Chapter 483: His heart can be punished

Calder is America's most sought-after modern artist with an international reputation, and one of the most important innovators in 20th-century sculpture.

The artwork that Kaitai took out turned out to be the masterpiece of this statue master, which was completely beyond everyone's expectations. You must know that Kaitai was unknown before this and was considered by everyone to be Park Zhixuan's forward pawn, but he didn't expect this unknown little man to come up with something that shocked everyone.

Calder had a mature work auctioned off a few years earlier, due to the financial crisis, which made it less competitive, but it fetched more than $3 million. The fact that the financial crisis was able to make such a market is a testament to the popularity of Calder's work in the market.

Because it is the masterpiece of Calder, the master of sculpture, everyone pays great attention to it.

Originally, everyone who still had doubts, after seeing the joint signatures of several internationally renowned appraisers, felt that its authenticity was guaranteed. Although this item is Calder's early masterpiece, the artistic achievement is naturally difficult to compare with the mature period, but it will also be widely popular in the market.

Ming Lao, who has studied foreign art for a long time, lamented: "Calder's creative style is unique, and he is famous for his moving sculptures and static sculptures. His work spans a wide range of fields, from giant steel sculptures, paintings, and tapestries to gemstone designs, in public spaces around the world. His static sculptures show the dancing posture of dragonflies and water, and his movable steel sculptures rely on the power of the wind to produce the beauty of dynamic balance. Although this work is an early static sculpture, it already has a strong innovative concept, which shows that his talent is innate. ”

Zhou You also sighed: "Calder is a famous teacher, and his father is also a famous sculptor, and when he went to Paris to receive the baptism of avant-garde art, he finally developed a unique style of sculpture. Although this artwork is a bit shy, it is enough to show his extraordinary talent and establish his transcendent status as a future master sculptor. ”

Mr. Bai's research on foreign artworks is not as good as that of Ming Lao, but what he saw was another point, and he sighed: "Koreans should not be underestimated, they quietly come out with such exquisite artworks, and they are only forward chess pieces, which shows that their preparation is not inferior to that of Japan." It seems that our arch-rival this time will be South Korea. ”

Everyone nodded their heads, saddened by the difficulties they were facing.

Later, several Korean collectors came out to exchange their collections one after another, and I don't know if the Koreans are smart or what, they are not as disgusting as in the world, openly claiming that other people's things are theirs, and they are completely steady, and some even showed a copy of the "Joseon Royal Rituals" that recorded the ceremonies of the Joseon Dynasty, the weddings of the royal family and nobles.

The Joseon Dynasty, which ruled from 1392 to 1910, was the last feudal dynasty in Korea and has a profound significance in the history of the Korean Peninsula. Its appearance not only made the scene a little boiling, but also made the collectors on the North Korean side excited.

It's just that there are too few collectors in North Korea, and only three of them have the qualifications to exhibit, and all of them are still wearing official status. Not to mention that they can't make trouble on behalf of North Korea's face, even if they want to, they can't make trouble, which is very tragic.

Then it was the turn of the Japanese collectors.

The Japanese collectors, who had already lost face twice in a row, could not afford to go any further, otherwise they would not have to return to their home countries, because once they returned home, they would be drowned by the spit of the masses at home.

But I have to say that with a lineup of nearly 17 people, they really have hole cards.

The first one took out a famous Japanese porcelain and saved them a lot of fame. Immediately afterwards, two more took out ancient famous knives with hundreds of years of history, and the original owners of these two ancient famous knives were famous in history, which made Japan arrogant again.

This was followed by either masterpieces by internationally renowned painters or works by their masters of Japanese modern art, launching a tidal onslaught on collectors from other regions. And this onslaught evolved to the most ** when it was the turn of Rukawa Eiichi.

Rukawa Eiichi finally came to the stage, and as soon as he made a move, he was a complete set of fine porcelain: "Ladies and gentlemen, what I am showing here is a proud masterpiece by a modern Japanese porcelain master, a complete set of painted octagonal porcelain bowls. This style of porcelain, which combines delicacy and roughness in a single vessel, can be pleasing to the eye when used by noble collectors, and is a rare noble everyday vessel.

"Everyday utensils!"

"Advertise here!"

"Oh no, this guy's entry point is modern porcelain!"

After the uproar, Chinese collectors immediately realized that something was wrong. Because in modern porcelain technology, China's porcelain has always been regarded as a stall, and even the world's top standards cannot be entered, which is simply the greatest shame for China, as the birthplace of porcelain.

Now Rukawa Eiichi is starting from here, which is a vain attempt to break through the barriers of China from modern porcelain as an entry point, and his heart can be punished.

Ming Lao felt this most deeply and lamented: "The invention of pottery is an important symbol of the development of human civilization; porcelain represents Chinese history and culture, and ancient Western countries called China porcelain (China). The texture of ceramics is noble, ceramic culture has always been the pride of Chinese, in ancient Western society, porcelain and gold equivalent. But nowadays, whether at home or abroad, porcelain branded as 'Made in China' has been reduced to a stall on many occasions, and it is difficult to get into the hall of elegance. The most tragic thing is that in the 60s of the last century, China exported a piece of porcelain for 30 cents, and today it is still 30 cents, while the export price of similar products from other countries is probably more than 3-4 US dollars. ”

When you hear this data, you are very sad.

An angry Chinese collector didn't seem to have turned his head around yet, and asked Rukawa Eidai in a loud voice: "Mr. Rukawa, this is an art exchange meeting, not an advertising time." If your company doesn't have much business, we might be able to help. ”

Originally, it was a satirical joke, but no one echoed the scene.

The collector was still a little puzzled, and looked around, wondering why everyone was holding back. But seeing Rukawa Eiichi's smiling face, he finally came to his senses, but it was too late.

Rukawa Rong smiled and asked, "This gentleman, I don't know if you know the five famous modern porcelain brands?"

The collector's face grew more and more embarrassed.

Eiichi Rukawa continues: "The world's top five porcelain brands are Meissen and Rosenthal in Germany, Royal Dalton and Wedgwood in the UK, and Norita Tako in Japan. Although China's ancient porcelain is famous all over the world, when it comes to modern porcelain craftsmanship. Perhaps Chinese porcelain can be seen all over the streets, but it is a pity that it is difficult to experience in the upper circles. ”

This shot hit the heart of all the Chinese present.

The scene instantly became embarrassing.

"I don't think so. ”

A man of about thirty years old stood up and walked to the podium with a natural face.

"It's him!"

When Zhou You saw this man, he immediately recognized him.

He is the representative of Jiang Hailiu, surnamed Jiang Mingbo, and he participated in the previous Longque Jade Exchange Meeting on behalf of Jiang Hailiu. He and his beautiful female companion had a prominent performance in the Dragonbird Jade Exchange Party, and finally snatched the valuable piece of bright green glass.

Jiang Bo, who has always been silent, was very silent before this and rarely joined everyone's communication circle, but he who represents Jiang Hailiu has always been concerned by Zhou You, and when Zhou You saw him stand up, he knew that there was a solution to the matter.

He Tianyao obviously knew Jiang Bo, and ordered no one to obstruct Jiang Bo when he walked to the presiding stage with things.

Jiang Bo was also calm, still chic in the face of Rukawa Eiichi's sharp eyes, and also exhibited a complete set of porcelain in front of everyone. The most outstanding thing is that Jiang Bo's porcelain is more comprehensive than Rukawa Eiichi's, with a total of twenty-four pieces, covering all the types of household tableware.

Jiang Bo proudly introduced: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the daily porcelain series successfully developed by Li Youyu, a famous porcelain master in China, recently - the miracle of the prosperous era. ”

"Hanguang porcelain!"

Everyone exclaimed in unison.

Jiang Bo said: "This is the latest research of the 181 daily porcelain series, this set of Hanguang porcelain main technical parameters are more than all domestic ceramics so far. In terms of quality, it not only surpasses the 1975 Taizu Hospitality Porcelain, but also rivals the world's five major porcelain brands. It can be said that the successful development of "Miracle of the Prosperous Age" marks a breakthrough in the production of contemporary ceramics in China. ”

"Good!"

The vast majority of those present applauded.

Rukawa Rongichi was also calm, and asked modestly: "Then I don't know what kind of achievements and evaluations this set of "Miracle of the Prosperous Times" has achieved internationally. If we rely on Mr. Zhuang's words alone, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to be convinced. ”

Jiang Bo replied with a smile: "Although "Miracle of the Prosperous Age" has just been researched and has not yet had time to make a name for itself in the world, their technology has been recognized. I'm not afraid to tell you that the reference standard of "The Miracle of the Prosperous Age" is the official kilns of the Ming and Qing dynasties before Qianlong, China, as well as the most high-end foreign porcelain products represented by Meissen. Prior to this, after visiting Hanguang porcelain, Australian ceramic glass experts directly praised "The Miracle of the Prosperous Age" as a contemporary masterpiece, even if the world's famous porcelain can not be compared with it, and the Japanese porcelain masters who have never looked down on us are also amazed again and again when they see the "Miracle of the Prosperous Age". If you don't believe me, you can investigate immediately. ”

"Good!"

This time, the applause became more and more intense.

Rukawa Eiichi looked at Jiang Bo hatefully, eager to swallow him alive. However, he also knew that Jiang Bo was not stupid enough to deceive himself in this regard, after all, it was too simple for Rukawa Eiichi, who had a deep influence in Japan, to investigate such evidence, and Jiang Bo was not stupid enough to open his eyes and say nonsense.

But when he thought of the original perfect plan, he suffered a setback at the beginning, and Rukawa Eiichi was really unwilling.

Looking at the smiling faces of the Chinese present, Rukawa Rongyi was heartbroken and said loudly: "Since you are so enthusiastic, I have to take out the last collection for everyone to enjoy." ”
