Chapter 0404: Death of Colondia

sent Gu Haiyan to the contact hotel of the Zhonghe Provincial Beijing Office, Lin Haiwen didn't stay long, and just now in the car, the two of them talked about it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Zhonghetai hosts, they naturally have to contribute a little more, but this year is the first one, so in fact, all parties are working hard. At a higher level, even Gu Haiyan can't reach it, and it has to be her top boss Hao Mengcheng to operate.

Gu Haiyan came to the capital this time mainly to meet several members of a special committee of the Radio and Television Committee, all of whom were connected by various connections, and she came over to invite a meal to express her sincerity.

Lin Haven didn't attend.

He didn't know if there was any of his enemies in it.

After all, there are many enemies.

If Gu Haiyan's head is useful, it will not be too late for him to come forward. For such a big project, his influence is still very limited and cannot be reached.

Gu Haiyan stayed in the capital for three days, and she didn't use Lin Haven, so she flew back to Los Angeles.

Lin Haven didn't send her, someone on the other side of the Beijing Office was willing to show her presence anyway. Gu Haiyan is in Zhonghe, and that is also a popular celebrity. Several TV series, two Spring Festival Galas, a "National Treasure Archive", and a "Bite of Huaguo" have completely launched Zhonghetai's fame, and their investment in scarce advertising resources in the first half of the year has increased more than ten times, reaching nearly 2.5 billion.

The title of "National Treasure Archive", the title of the Golden Solo Theater, and the title and sponsorship of the program "Distant Home" are all hundreds of millions, especially Lin Haven's new program "Distant Home", although it is the first season, a sports brand, a sports drink brand, and a car brand have jointly sponsored more than 500 million. Push the advertising record of a single project of Zhonghe Station to an unreachable position.

Especially now, the project of the Spring Festival Gala jointly organized by eight provinces and two cities is also the top priority of Zhonghe, you must know that in this eight provinces and two cities, there are municipalities with higher political status such as Haicheng and Tiannan, as well as more developed provinces such as Jiaodong and Yangjiang, and as a result, Zhonghe was hosted for the first time.

Lin Haiwen's factors are certainly there, but the ability shown by Zhonghetai and Gu Haiyan in the past two years is definitely also an important factor.

Velázquez's "Textile Woman" has been basically completed, when he had just obtained Velázquez's imprint, Rembrandt's light sense secret book, the levitation ball has undergone a big change, and then decided to paint a representative work of Velázquez to verify the meaning of the levitating ball bubbles. But I didn't expect that this painting was not finished, but was first used in Freud's work.

……

On the grounds of the Freud Foundation for Art in London, England, a man holds a painting, followed by two bodyguard-like figures.

The Foundation is used to it, especially in the years since Floyd's death, when his works have risen dramatically, and he originally held the auction record for a living painter, which was about $35 million. But once he passed away, the price soared to more than 100 million. This is the difference between living and not living, even if Freud was 88 years old at the time, and he was a dying old man who didn't paint much.

The art market has created such a solidified ladder of upgrades.

In fact, for most normal painters, once they reach age, it is difficult to have enough works to affect the market price. Is there any difference between 500 surviving paintings and 550 surviving paintings?

"Hello sir, do you want to authenticate the work of Lucian Freud?"

The staff took a register with a dozen records, all of which were recent. In fact, the Foundation's main job is not identification. The collection, research, and exhibition of Freud's paintings are their main job.

"Yes," the man registered, and the signature was Shakespeare.

"You'll need to pay £1,000, and if the preliminary appraisal is genuine, you'll need to pay £5,000 for further appraisal, okay?"

"I know. ”

The staff breathed a sigh of relief, some people thought that they owned a Freud work in the tens of millions, but felt that the appraisal fee was huge, and they were completely unwilling.

After making an appointment and paying the money, "Shakespeare" took the people away again.

"What's wrong? Freud again?" another staff member leaned over: "Shakespeare? hahaha, if it were me, I'd rather write Hamlet." ”

You don't need to use your real name for registration, this is an unspoken rule, and it's not a peaceful world now.

"It's not for the Draksi, but now everyone thinks that what they have in their hands is probably the real thing. The staff grinned: "But apart from "Draxi", no second one has been found so far." Freud was a recluse, and now professors don't know why there is such a painting as "Draksi", and if another one appears, it will be a re-study of Freud's interpersonal relationships. ”

Three days later, Shakespeare came back with the paintings.

Brown, one of the Foundation's researchers, received him, didn't say much, and opened the painting directly, but at the first sight, he smiled: "Hah." ”

"Sir, if you get this work from the Colondia Gallery, then it is genuine. If not, I have to tell you with apologies that it's fake. ”

"Why?"

"Because we identified the same work, wow, this one is really good, that one is from Colognedia, you know, they are the gallery that sells the most Freud paintings. Old Horner once bought a lot of Freudian works from others, and they were all true. Brown looked down: "This work should be called 'Two Trees', created in 1977." I have to say, this work of yours is really very similar, oh my God, I can't tell where it is fake?"

Brown's voice grew lower and lower, and he used his magnifying glass to take a closer look.

The painting method of oil painting is more obvious, because the lines of the oil paint brush are clear. It's not like Chinese painting, when it comes to painting, everyone is confused.

Brown looked at it for a long time, but did not find the slightest inconsistency in these techniques - a typical, even perfect, "Two Trees".

"Oh God. ”

"So, are you sure it's fake?"

"Can you tell me how you got it?"

"I don't know, this is my client entrusted me to send it for identification, he should have been collecting it for a short time. ”

Brown had never hated this form of anonymity so much. Shakespeare's name is fake, and behind him stands an unnamed client, not even gender, age, or nationality...... Well, just throw down a work that could cause a huge ripple.

Brown gritted his teeth: "We have to spend more time, maybe some days of delay. ”

Shakespeare shrugged his shoulders: "I charge for it, it doesn't matter." ”

“…… All right. ”

The determination of the authenticity of a work is never a simple matter, especially when it involves overturning another work. Brown had to gather a large number of experts from inside and outside the Foundation, and then he had to use some equipment, such as scanning imaging with special light, some of the special techniques of oil painters, which were often revealed in the imaging.

"Brown, you're saying you picked up a painting that might be the real thing?"

"Yes, very much like that. ”

"Haha, wasn't it from the Fondation Cartier pour l'art contemporain?" Cologdia's "Two Trees," which was bought by this top foundation, cost nearly $10 million nine years ago, and is now valued at more than $60 million -- this is not Freud's masterpiece, which is worth about one-half to one-third of his masterpiece.

"Bode, I'm not kidding, it's really a special, typical, Freudian work. Do you know what that means? Cologia is faking! Another Nordler?"

“…… Oh, God. (To be continued.) )
