When Shakespeare came to the Freud Foundation for the Arts for the third time with Two Trees, Brown, Bord, and six other experts from the Royal College of Art, Tate, and the National Gallery gathered almost the entire United Kingdom to the authoritative researcher of Freud, who was born in Berlin but finally became a British pride - even when "Draxy" appeared, there was no such huge pomp.

After all, this involves the integrity of a world-renowned gallery, and everyone knows that once Two Trees is considered genuine, unless Freud painted two identical works, all the Freud works sold in Cologdia will be questioned. This involves several top art funds, art museums, and influential private collectors.

That would be a huge scandal that would shock the art world.

The influence will at least be on par with the Nordler Gallery's counterfeiting scandal.

The experts looked around the painting for three hours, using a magnifying glass, and studied it inch by inch. A strong light torch was used, and it was illuminated from front to back. Plus the nose, fingertips.

However, all signs prove that this is the work of Freud.

Even those who think they have studied canvas have to admit that the canvas used in this painting is the same one that Freud used - although this does not prove anything, after all, Freud is so close to the present that many people have used the same canvas as him. At the very least, however, they can't veto it on this point.

Yes, now, most of them want it to be fake.

However, this work by Lin Haven is even more real than the real thing.

Usually the appraisal experts want to determine that this is the authentic work of a certain artist, must be determined from a number of rules they summarized, from the perspective of oil painting, color, structure, techniques, unique small techniques, etc., of course, some oil paintings also have a signature - "Two Trees" has a signature, but obviously, Lin Haven, who has entered the bubble state, is Freud's regeneration, and the inscription really can't be real.

When Lin Haven painted, he deliberately followed most of the terms of the appraisal, which is actually equivalent to Freud recreating "Two Trees" according to the standards of the connoisseurs. In this way, compared with the original, in the eyes of this group of experts, of course, it is more like the truth. After all, when Freud actually created his own works, he could not follow the so-called terms and conditions, or in other words, these summarized terms and conditions, and it was impossible for Freud to be fully effective for each of Freud's paintings—then he was not an artist, but a printer.

In many cases, the expert appraisal must be far-fetched - in most cases, the other few are less demanding.

And Lin Haven's "Two Trees" is like handing bread to people who are dying of hunger, and almost all the main bases are completely fitted.

"It's a little new?"

"More than 30 years, if it is well preserved, it is not a problem. ”

“...... All right. ”

Bode, a professor at the Tate, took a breath and looked at his peers: "Now we have to make a decision to refuse the appraisal of this painting." Or is it OK, it's a typical, fully mature Freudian painting. The one sold in Cologdia, on the other hand, is questionable in a number of inconspicuous respects. ”

Silence, long silence.

Brown felt his voice hoarse: "Is it possible that Freud actually painted two?"

"There has never been a precedent, and Freud's habit would never have been. ”

It's unbelievable that an artist who is so self-conscious and individualistic repeats his own work.

If he refused, he could have gone to other agencies, even if they were not authoritative. In the end, whether it is public opinion, the market, or even the court, we will still be forced to come forward, and we must not always stubbornly resist. This will make people wonder if we are mixing interests. A Foundation expert shook his head: "We should be brave enough to face all this. ”

This kind of silence for half an hour lasted until late.

Outside Shakespeare's special laboratory, he shuddered slightly when he saw them in such a difficult way—and if it was true, it would be tens of millions of dollars. It's not the most valuable piece of art their company has ever handled, but it's still exciting to get tens of millions of dollars in tow.

Eventually, the experts began to withdraw, and Shakespeare's eyes looked through the glass as the staff more and more carefully put away the work and then put it back into his hands.

Brown's voice, because of the long work, was a little unstable: "Mr. Shakespeare, we basically think that this "Two Trees" by your commission is genuine. After the final confirmation, we hope to hold a press conference to correct our previous mistakes and inform the public. Sigmund Freud's "Two Trees" is in your hands, I wonder if you will be able to cooperate, or, preferably, your client will be able to attend?"

"I'm sorry, my client doesn't want to be known, I can cooperate. ”

"Okay. ”

The news of the authenticity of the work quickly reached Lin Haiwen's ears, and he smiled, and the brush in his hand did not stop.

The Art Foundation moved quickly, and after the basic confirmation, some technical appraisals were carried out, and of course, everything was true. After full confirmation, they quickly held a press conference in London, with Brown, as the spokesperson, reading out their statement.

In their statement, they confirmed that the "Two Trees" in the hands of the client was undoubtedly Freud's authenticity. As for the one in Cologdia, they can't tell if it's a Freud forgery, so they will withdraw the previous appraisal report and refund the Corondia appraisal fee.

Although they are worded so.

But the media still reported on the incident under the headline "Freud's original work of the same name was born, and Cologdia was suspected of forgery".

The authoritative art media "Art Times" took stock of the longitude and latitude of 13 Freud paintings sold in Cologdia, and found that 5 of them, including "Two Trees", "The Couch Girl in Red" and "The Wandering Negro", had no clear source. Neither the old Horner's public statements nor all kinds of corroborating evidence say where they were obtained. Compared with others, these five paintings are particularly suspicious from clear channels such as Freud himself, Freud's agent, and art exhibitions.

Perhaps they did have a source, and the elder Horner died for one reason or another, or not at all, and he died without revealing it.

In fact, if it weren't for that, Lin Haven wouldn't have chosen them.

"Unless the previous owners of these paintings can come forward and provide evidence, Cologia will be saddled with unexplained suspicions that will completely destroy the reputation and even finances of this long-established gallery if it faces a lawsuit." ”

Cologdia quickly held a press conference, and Horner and Ted denied all the accusations in a loud voice. (To be continued.) )
