs your help. Other than that, it's business as usual, it's business as usual, it's your boss, it's your boss, it's your collector, it's business as usual. ”
"Okay. Then I'll flash first. ”
"Let's stay and eat, try our canteen, today Tuesday, there are big buns!"
"The big buns of the Special Investigation Bureau can't be eaten by ordinary people. Wu Chen said with a smile.
Yu Yao stayed and ate the big buns, which were really big, and the two of them were full; one meat and one vegetable, the meat was beef and green onions, and the vegetarian was leek eggs. But the taste is really good, and the ingredients are fresh.
After the meal, Wu Chen drove Yu Yao back to the hotel.
Yu Yao returned to the room and immediately called Cai Pengxi. It was just mentioned on the phone, and this matter had to be said in person, and the two made an appointment to have dinner together.
Although he signed a confidentiality agreement, he couldn't help but make it clear to Cai Pengxi, and Cai Pengxi was old and sophisticated, and Yu Yao didn't need to say a lot of things clearly, just a little bit.
He would not object. Moreover, it is really a good thing that the little jade seal and the missing corner are finally back together. At the time of the exchange, he was already thinking about how to glue the most appropriate one.
The two also discussed one thing, that is, in the secret collection of the Ghost Eye Gate, will there be a jade seal of the heirloom country?
However, the discussion was inconclusive, it was just a discussion during the banquet. Judging from Lang Xiankun's possession of this small jade seal, he should know something, but unfortunately, he never talked about it to Cai Pengxi.
The next day, Yu Yao made another trip to the Special Cultural Relics Investigation Bureau and delivered it to Xiao Yuyin.
Yu Yao decided that it would not be a week's time at all, and he would stay in Yanjing for the time being, and wait until Yang Sihai returned the small jade seal and the missing corner, and then Peng Xi took it over and completed the matter before leaving.
Another day later, as soon as Yu Yao got up in the morning, he received a call from Wu Chen, it turned out that he had just received a letter from a cargo owner, so he used the name of discussing "official business" with Yu Yao, and wanted to take Yu Yao to see things together.
Yu Yao originally wanted to go to the antique market that he had never visited, what Hongqiao Market Liangma Market. Wu Chen also agreed, anyway, he was just hanging out.
Unexpectedly, Wu Chen drove him on the road, and said that it was the property of a shopkeeper who operated calligraphy and painting in Liuli Factory.
When Yu Yao visited before, he hadn't seen this store. This is nothing, there are thousands of antique calligraphy and painting shops in Liuli Factory, large and small, and it is normal not to pay attention. But the characteristic of the glaze factory is calligraphy and painting, and those who operate calligraphy and painting shops here are not given for free, and they can't get any cheap.
Wu Chen also said that the shopkeeper said that it was Dong Yuan's painting. At this moment, Yu Yao wanted to stop the car immediately.
Who is Dong Yuan? At the end of the fifth dynasty and the beginning of the Northern Song Dynasty, he was a top master, a founding school, and a generation of grandmasters.
The so-called Jingguan in the front, Dong Ju in the back, the door of the six laws, and the enlightenment of learning, are all these four people.
Jingguan refers to Jing Hao and Guan Tong, and Dong Ju refers to Dong Yuan and Juran.
It is also so-called, there are Dong Yuan and Juran in the south, and Li Cheng and Fan Kuan in the north. Ju Ran was Dong Yuan's monk apprentice, and he went, and the remaining three people were also called the three masters of the Northern Song Dynasty.
Just these people's paintings, just bring out a random one, and it will be a sky-high price of 100 million. And the folk are basically invisible, and only a few large museums have treasures.
In a calligraphy and painting shop, not to mention whether there will be such a thing, even if there is such a thing, the owner will notify you separately?
"I said, this kind of thing, there's no need to go to the Yellow River and not give up, right?" Yu Yao depressedly dropped the window glass and lit a cigarette in the cold wind blowing in.
"Don't worry, I didn't say that I came to see it as Dong Yuan's genuine product. ”
"Huh, don't think it's genuine, you pull me to see the high imitation?"
"That's right, I'm just going to buy a high imitation. Wu Chen was very indifferent, "As soon as he said that it was Dong Yuan's, I estimated that it was a high imitation." ”
Yu Yao was speechless.
"You haven't heard me finish yet!" Wu Chen said again, "Ordinary Gao Fang, can you still invite your old man to go out of the mountain?"
"No! You call me age spots. ”
"What kind of score does the high imitation have, right? What if it is the high imitation of the Song Dynasty?"
Yu Yao listened, "It's not that I didn't listen to you, it's that you yourself are panting." ”
The Song Dynasty was a peak period of calligraphy and painting in Chinese history, and even some masters liked to copy and imitate, and even fell into the original paragraph when it was finished. For example, Mi Fu, Wang Xianzhi's "Mid-Autumn Festival", fell is Wang Xianzhi's money, he also said that it was genuine, show it to others, and blindfold people to steal fun.
Because of the participation of some famous artists, many high imitations are difficult to identify for a while, such as the Song Dynasty palace has collected hundreds of Wu Daozi's handwritings, and the results are basically high imitations.
"Dong Yuan's authentic handwriting, in this life, I think it's enough to be able to collect a piece. The shopkeeper said that it was an old mounted silk, and I thought that if it was an imitation of the Song people, then it would be fine!" Wu Chen said.
Yu Yao thought for a while, "There are too many mysteries on Dong Yuan, in the relatively chaotic era from the end of the Five Dynasties to the beginning of the Northern Song Dynasty, there is even controversy about whether to call Dong Yuan or Dong Yuan, and now there are only a few that are recognized as Dong Yuan's authentic works." Since the Song Dynasty, Dong Yuan's imitations have emerged in endlessly, and Bada Shanren and Zhang Daqian have all imitated his paintings. In my opinion, it is unlikely that it is imitated by the Song people, and it may encounter modern high imitations and old-fashioned ones!"
"So, it's also difficult to buy a high imitation, so I can call a master like you. ”
