In many industries, it is taboo to find two groups of people in one job, and it can make the other person feel questioned. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

However, this is not the case with art appreciation, and generally a precious artwork must find more than three authoritative appraisal institutions for appreciation.

This has something to do with buyers, there are so many buyers around the world, they can't trust the same appraisal agency, some trust this, some trust that, then they have to sell at a good price, and it is best to identify this and that.

Rogge helped Li Du to contact more comprehensively, and the two appraisal agencies are very authoritative, one is a commercial auction house, and the other is a museum specializing in collection routes, which can basically allow all buyers to accept the final appraisal results.

Experts from both institutions knew each other, and after they met, they shook hands with each other and exchanged pleasantries together:

"Ha, Mr. Kevin, I'm so happy to meet you here, let's go have a drink when the results come out?"

"Of course, Mr. Sanders is here too? I still remember the last time we met in New York. ”

"Dr. Sugri, it's a pleasure to meet you, please take a seat."

These people are very enthusiastic, but their enthusiasm is aimed at each other, Li Du as a customer, but no one cares, this is unreasonable.

However, Li Du has a good temper, but he is a little dissatisfied in his heart, but he does not show it in his expression.

After the greetings, the two sides sat down, and the eldest, Dr. Kevin, said, "Mr. Li, I think you can take out the oil painting now, but before the appraisal, I have something I want to say, is it okay?" ”

"Whatever." Li Du said as he drank his coffee.

Dr. Kevin tapped his finger on the table and said, "According to Mr. Rogge, you are referring to Van Gogh's 1882 Scheveningen Beach and 1884-1885 Leaving the Nieonen Chapel." ”

"Yes."

Dr. Kevin smiled wryly and said, "These two paintings were stolen about forty years ago, and there have been a lot of "Scheveningen Beach" and "Leaving the Church of Nienen" on the market, so I hope you are prepared. ”

Li Du understood what he meant and asked, "Do you suspect that these are two fake paintings?" ”

Sanders, an expert at the Los Angeles Art Collection Center, replied: "Maybe it's a high imitation, it's hard to tell if it's real or fake, and there will always be misunderstandings." ”

Li Du smiled and said: "I understand, you can appraise it, no matter what the result is, I will accept it." ”

Several experts glanced at each other, motioned for Li Du to open the oil painting, and they began to work.

Rogge invited two groups of experts, also for the sake of having two paintings, and happened to be separated, with one group each responsible for one painting, and then exchanging opinions.

Oil painting identification is a simple and complex matter, and it is said to be simple because if it is a fake, then the experts only need to find a loophole and determine the result.

But if the painting is genuine, it will be difficult to give the authenticity of the authenticity, and it will require experts to examine and dialectically from all sides before the results can be made.

The auction house is looking at Scheveningen Beach, a work that uses bold lines and bright golden yellow to represent the roaring, turbulent sea before a storm.

When the oil painting was opened, several experts gasped when they saw it.

A famous artist is a famous artist after all, Van Gogh can lead the trend of oil painting for more than a century, but it is not because everyone is hyping him, his oil paintings do have extraordinary charm.

On top of the canvas, the portrait presents a magnificent scene, and the experts have seen so many original Van Gogh and fakes that just one glance makes them feel that this may be the real thing!

The art industry pays a lot of attention to the feeling, that is, the sixth sense, and the very good veteran expert, when looking at a work of art, first follow the feeling.

If they feel that this is a fake painting, they will find a loophole, and if they feel that it is genuine, they will argue in the direction of the real work.

Dr. Kevin carefully looked at the lines of the painting with a magnifying glass and said: "The color of the oil painting is bold enough, the lines are delicate and stiff, with the style of Japanese printmaking, and the portrait does not have the standard 'three-dimensional realism', which is in line with the characteristics ......of Van Gogh's paintings."

"The canvas is rough, broken and moth-eaten, with small grains of sand on the surface, which have been embedded in the canvas and have been integrated into one, apparently for a long time......"

"According to historical records, Van Gogh spent time on the beach of Scheveningen near The Hague during the creation of this painting, and he had to fight against the raging sea breeze while painting, and many of the sand and damp that blew on the painting and eventually left ......"

Three of the four were conducting the examination, one was describing the painting they were talking about, and of the three forensic experts, Dr. Kevin was using a magnifying glass, Dr. Sugri was examining the canvas and paint, and the other was scanning the portrait with a small machine.

As the appraisal unfolded, the expressions of the two groups of experts became more and more solemn, their eyes became more and more serious, and they were no longer as frivolous as they are now.

Li Du understood that the reason why these two groups of people didn't take themselves seriously just now was because they estimated that their paintings were fake paintings and regarded themselves as fools who tried to get rich overnight.

The appraisal lasted for two and a half hours, and Li Du studied with the experts, although he could not understand the terminology spoken by these people, and he could not keep up with their appraisal ideas.

However, he did learn something more, which definitely helped him in his career.

The Los Angeles Art Collection Center was the first to produce the results, and Sanders, an oil painting expert, looked at him in shock and said, "God, this "Leaving the Church of Nieernen" is real! ”

Li Du smiled: "That's really great, but it's not a surprise, I know that they are real, and real paintings can always be distinguished at a glance." ”

Sanders and his colleagues took out a certificate from their bag and began to write their results, then signed and stamped them.

After another quarter of an hour, the results of Christie's came out, and the four of them had the same surprised expressions on their faces.

Professor Kevin said: "Mr. Li, after our appraisal and negotiation, we unanimously believe that this painting of yours is genuine, and you have found a world-famous painting that has been lost for nearly half a century!" ”

Li Du said: "I am so lucky, this is really a happy thing. ”

The two sides didn't dare to underestimate him anymore, and their attitudes towards him suddenly changed greatly, one by one, 'Mr. Li', nodding and bowing during the speech, and using honorifics in the words.

Then they swapped the two paintings and continued to appraise them, which took more than two hours.

However, the two sides were not tired, but became more and more energetic and emotional.

For those of them who love art and oil painting, it is a pleasure to be able to identify the world's famous paintings, and it is also a good opportunity to improve their skills and gain experience.
