Whether it's the naked women with a slightly shy face, or the innocent, chasing and frolicking children, they all seem so realistic, as if they are about to jump out of the paper. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's just that although Xi Qing can identify the authenticity of these sketches, he has no understanding of the foreign art price market, and of course he is also blind to the market value of these genuine Picasso works.

"Xi Qing, I can't help you with this, but I heard last year that a seven-piece sketchbook by Picasso sold for eight million dollars, and you have thirty-two here, so it must be more expensive, right?"

Although the jewelry and Picasso's paintings are both works of art, Tao Xiaoman really doesn't know much about these, she has only seen some news about Picasso on the information of some auction houses.

"So?"

Xi Qing carefully put the paintings together, lowered his head and pondered, and after a while Xi Qing raised his head and said, "Let's go, let's go take a bath first, I'll go back to Lisa for an afternoon, and let's have dinner together in the evening......"

Tao Xiaoman nodded obediently, she knew that Xi Qing must have paid attention to something in her heart, because in the morning, the two of them were supposed to have a candlelight dinner. It is inevitable that in a romantic city like Paris, it is normal for Xi Qing to want to do something!

"What do you say, Picasso's paintings?!"

Xi Qing obviously underestimated Picasso's influence abroad, and after he almost whispered to Wu Lisa and said that he had more than 30 sketches of Picasso, Wu Lisha almost shouted this sentence, which attracted everyone in the Western restaurant to look at him.

"I said, can you keep the point? Sister. ”

Xi Qing glared at Wu Lisha angrily, after contact in the past few days, it is obvious that the two are more familiar.

Wu Lisa's sentence, fortunately, is in Chinese, otherwise if the people here know that they have Picasso's paintings, maybe those international thieves will find their heads.

This kind of thing has not happened before, some foreign billionaires, in order to get their favorite artworks, often hire some international thieves to steal those precious artworks hidden in museums or private homes.

Of course, even if they get these works of art, they can only enjoy them in a small circle of their own, and they are kept extremely secret, otherwise, I am afraid that Interpol will immediately target them.

"Xi Qing, I don't have a good heart, you said Picasso's painting, do you know what it means, I haven't encountered it in Paris for so long, why is your luck so good, why all the good things have come to you?"

Wu Lisa indignantly cut off a piece of steak with a knife and fork, put it in her mouth and chewed it vigorously, as if this was the way to vent the depression in her heart.

"By the way, can you be sure that all of those sketches are real?"

After swallowing the steak with Xi Qing as her imaginary enemy, Wu Lisha suddenly thought of this question, he had the same idea as Tao Xiaoman, did Xi Qing see it wrong.

Xi Qing took a sip of red wine slowly, nodded and said, "Why don't you believe me?" Let's put it this way, ninety percent should be true, Sister Lisa, if you can't believe it, you can find someone to identify it......"

Wu Lisha didn't understand what Xi Qing meant, and opened her mouth to say, "What does it matter to me about the treasure you found?" What can I trust that I can't trust? ”

"Hey, I said Sister Lisa, aren't you familiar with people abroad? I'm like, you're going to bring the auction organizers tomorrow, and then you're going to bring the people from the Musée Guimet, and I'd like to talk to them about business......"

Xi Qing glanced around and said his thoughts, in fact, since he got this batch of sketches, Xi Qing has been thinking about how to deal with these sketches.

Do you want to keep it for yourself? Xi Qing really doesn't appreciate this foreign sketching style, then again, if he faces those naked women sketching all day long, the backyard of his home will definitely not be stable.

If he doesn't want to keep it, he can only sell it, but Xi Qing is not short of money, he doesn't want to simply sell these sketches, for some people, money can't measure the value of these sketches.

Although I don't know the market price of these paintings, Xi Qing knows that Picasso and his status in the minds of foreign collectors are definitely in the spotlight, and if he releases a rumor to auction Picasso's sketches, I am afraid that collectors all over the world will be shaken.

Compared with Picasso's works, Chinese art, which has appreciated quite rapidly in recent years, seems to be nothing, and there is no comparison between the two in the minds of foreigners. As for foreigners, they naturally value the West more, the treasure of their own country.

At this time, Xi Qing made a decision in his heart, can he use these sketches of Picasso in exchange for the Chinese collection that will be auctioned this time, or the one that exists in the Guimet Museum?

Those precious cultural relics were robbed by the robber ancestors of foreigners, but these works of Picasso, Xi Qing is also equivalent to picking them up for nothing, and no one suffers from the tip of the needle.

China's precious cultural relics appear in foreign museums, which have their historical backgrounds, and most of them are donated by the descendants of the Eight-Nation Alliance, which is really a lot.

The Guimet Museum in Paris, France alone has more than 20,000 pieces of Chinese art, including jade from the Neolithic Age, bronzes from the Shang and Zhou dynasties and their horse ornaments, bronze mirrors, ancient coins and lacquerware.

In the field of sculpture, in addition to some large works of Buddhist art, the Guimet Museum also has a collection of the Han and Tang dynasties, and in the field of decoration, it presents a complete historical picture, through more than 10,000 pieces of ceramics, porcelain, celadon and hard porcelain, reflecting the technological innovation of porcelain history. It has to be said that it is worth changing.

In addition, the Jimei Museum also has a collection of more than 1,000 paintings from the Tang Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, and it can be said that except for some porcelain, almost every piece of work there can be rated as a first-class cultural relic after being obtained in China.

As the saying goes, rare things are expensive, and after there are more artworks from China, foreigners don't pay much attention to them. For his own country, it is a treasure.

For example, some of the Chinese Qing Dynasty court paintings and ceramics donated to the Guimet Museum by the French general Frey are stored in the museum's warehouse and have never been exhibited.

China has a long history of 5,000 years of civilization, due to well-known reasons, about 60 percent of the precious cultural relics, are lost overseas, this is an extremely large number, the total number to be calculated in millions, this is also the history of absolute, China's valuable antiques are as many as a cow's hair.

But foreign artworks are different, in foreign countries, it may take decades or even hundreds of years before a genius artist appears, such as Mozart, Beethoven, Van Gogh, Picasso, and so on.

Although the first two are music masters, they are also inseparable from the category of art, such as Beethoven, whose handwritten staves have been auctioned for sky-high prices, and similarly, the violin used by Mozart is also the target of many collectors.

However, you must know that Mozart used only three or five violins, and Beethoven wrote even fewer original lyrics and songs, even if Picasso was a prolific painter who created more than 60,000 works in his lifetime, but in terms of the number of people in the world, it is really not a huge number.

As the only person in the history of art who saw his works in the collection of the Louvre while he was alive, Picasso's fame can be imagined, and during his lifetime, tens of thousands of works were already in the pocket, and few were circulated in the market.

Therefore, in the international art auction market, it is easy to find some Chinese artworks, and you can often see them, but if you want to meet the works of Picasso van Gogh and other people, such works are indeed very rare and extremely difficult to encounter, basically rare, and the auctions where their works exist can often attract big collectors from all over the world.

This is not to say that Chinese antiques are inferior to foreign artworks, because the pure fragments are only a quantity, and there are relatively many Chinese antiques, and there is also the problem of the perception of foreign collectors, because the influence of Picasso and Van Gogh artists is global, and their fame can be heard almost everywhere there are people.

However, due to China's seclusion in the early years, and the style of calligraphy and painting is mostly abstract and freehand, which is not appreciated and accepted by foreigners, some great calligraphers and painters of all dynasties and dynasties are obviously less influential in the world than Leonardo da Vinci and Picasso.

However, turnip greens have their own loves, and in Xi Qing's eyes, they are naturally still the things left by their ancestors, so Xi Qing had such an idea in his heart, using these works of Picasso in exchange for Chinese cultural relics lost abroad.

Of course, this also shows his patriotism. Xi Qing is the most reluctant to see his ancestors' things in a strange country, and even more, these people don't know aesthetics at all.

"Sister Lisa, I want to exchange this Picasso painting for our Chinese treasure, what do you think of my idea? Is it feasible? ”

Xi Qing told Wu Lisha completely what he thought in his heart, because he himself had no connections in foreign collection circles, and I heard Tao Xiaoman say that Wu Lisha has often been involved in major auctions over the years, and she also knows many collectors and museum representatives who are more sophisticated.

Wu Lisha obviously hadn't fully digested what Xi Qing said, and sat there thinking for a long time before she spoke: "Xi Qing, are you really willing to buy those Picasso works?" You know, it's everyone's dream collection, and its value is not inferior to that of your domestic treasures......"

"Dream?"

Xi Qing pursed his lips disdainfully, and said: "In my opinion, this is not as good as the treasure left by our ancestors, if anyone can give me a bronze heavy weapon of our ancestors, I will exchange all thirty-two sketches for him, buddies are not good, they are all sketches of old ladies without clothes, the flesh is drooping down, and they are not as good-looking as Oriental women, what are you dreaming of......"

"Xi Qing, can't you be a tactful? That's all art......"

Tao Xiaoman, who was sitting next to him, couldn't listen to it anymore, and pinched Xi Qing angrily, after this woman gets old, her skin will always become saggy, Tao Xiaoman doesn't want to hear such comments appear on him in the future.

However, fortunately, Xi Qing's description is to say that he doesn't like Western women like that.

"Hehe, I mean Western women are not good-looking, we Oriental people are beautiful, even if you are old, I like it too...."

After coming abroad, Xi Qing was in a very relaxed mood, probably influenced by the romantic capital of Paris, and became much more bold in speaking, Tao Xiaoman, who listened, was red-faced: "You, you." ”

"Come on, you two don't flirt in front of me, if you want to change places......"

Wu Lisha rolled her eyes impatiently, isn't this bullying herself for being single? However, the fire in Wu Lisha's heart was really provoked by Xi Qing, and I am afraid that she will also find a macho man to solve it.

"Sister Lisa, can you see what I said about this? If not, I'll take all those manuscripts back to China, and who is in a hurry to beg these foreigners......"

Xi Qing saw that Wu Lisha was impatient, and quickly changed the topic, why should she consider the feelings of a single older young woman.

"It's not impossible to exchange collections with these private individuals and museums abroad, but there is a premise, that is, those sketches of yours, they must be real, and if they are not real, there is no way to ......."

Wu Lisha said as she spoke, and the whole person suddenly became excited, and then said: "If it is true, then this deal has been done, and many people will rush to ask for it, if we don't knock the foreigner into smoke, it won't be over......"

Xi Qing is actually bartering, and the exchanges with domestic Tibetan friends are similar, but they have risen to an international level, and Wu Lisa's understanding of the value of Picasso's works is much higher than that of Xi Qing.

Since Picasso's death, it has been three or five years since Picasso's death that Picasso's works have occasionally been auctioned, and if all of Xi Qing's paintings are genuine, they will definitely set off a huge wave in the international auction market.

"Oh? Sister Lisa Wu, how to master the degree in the middle? I do not quite understand. ”

Xi Qing also knew that the Picasso paintings he owned were absolutely strange goods, and they would definitely not be able to exchange Chinese cultural relics for the same value, but Xi Qing did not understand the international auction market, and he was afraid that the price would be ruthless and would scare those people away.

Wu Lisa said with a smile: "More than 30 sketches, if all of them are really Picasso, hehe, you want to change a bronze heavy weapon?" It's almost the same for them to see, at least 10 of them, no, it's more than a heavy weapon, and they have to beg us to change it......"

"Damn, that's too ruthless, isn't it? Will they change? (To be continued.) )
