Chapter 294: Chen Shaomei - "Waterfall View"
Chapter 294 Chen Shaomei - "Waterfall View"
"Presumably everyone has already seen this precious Yongle official kiln heavy weapon, so don't talk nonsense, the starting price of 'Ming Yongle blue and white inner and outer bottom dragon pattern rib wash' is five million, and each increase shall not be less than 100,000, start now!"
"Five million one hundred thousand!"
"Five million two million!" ......
This up-and-down sign, almost stopped for a moment, almost so that the auctioneer did not count, but such bidding enthusiasm also made this Yongle official kiln, actually Zhu imitation of fine porcelain, the price is like a rocket, straight up, until more than 10 million, this crazy bidding only slightly declined.
However, at this time, the people who really have the strength to compete for this collection began to stand up and bid, and the people in front of them were more playing soy sauce and trying their luck.
"No. 9 Tibetan friends thirteen million! Is there anything higher?"
"Okay, No. 18 Tibetan friend bid, 13.5 million! Is there anything higher?"
Hearing the auctioneer's words, Ma Lao, who was sitting next to Liu Dong, raised the sign in his hand almost without hesitation, and it was not 100,000, but directly added 500,000.
"No. 23 Tibetan friend bids fourteen million!" the auctioneer's voice was unprecedentedly high-pitched.
When Ma Lao's bidding price of 14 million came out, a few people who were still bidding before hesitated for a moment and put down the bidding signs in their hands.
"9 Good Tibetan friends bid 14.5 million, good, good, is there anything higher?" said that, the auctioneer's eyes moved over the people who had bid more than 10 million just now, with a fiery look in his eyes. And a little provocative.
"Ma Lao, don't bid anymore. That's not the Yongle official kiln at all. It's a fucking 'Zhu Fang'!" Liu Dong shouted in his heart.
But there are some things that you tend to want to happen when they happen.
"Fifteen million!" said Ma Lao's bodyguard who was following him.
"Okay, good, Tibetan friend No. 23 bid fifteen million, is there anything higher?"
Hearing the words 'fifteen million', Liu Dong's brain almost crashed, his heartbeat increased rapidly, and two words echoed in his brain - 'It's over'!
At this time, Ma Lao was also very nervous in his heart, and this fifteen million was almost the highest price he could come up with. If this price is not enough to win this Yongle official kiln heavy weapon, then he has to give up.
"Fifteen million, fifteen million, is there anything higher than fifteen million? Fifteen million once, is there a higher bid? Now the bidding is 'Ming Yongle blue and white inner and outer bottom dragon pattern rib mouth wash', the priceless Yongle official kiln heavy ware, rare in the world, peerless treasure!" The auctioneer's tongue bloomed lotus, and good words were sprayed out without money.
However, the auctioneer's 'flattery' was not thrown to the blind. Just after he dropped the hammer for the second time, the hesitant No. 9 Tibetan friend finally raised the bidding card in his hand.
"Fifteen and a half million! No. 9 Tibetan friend bids fifteen and half a million!" made Liu Dong suspect that this guy should not be an auctioneer, and the profession of tenor may be more suitable for him.
complained weakly, staring at Ma Lao with dead eyes, but this time the old man did not live up to his expectations, and when bidding on the 9th, the heavy disappointment on the old man's face indicated that he had given up.
"Whew! I wasn't so nervous when I was shooting things by myself just now!" Liu Dong sighed lightly, and thought secretly in his heart.
Then the auctioneer was full of temptation, and after two minutes, and then saw that no one was bidding again, he was quite reluctant to drop the hammer.
In the end, this Ming Yongle blue and white inner and outer bottom dragon pattern rib wash 'Zhu Fang' fake also fell into the hands of the No. 9 buyer.
If it is really Ming Yongle blue and white inner and outer bottom dragon pattern prismatic wash, it is probably this price, and even the market price is slightly lower than this. And this fully shows that the value of a truly good thing, no matter where it is, will not fall in the slightest.
…………
After the bidding of this Yongle official kiln, it is obvious that the auction of porcelain has passed. And from the beginning to the present, nearly an hour and a half have passed.
Then he rested for five minutes, let everyone relax, went to the toilet, rested for a while, and then entered the calligraphy and painting auction.
However, I don't know if the Yongle official kiln auction just now exhausted everyone's spirit, in short, the next calligraphy and painting auction has been tepid. Moreover, because the auction is not a famous master's work, most of them are some paintings from the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, so there are more than five or six thousand, one or two thousand.
During this time, Liu Dong also used his relics to find a picture of Master Qi Baishi's shrimp, but the picture is not big, only one square foot, and there are two lines of poetry next to it, but there is no signature of Master Baishi, which greatly reduces the value of this painting. Of course, otherwise, this painting would not have fallen into Liu Dong's hands.
Perhaps seeing that everyone's enthusiasm for calligraphy and painting is not high, the auctioneer decisively pushed out a "Waterfall View" by Chen Shaomei, a master of Chinese painting who was left for auction in the back.
The so-called 'Da Hong Pao' is another name for several sets of large-scale series of paintings published by the 'Tian-Jin People's Publishing House', such as "Chinese Modern and Modern Masters Painting Collection", "Chinese Modern and Modern Masters Calligraphy Collection", "Chinese Contemporary Famous Painters Painting Collection" and "Chinese Modern and Modern Famous Artists Oil Painting Collection".
The people who have been selected for the big red robe are all masters of modern Chinese calligraphy and painting, including Ren Bonian, Wu Changshuo, Qi Baishi, Huang Binhong, Xu Beihong, Zhang Daqian, Pu Xinshe, Lin Fengmian, Pan Tianshou, Li Kuchan, Zhu Qizhan, Fu Baoshi, Li Keran, Guan Shanyue, Jiang Zhaohe, Wu Guanzhong, Huang Zhou, Wu Zuoren, Huang Qiuyuan, Shi Lu 20 artist albums. Since then, the "Big Red Robe" series of publications has been launched. Later, Guo Weihui, Bai Xueshi, Liang Shunian, Qian Songzhe, Yang Shanshen, Huang Junbi, Ya Ming, He Haixia, Ma Jin, Yu Xining, Song Wenzhi, Huang Yongyu, Ren Shuying, Dong Shouping, Wang Shensheng, etc. It has a great influence on the Chinese painting world!
Seeing this Chen Shaomei's "Waterfall View", everyone was interested in bidding, and Liu Dong was naturally no exception, and finally Liu Dong took down this piece of Chen Shaomei's Chinese painting with 1.58 million.
Next, there are two sketches by Xu Beihong, as well as several sketches by Liang Shunian, as well as Bai Xueshi and Li Keran, all of which have been sold at prices ranging from 50 to 1 million.
"It's almost time to auction the finale of the calligraphy and paintings!" Liu Dong looked at the time on his watch and thought to himself.
"Not to mention, after Sister Wang bought this watch, it is much more convenient to see the time than before!" Liu Dong thought with a little boredom in his heart.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the next is the finale of today's calligraphy and painting, the Ming Dynasty calligraphy and painting master Dong Qichang's book "Before and After the Red Cliff Fu Book"!" As the auctioneer's words fell, the originally calm atmosphere in the hall suddenly became hot.
"Dong Qichang's book, and is it really fake 'Chibi Fu before and after'?"
"Dong Qichang's calligraphy works, although there are a lot of hand-me-downs, but there are not many fine products, if this book "Before and After Chibi Fu" is genuine, then it must be taken!"
At this time, Liu Dong was also shocked by the auctioneer's words.
Dong Qichang's calligraphy achievements are even higher than his achievements in painting, and he was one of the most influential calligraphers in the Ming Dynasty. In particular, his achievements in calligraphy and cursive writing are even more remarkable.
It is said that Kangxi also personally wrote Dong Shu, which made Dong Shu all the rage, and there was a boom of learning Dong Shu in all dynasties. Almost all the scholars who chased fame for a while took Dong Shu as a shortcut. On the occasion of Kangxi and Yongzheng, the influence of his calligraphy was incomparable to that of other calligraphers.
Dong Qichang is one of the most influential calligraphers in the history of Chinese calligraphy, and his calligraphy style and calligraphy theory have had a certain influence on later generations. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the book critic He Sanwei called Dong Qichang's calligraphy: "Innocent and beautiful, the structure is clear, there are often books that are not exhausted, the pen is not satisfactory, dragons, snakes, clouds, flying between the wrists and fingers, this calligrapher is the best." Hundreds of years after Zhao Mengfu's charming and mature "Song Xue Ti" dominated the book world, Dong Qichang with his beautiful and elegant style, found a unique way, stood on his own, and also led the moment, so that "a piece of single, people compete for treasures", "famous foreign countries", adding glory to the cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries.
Of course, it is precisely because of these achievements in calligraphy and painting that the high price of Dong Qichang's calligraphy and painting works is high, according to the current market price, the price of Dong Qichang's calligraphy and painting will definitely not be less than 10 million.
But even so, Liu Dong also made up his mind to take down this relic Yuanguang has already identified, and it is indeed one of the authentic works of Dong Qichang's Xingshu.
Anyway, he still has more than 35 million in his card, and he can also put it in the card, and if it is replaced with art, it can also increase in value. And I like it myself.
Thinking of this, Liu Dong no longer hesitated, and followed Ma Lao to pretend to appreciate the "Red Cliff Fu Book Before and after", and then came back and sat down.
"Ma Lao, I also like this authentic work of Dong Qichang very much, so I won't let you be an old man again!" The first few times when he was sketching Xu Beihong's two pictures, Liu Dong originally planned to win both of them, but seeing that Ma Lao also bid again, Liu Dong gave up one of them.
"Hehe, I know, you kid is a rich guy, just bid when the time comes! We are each based on our own ability! However, let's talk about it first, if your kid can take down this authentic piece of Dong Qichang's calligraphy, then if the old man finds you and observes, you kid can't refuse. Old Man Ma said with a smile.
"You can rest assured of this, as long as you always find me, you will never refuse!"
"With your words, I'm relieved!" (To be continued......)
