Chapter 294: Series of Paintings
After the video was played, there was a dead silence on the scene. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
After a long time, everyone began to shake their heads and sigh.
"This painting is so profound. Zheng, do you want to interpret the destruction of human nature by desire?" Ai Meier looked at Zheng Zhefan and asked.
"Yes, there is a purpose for this, desire makes people fall into their own will, makes people lose their nature, makes people kill themselves, and that is the main purpose of this painting. Zheng Zhefan said with a smile.
"The reason why the evil hell becomes a fatal attraction is all because it wears a beautiful and seductive mask, and those bewitching women are the deadly original sin of men. Chinese say, red face and white bones, and say that color is a steel knife scraping bones, it seems that we really can't let go of our desires, once desires are flooded, maybe we ourselves will be completely finished. Joyce Rockefeller said.
"Yes, the theme of this painting is quite profound, it can be said that it is a rare masterpiece in the history of painting, such a classic painting is destined to go down in history! Gao Guxuan began to bewitch these top rich people again.
"But if this painting is only the current one, I don't think it's complete, and it doesn't capture the grand idea of the video animation that Mr. Cheng just played!" said Joyce Rockefeller.
Zheng Zhefan nodded, smiled and said, "Mr. Rockefeller's words are very insightful! I agree with it, but you don't need to worry about this problem now, because I have already formed this painting into a series." ”
"You mean, there are a few other paintings?" Joyce Rockefeller's eyes widened.
"Yes, that's right. They're on me. ”
Zheng Zhefan said, put down the long bag he was carrying, and opened it.
He took out the other three paintings from his bag.
Gao Guxuan hurriedly asked the staff to hang the three paintings as well. Gao Guxuan was so excited, he didn't know that this "Gates of Hell" turned out to be a series of works.
If you have a series, of course, you can sell it for a higher price.
The three paintings are hung next to the Gates of Hell, and sure enough, they form a complete series.
This series vividly expresses the content of the video animation just now.
"Good! great!" Joyce stood in front of the four paintings, admiring them one by one, nodding his head frequently as he looked at them.
At this moment, a bearded man wearing a white robe and a white turban opened his mouth, and he said to Gao Guxuan: "Mr. Gao Guxuan, I want this series of paintings, 250 million US dollars, how about it?"
Zheng Zhefan glanced at the other party, and he was quite surprised.
Unexpectedly, this benevolent brother from the oil tyrant country would suddenly make a move, and the bid was quite high, directly giving a price of 250 million US dollars.
The real power of the oil tyrant country is not ordinary rich.
In recent years, princes and royal families of these countries have become an important force in the international art market, and it is known that many important works of well-known artists have been collected by people from these oil tycoons.
It seems that he is going to make a fortune today.
"Ahh I'm also impressed by the price you offered, but I think it's better to see if anyone else is willing to offer a better price. Gao Guxuan said with a smile.
Joyce Rockefeller was a little unpleasant.
He had just shown great interest in the series, but he didn't expect that Prince Amkhan would actually stab him sideways.
"I really like the series 'Hell's Gate' so much that I'm willing to give $260 million. Joyce Rockefeller raised an eyebrow and said.
Gao Guxuan smiled in his belly.
He said to himself, "Okay!" The two local tyrants started a bullfight.
This is a good phenomenon.
He really hopes that these two super rich people will not give in to each other, and then, the price of this "Hell's Gate" series will continue to rise, which will be amazing.
"Excuse me, Mr. Rockefeller, but I love Hell's Gate so much that I can't give it to you, so let's play fair, and the highest bidder wins. Prince Amkhan glanced at Joyce Rockefeller calmly and said with a smile.
"I'm willing to contribute $270 million. ”
Prince Amkhan quoted another price.
"Three hundred million! Prince Amkhan, I am determined to get this painting. Joyce Rockefeller was aggressive.
The wealth of the Rockefeller family is no less than that of the new oil tycoons!
Rockefeller also started with oil, and at their peak, they monopolized more than 80% of the oil production and sales in the United States.
Prince Amkhan blinked, and he swallowed his saliva with difficulty.
He would love to shout a higher price again.
However, his financial resources did not allow him to compete with Joyce Rockefeller!
"Well, it's a shame that I gave up, I didn't expect that I would pass by this set of paintings. Congratulations to Mr. Rockefeller, you are enviable!" said Prince Amkhan.
The "Gates of Hell" series of paintings sold for $300 million, which also set a new record for the sale price of art.
Gao Guxuan was overjoyed.
Previously, Gagosian Gallery sold $1 billion a year in art sales, and now, a small art exhibition has generated $500 million in sales.
This means that Gagosian Gallery is likely to have a new breakthrough this year.
"Congratulations, Mr. Joyce! This set of "Gates of Hell" is a unique painting of all kinds, and its collection value is quite huge, please go through the relevant formalities later. Gao Guxuan said with a smile.
That's it, Zheng Zhefan introduced all the way, and these local tyrants rushed to buy with checkbooks all the way.
In addition to the two works "Net" and "The Gates of Hell", his other works were also sold, even one of his portraits sold for a whopping $83 million.
After the painting was finished, it was also sold out.
Together, the paintings sold for more than $1.7 billion.
If converted into Huaxia currency, it is more than 11 billion yuan.
Unknowingly, an art exhibition turned Zheng Zhefan into a billionaire.
However, after deducting 30% of the commission of Gagosian Gallery and paying taxes, Zheng Zhefan can not get 1 billion US dollars.
But that's a huge amount.
"Ladies and gentlemen, our exhibition was supposed to be on display for three days as originally planned, but now, we have sold out all the exhibits in just over an hour after it opened. As you all know, there are thousands of people waiting outside for today's exhibition, and many people are waiting outside to come in and see the exhibition, and here, I would like to implore you to leave the paintings you have bought for a few hours, and wait until the exhibition is over tonight, and then you can take them with you, is that okay?"
