In many auctions, the final auction is almost always the finale, like a gala, and the last show is definitely the most exciting. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The same is true for this Bohai auction, which has already been exhibited at the time of this preview, which is a long scroll painting from the Ming Dynasty, and the author is Tang Yin, a more famous painter in the Ming Dynasty.

Tang Yin Needless to say, many people know that there are countless stories about him in film and television works, especially Xing Ye's "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance", which is almost popular. Everyone thought that he was romantic, ordered Qiuxiang, and sat on Jiumei, but who knew his tragic reality.

Tang Bohu, a painter of the Ming Dynasty, the word Bohu, the word Ziwei, the number six such as laymen, the master of the peach blossom hermitage, the escape of Zen immortals, etc., is a native of Wu County, Jiangsu. In the eleventh year of Hongzhi, he was the first Xie Yuan in Tianfu, and was engraved with the seal of "the first genius in the south of the Yangtze River". Later, he tried to be implicated in the fraud case in the field, and since then, he has made a living by selling paintings, and he is suave, and there are many legends among the people, all of which are attached to the jokes. Together with Shen Zhou, Wen Huiming, and Qiu Ying, they are known as the "Four Families of the Ming Dynasty", and they are good at painting, such as Li Tang and Liu Songnian, the characters are close to Du Jian, and the flowers and birds are influenced by Shen Zhou. Calligraphy Zhao Mengzhuan can write poetry.

In other words, Tang Bohu in reality is actually a hard worker, talented but not reused, so that he is prodigal to kill time.

The works auctioned this time are Tang Yin's late works, called "Huansha Picture", you know, Tang Yin's best painting is beauty, and he is also famous for painting beautiful women, the most famous is "Autumn Phoenix Fan Picture".

The autumn wind fan is a representative work of Tang Yin's ink figure painting, painting a courtyard with lake stones, a lady holding a fan, staring sideways, with a slightly resentful look between her eyebrows. Her dress fluttered in the bleak autumn wind, and her side was lined with double-hooked bamboos. This picture is painted in white, the brush and ink flow and crisp, the turning square, the lines are undulating and frustrating, combining Li Gonglin's flowing water and Yan Hui's folding reed drawing, and the pen is full of rhythm. Although the whole painting is pure ink, it can show rich tones in thickness, shade and shade. The inscription poem on the upper left part of the painting: "Autumn comes to the fan collection, what is the beauty of the heavy sentimentality, please look at the world in detail, most of whom do not chase the heat and cold." "Borrowing from the concubine Ban Jieyu of Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty, the color is declining and relaxing, just like the fate of the fan being abandoned after the autumn wind rises, attacking the heat and coldness of the world. Obviously, this is related to the misfortune of Tang Yin's personal life. The woman in the painting has a resentful face, which may be a portrayal of Tang Yin himself.

This time, "Huansha Picture" is almost a work of Tang Yin's heyday, and its skills and techniques are on par with "Autumn Phoenix Fan Picture".

The so-called Huansha, of course, is Xi Shi Huansha, Tang Yin is the best at painting beauties, not to mention the four beauties in Chinese history. In this picture, Tang Yin uses the mellow brushwork of the Ming Dynasty to outline a peerless beauty, with the turquoise river, the gurgling stream, and the green mountains and green grass in the distance, all clearly visible. Many paintings of the Ming Dynasty pay attention to artistic conception, which is also the most common method of traditional Chinese painting, and Tang Yin's painting takes the artistic conception to the extreme.

Because of this, the reserve price of this "Huansha Picture" made by Tang Yin in the Ming Dynasty reached 3 million, and the auction estimate was about 50 million --- 60 million, which can be said to be the finale of this auction.

In fact, anyone who is familiar with the art auction market in recent years knows that masterpieces and rare paintings and calligraphy can often fetch astonishing prices.

For example:

On October 17, 2009, at the 15th anniversary celebration auction of Shengjia in China Trade, the handscroll of the Qing Dynasty court documentary painting of the Qianlong Dynasty and the painter Xu Yang's "Offering Prisoners to the Western Regions of Pingding" started at 78 million yuan, and finally fell under the hammer for 120 million yuan, and the final transaction price was 134 million yuan with commission, creating a world record for the auction of ancient Chinese paintings and calligraphy.

On November 22, 2009, Wu Bin's "Eighteen True Picture Scrolls" of the Ming Dynasty was auctioned for 169 million yuan, setting the highest price for Chinese calligraphy and painting at that time. Ming Dynasty painter Wu Bin's "Eighteen Ying Zhen Picture Scroll" was recorded in the "Secret Palace Zhulin Continuation", the first is the Qianlong title "Youyi Shentong" four regular books, the volume of Qianlong Zhuxi parallel book inscription, Wu Bin's works are scarce, into the Qing Dynasty and recorded in the "Shiqu Baoji", "Secret Palace Zhulin Continuation" a total of 18 pieces, Qianlong pro-title is the only one, it can be described as "the treasure of the treasure".

In addition, at 11:12 p.m. on June 3, 2010, after nearly 70 rounds of bidding, the world record for the auction price of Chinese artworks was set for the first time in China - the Northern Song Dynasty Huang Tingjian's calligraphy "Pillar Inscription" volume fell under the hammer for 390 million yuan, plus a 12% commission, and the total transaction price reached 436.8 million yuan. This price far exceeded the record of about 230 million yuan set by the 230 million yuan Chinese art auction set by Christie's in London in 2005, setting a new record for the most expensive art in China.

As can be seen from the above auction records, there are more and more wealthy people in China, and the real estate economy has begun to weaken after nearly three decades of glory in the eighties, nineties, and 2000, so that the public investors have focused their attention on art collections. This type of investment, which can maintain and appreciate its value, has been sought after by more people.

Therefore, like Tang Yin's work "Huansha Picture" is estimated at 50 million to 60 million, for those record-breaking artworks, it can only be regarded as a "small loss".

Of course, Wan Jianhao is not the only one who has taken a fancy to this Tang Yin treasure, there are also two other auctioneers, one of whom is a coal boss from Shanxi, who is said to have pulled a truckload of banknotes to bid for this painting by Tang Bohu. For these rich rough people, other painters don't know each other, but they only know this Tang Bohu, of course, they want to take pictures of Lao Tang's calligraphy and painting works and put them in the circle of friends to be majestic.

The other is an overseas Chinese, I heard that he came back from Singapore, and he also likes to spend a lot of money on shooting, especially the works of some famous painters, of course, Tang Yin's.

In this way, the last finale work was actually contested by three companies--- Wan Jianhao Wan Boss, Shanxi Coal Boss, and Singapore Old Overseas Chinese.

One of these three is the richest man in the super, one is not bad for money, and the other is careful in budgeting.

It can be said that they are the protagonists of the next final auction, and everyone else has become a typical melon-eating audience...... Is it true, though? At least someone is ready to move, and he is --- Lin Yi! (To be continued.) )
