As soon as Mondrian said that he also had ancient Chinese paintings in his hands, Li Yi immediately knew that he also fell in love with Picasso's work. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIt's just that the estimated value of that work is more than 20 million dollars, is the ancient painting in his hand worth this price?

"Mr. Li Yi, maybe you should come and see this painting in person, this is the work of Xu Wei, a famous genius of your Chinese Ming Dynasty."

Xu wei? Li Yi was taken aback, this is a real talent, in his introduction, there are four various "homes" on his head alone, and the prefix of each can carry two famous words!

Famous writers, calligraphers, painters, operas, and military strategists!

Especially in terms of calligraphy and painting, he is also the founder of the Chinese "Splashed Ink Freehand Painting School", the originator of the "Qingteng Painting School", a milestone figure in the development history of Chinese freehand flower and bird painting, and a real generation of grandmasters!

Xu Wei created a precedent for the Chinese school of freehand painting, which provided a broad space for the development of literati painting. His style of painting has had a profound impact on the Bada Shanren, Shi Tao, Yangzhou Eight Monsters in the Qing Dynasty and Wu Changshuo and Qi Baishi in modern times. ”！

How much should his paintings be worth such a figure?

Li Yi silently pondered, although among the painters of his level, Xu Wei's hand-me-down works are relatively large, but this number is only relatively speaking, if you only talk about paintings, there should be only five or six paintings.

It's just that, whether it's five or six, or seventy or eighty, these works, without exception, are collected in museums at all levels, and none of them are in the hands of private collectors in China!

If there is no circulation, there is no circulation, and without circulation, there is no reference price. However, according to the current market of calligraphy and painting, such a grandmaster-level figure, even if it was a casual graffiti back then, should be able to easily sell it for tens of millions of yuan now.

"Mr. Mondrian, what is the approximate size of the painting in your collection? That's right, the length and width of the heart. ”

Li Yi used the wrong word at first, and then explained, Mondrian understood the concept of size, and then, without hesitation, he reported a fairly accurate number,

"120.6 times 58.4 cm, Mr. Li Yi, even if I don't particularly know how to appreciate Chinese ink paintings, I can tell you very responsibly that this is definitely a high-level hand-me-down!"

Li Yi was silent on the phone for a moment, and then asked:

"When can I see things?"

"An hour later!"

"Okay, I'll wait for you!"

Hanging up the phone, Li Yi thought for a while, and called Rogov again, if the painting in Mondrian's hand was genuine, he would definitely exchange Picasso's work with him, but in this way, his plan had to be changed.

Although he still has a Picasso work in his hand, the value of that work cannot be compared with this one, what should he do? Will you release a few more works?

After thinking for a while, he shook his head, although no one has claimed these paintings for more than 70 years, it does not mean that there is no news circulating. It's okay to put a few pictures that are not too important once in a while to test the water, but to increase the number of them a lot, or to come up with a higher level of painting, is a bigger adventure in the current situation.

However, the few cultural relics he selected also took a lot of thought, and this transaction also undertook a task of publicity, so it could not be given up so easily, so what should I do?

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he still had a sketch of Picasso in his hand! This sketch was made when he acquired the Alberio brand from Frank. The one found in the rubbish-like basement of Moses' house was not taken out of the exchange because of its low value.

It's just that this time it's different, the value of the works themselves is relatively low, and if this sketch is added, it can also disturb the sight of some people who may know the news of this batch of paintings. As for the overall value has become lower, whether he can exchange the antiques he selected, I will leave it to Rogov to give him a headache, anyway, there are two works of Picasso to open the way, and it should not be his turn to beg them.

Sending two photos of Picasso's works to Rogov, as for whether he has spread the photos of the previous works, this is not something Li Yi needs to care about at all, this little problem can't be solved, what else do you need him to help?

Hanging up the phone, Li Yi took the "Our Lady of the Goldfinch" that he had just exchanged, and after admiring it carefully for a while, he picked up the phone and called Arnott, now that the things have arrived, he needs to execute his plan as soon as possible.

"Aha, have you finally got what you're going to donate? What is it? ”

Listening to the voice, Arnault should be in a very good mood, in fact, he is in a very good mood now, because he is driving a yacht on the Mediterranean Sea at this moment, and accompanying him is a young actor who he has been chasing for a long time to catch up.

However, Li Yi's next words made his good mood disappear, because this guy actually wanted to donate a Raphael painting to the Holy See! God, that's Raphael's work! Didn't he know how precious that painting was?

"I know, but if you don't do this, it doesn't seem to be enough to attract the attention of the Holy See's top brass, so the next thing will be even more difficult......"

"If there's anything difficult to do, you leave it to me, I'll do it for you even if I smash the pot and sell iron, but that painting, you can't donate, you really can't donate!"

"Why?"

Li Yi is a little strange, it is said that although the 50 million US dollar level of free donations is indeed a bit scary, but for the European Holy See, this should not be nothing, right? The reason why he dared to propose direct contact with the upper echelons of the Holy See was mainly because he wanted to rely on the influence of Raphael's religious paintings, but what did Arnault mean by that? Could it be that there is a secret in it that he doesn't know?

"There's no secret, it's just that Raphael's oil paintings on canvas are scarce, and once you donate them, they can no longer be circulated in the market, how can you do that? Wait, I'll go to you right away, you give me the painting, and you leave your communication with the Holy See to me! ”

Li Yi hung up the phone with a smile, it turned out that this guy had fallen in love with this oil painting, but could he give him this painting? You know, compared to the later deal, this painting is simply not worth mentioning! (To be continued.) )
