Chapter 138: Uproar
The finale is naturally Yang Fan's "Begonia Spring Sleep Picture", which has been lost for hundreds of years and is of immeasurable value, and one-third of those present are aimed at this national treasure-level ancient painting.
Luo Lao and the others were all in good spirits, and He Tan had a hunch that this item would break the record of the ancient painting auction at their auction, so he was a little nervous.
"What price do you think this ancient painting will fetch for auction?" asked He Tan.
In their auction house, ancient paintings once sold for more than 70 million yuan. Although it looks very remarkable, it is a bit inconspicuous in the auction of ancient Chinese paintings in the world.
Yang Fan shook his head, the estimation of price has always been his shortcoming, especially this long-lost ancient painting, which is even more difficult to estimate. For Tang Yin's name, or for the reason of being lost, some rich people may spend a lot of money, and this kind of item is the most difficult to say.
"It's hard to say. ”
"I have a hunch that it may break 80 million. He Tan said.
Yang Fan couldn't help but glance at this guy, and said secretly: It's not that exaggerated, right?
Although it is Tang Yin's masterpiece, it is not a masterpiece, or a pinnacle work, and 80 million is a bit exaggerated. Of course, loss is an uncertain factor.
"Why? Don't believe it? Last time, a "Migration Map of Zhichuan" was auctioned for 400 million. The status of ancient paintings in the auction is getting higher and higher, and there are many more than 10 million. He Tan said with a clear eye.
Not long ago, at the Poly Spring Auction, Yuan Dynasty painter Wang Meng's "Zhichuan Migration Map" was auctioned at a sky-high price of 400 million yuan, shocking the whole world.
A painting, 400 million, for people outside the industry, is incredible, but for those who know the inside story, it is expected.
First of all, the overall price of paintings and calligraphy in the Yuan Dynasty was very high in the auction market. The Yuan Dynasty lasted less than 100 years, but it has a very important position in the history of Chinese painting, not only creating a new world of Chinese literati painting, but also giving birth to Zhao Mengzhuo, as well as Huang Gongwang, Wang Meng, Ni Zhan, Wu Zhen and other calligraphy and painting masters who were collectively called "Yuan Four Families" by later generations.
Yang Fan also heard about this, and to be honest, he was also extremely shocked.
"The lifespan of ancient paintings and calligraphy is only about 1,000 years, and the calligraphy and painting of the Yuan Dynasty, which has a history of nearly 800 years, especially the calligraphy and painting of famous artists, are very precious. Still, 400 million is too surprising. Yang Fan shook his head.
The exponential increase in the value of these items is inseparable from the frenzied hype of these auction houses.
He knows that today's calligraphy and painting in the Yuan Dynasty are very rare, and most of them are collected in major museums at home and abroad as national treasures. This makes the paintings and calligraphy of the Yuan Dynasty rarely appear in the auctions at home and abroad, and when they do, they appear to be "bullish".
"Wang Meng's works, with a little hype, hundreds of millions are not impossible. Qi Lao smiled bitterly.
At that time, he was still at the scene, witnessing the madness of that scene, Rao was too old to speak. The gringos always say that our ancient Chinese paintings are not as good as their oil paintings, abstract paintings, etc. But after the painting came out, the gringos were also stunned for a long time.
Wang Meng, one of the "Four Families of the Yuan Dynasty", has extremely high artistic achievements in his calligraphy and painting, representing the highest level of painting in the Yuan Dynasty, and has been highly respected in all dynasties.
After the auction, the gringos directly compared Wang Meng to their Van Gogh.
"What's more, that ancient painting has also been lost for decades. Luo Lao added.
In the 60s of the last century, Guoyunlou was copied, and a large number of paintings and calligraphy treasured by the descendants of the Gu family were confiscated, including the "Zhichuan Migration Map". It is said that after the "Zhichuan Migration Map" was copied, a descendant of the Gu family thought that he would never lose this map, and in despair, he jumped into the icy Suzhou River.
He Tan smiled slightly, so it seemed that it was similar to the "Begonia Spring Sleep Picture" that they were going to auction next? It was in this way that he was so sure that this painting would definitely break the auction record of their auction house.
Maybe Qi Lao and the others are bitter in their hearts, if they want to compete for that ancient painting, the price they have to pay is really not small!
"Okay, I'm not going to delay everyone's time. The next treasure, I believe everyone knows it, right? That's right! It is the "Begonia Spring Sleep Map" that has been lost for hundreds of years, and the works of Tang Bohu, the four great talents of the Ming Dynasty, have appeared in allusions many times, and it has always been a legend for everyone. As he spoke, the auctioneer himself cheered up.
He knew that this painting would probably be the best auction item of his life, and that it would be a huge breakthrough for his fame and financial income.
Under the eyes of everyone's expectation, "Begonia Spring Sleep Map" is displayed in front of everyone's eyes.
On the picture, a piece of begonia flowers is in full bloom, but in front of the beautiful woman in the painting, it is unexpectedly eclipsed. The beauty in the picture sank into infinite thoughts, which made everyone present feel sorry for the beauty and wanted to share their worries.
On the right side of the picture, there is also a poem: Fade the east wind and cover your face, poor butterfly powder and bee madness. From now on, who can say that a piece of spring heart pays begonias.
"Absolutely. "Someone immediately applauded.
"It's a name well deserved!" the man next to him chimed in.
Almost everyone was talking, but Hu Wei and they were not interested.
That's because they know that this item will fetch a sky-high price, and they will definitely not spend so much money to compete for this ancient painting.
"Bald head! This painting is related to your Buddhism, so hurry up and do it!" Hu Wei said.
"Amitabha! Color is emptiness! Non-yes! Non-yes! Although this treasure is a heavy treasure, it has nothing to do with my Buddha. Although the monk wanted to get his hands on this ancient painting, he had to retreat from it in view of the sky-high price that was about to be auctioned.
At this time, the auctioneer began to shout: "After many appraisals, this painting is Tang Yin's authentic work." Then, its reserve price is 20 million, and each increase must not be less than 1 million, and the auction starts now. ”
The reserve price alone made about half of the people present shake their heads and smile bitterly and withdraw to see the excitement.
"Twenty-one million!"
"Twenty-five million!"
"Thirty million!"
In just a few seconds, the price rose by 10 million, which made everyone present secretly speechless. They all expected that the auction would fetch a sky-high price, but this speed still made most people a little overwhelmed!
"It's horrible!"
"yes, I don't know what the final price will be. ”
……
The most exciting thing is He Tan, these auction house people. Even Yang Fan also cheered up. This will be the biggest amount of money in his life for the time being, and I am looking forward to it!
Thanks for unloading that glorious tip!
