Chapter 1078: It's Awesome My Country
Lin Haven showed a big smile, a bright smile.
"I'm from China, do you know China? On the other side of the mountain, on the other side of the sea, there is a group of yellow-skinned people—on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, a country of 1.4 billion people, is my motherland!"
There is no one who does not know Huaguo.
If there were still people who didn't know about it 30 years ago, it is extinct today, and where are there still Americans who don't know about China?
So Lin Haven is particularly hateful.
Everyone knew what he meant, and Chairman Cheberry wanted to shut him up, but of course, he held back, so Lin Haven was able to continue to smug proudly: "In terms of the art market alone, the overall size of China has surpassed that of the United States and is the largest in the world." There, of course, Chinese paintings, all kinds of antiques, etc., occupy a larger share, and oil paintings are a little more marginal – but, for me, that's not a problem. My "Eight Works of Porcelain" and, of course, "Bird, Bird, Bird", have set a record price for my works, and my compatriots love me very much, of course, this is inseparable from my humble efforts, charity, and virtue to convince others.
In fact, I am the same in the international community, otherwise so many friends just now would not have praised me vigorously.
So, I'm saying this, and I'm sure you all know what I mean, especially Miss Rahmon. For me personally, the market in China is big enough, so big that I don't have to think about what you said, what market, what comments and so on.
Finally, I must emphasize to you that the most important thing is my insistence on art and my attitude towards doing whatever it takes. ”
Rahmon did want to ease Lin Haven, but the reason was nothing else, she had a good relationship with Chu Weiwei, and Delis and Rahmon had been colleagues for more than ten years and worked for the same news agency. And when Rahmon was reporting on the heritage of a large Buddha statue in the war zone, Dalise helped her a lot.
She also knew that Delith had started working with a Chinese journalist a few years earlier, and that the two had even done independent journalism together. As a good friend, Rahmon, of course, had the opportunity to meet her partner, and Chu Weiwei.
Similarly, as a reporter on the cultural and artistic line, it is difficult to bypass Lin Haven on topic, and it is natural to know that Chu Weiwei and Lin Haven know each other - after all, Chu Weiwei and Delis's slogan, the night gave me black eyes, but I used it to find light, this is Lin Haven's work.
But she didn't expect Lin Haven to be so hard.
In a word: There are people behind Lao Tzu, 1.4 billion, relying on you to eat? Don't put gold on your face!
At this time, if we don't take advantage of the motherland's strength, when will we wait?
Rahmon was the last to ask the question, but after Lin Haven answered, he was a little unsatisfied, and he took a special look at Gagosian's Larry: "You look at Gagosian's Larry, his gallery is in the Western world, but what about in China? Not many people know. Christie's—"
Christie's is going to cry, I know that you have cooperated with Sotheby's, but don't target us everywhere, okay?
Christie's is also a very good auction house in the West, but in our country, it does not even have a third of the Guardian auction. Huaguo is a very different market, where the market has its own players, or power holders. However, I'm sorry that I, Lin Haven, am one of them. ”
"Mr. Lin—" Cheberg cleared his throat, trying to put an end to it.
"One last word. ”
“...... All right. ”
"The last thing I want to tell you is that I'm a billionaire, about three or four billion dollars, I'm rich, very rich. At least more money than the vast majority of people here, a group of poor ghosts said that they would make a billionaire have no money to make, hahaha, laughing grandpa. ”
“......”
Cheberry thought he was on a Broadway stage.
Did such a dramatic plot really appear in front of him?
......
Old Gaspey and Gerhard watched everything in silence, and the two old men looked at each other when Lin Haven bowed down from the stage: "It seems that he is more suitable to be a modern artist than us." ”
Old Gaspé satirized the status quo a little, and the modern artist has been equated with raunchy psychosis for quite some time.
“...... He was originally a modern artist. Gerhard laughed: "He's only 27 years old, and he's a complete modern artist." ”
"He doesn't care about these people at all, but even though he scolded me, I still feel good," said old Gaspey, with rare excitement: "Those vampires, bed bugs, should have been scolded a long time ago." ”
As artists, and unlike commercial artists like Jeff Koons, these two are still pure artists, and they will inevitably feel a little uncomfortable with many of the rules in the art industry—and even they have publicly criticized some negative phenomena and points.
Gerhard didn't answer if Lin really didn't care.
But not far away, at the table of Damon and Larry Gagosian at Sotheby's, Dimon answered a similar question from Larry: "Of course he doesn't care about the American market at all, or the European and American markets, he just doesn't care about the slowdown in the rise, to please all of us, he can become a $200 million single artist in five years, and if he doesn't please us, it may take ten years — that's what he doesn't care about." ”
Larry understood what Dimon meant, and Lin Haven was certainly making a lot of nonsense, but it was impossible for so many people below to really want to completely ban him - especially in Europe, where the classical school has a strong foundation, but it lacks a leading goose, a bright spot that attracts the attention of collectors and the public, and Lin Haven is the best at it.
What's more, as Lin Haven said, he still has such a big Chinese market.
In this case, the most they fought back was to slow down some of the upward momentum of Lin Haven, and then the art became more controversial – many praised and many criticized. But in the art world, this is not a problem, and the entire life cycle of contemporary abstract art is accompanied by this situation, and those who think they can understand it are crazy about it, and those who can't understand it are dismissed as rubbish.
"Phew, fuccck!" Larry cursed.
"Snort. ”
"What are you laughing at? It's not good for Sotheby's. ”
"Not necessarily," Dimon whispered, "the demand for art is certain, 100 billion or 120 billion, and it doesn't matter whether they buy abstract paintings or classical paintings." Sotheby's can also sell classical paintings, such as Lin Haven's own, a painting costs 80 million dollars, whether alive or dead, few people can surpass him! In fact, your gallery is also - of course, you are more limited by style, but it is not impossible to turn back. In particular, Gagosa itself is more diverse and complex, and you have enough room to maneuver. And—"
"And every important artistic battle is a great opportunity to make the cake bigger?" asked Larry, blinking.
"Uh-huh. ”
“...... In fact, you only supported Lin Haven because he scolded Christie's, not Sotheby's, right?"
"How could it be, you were scolded by Lin Haven pointing at your nose, don't you still have to support him? Why can't you get along with the US dollar, or even the yuan? What about scolding two sentences? You should enjoy them. ”
"Wait for Lin Haven to let you enjoy it. ”
"Enjoy what?" Lin Haven finally returned to his place in his admiring gaze all the way.
