Thinking of the incident that allowed him to get 32 oil paintings at one time, Li Yi remembered the remaining accounts. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

At that time, the analysis may not have anything other than some money, and in fact, I am afraid that no one can say what it is. It's just that you can't go back in the short term, which should be true. And this short-term is likely to be measured in years.

Since the secrets of those accounts will take a few years to slowly explore, Li Yi has decided not to think about it anymore, so what will be recorded in this letterhead? Without a number, it's unlikely that it's an account number!

The tourist's offer was £180,000, which has now dropped to £160,000, while the price offered by the boss is still $90,000.

"This ...... Can I interject? Can you show me this picture? ”

Li Yi decided to intervene directly.

The boss turned his head and glanced at him, looking very indifferent, shrugging his shoulders, spreading his hands, whatever. Several Japanese tourists were very enthusiastic, especially the middle-aged aunt, who looked at Li Yi with interest while grinning a bloody mouth, and stammered in her broken English to start selling.

"This painting is an early work by Turner, one of Britain's greatest painters, do you know who Turner is? He is a representative of the British academic painters of the first half of the 19th century, and is one of the most outstanding landscape painters in the history of Western art......"

The British painter Li Yi didn't know much, but because of "The Ancient Beech Tree", he still knew a little about some well-known watercolor painters.

William. Turner is indeed a very outstanding watercolor painter in British history, who produced hundreds of oil paintings and thousands of watercolors and sketches in his lifetime. Sandby. Even from an artistic point of view, he may be even better than Paul. Sandby.

Founded in the 80s of the last century, the British Contemporary Visual Arts Award Turner Prize is named after him.

Such a famous painter, if his work has not been recognized by the gallery owner under these circumstances, then he should not open the gallery, and he really can't afford to lose this person.

Therefore, Li Yi casually agreed to deal with it, and at the same time opened the spirit identification card.

A cool air flowed through, but unexpectedly, the result given by the spirit card was greatly beyond his expectations.

Not only is this painting authentic, but the letter hidden behind the painting also has a great history.

That letter turned out to be the greatest military strategist and statesman in French history, the founder of the First French Empire, Napoleon. Bonaparte's own handwriting!

Rub it, this boss is so cunning, Turner's real work is only 90,000 pounds, and he is pretending to be a troublemaker, and he almost deceived him!

"Hehe, ma'am, I'm very interested in this painting, why don't we go over there and talk?"

Li Yi whispered to the aunt while paying attention to the boss's expression. Seeing that he was still indifferent, I realized that I had misjudged just now, and this guy didn't recognize that this could be Turner's real handiwork!

Nima, if you don't recognize it, you're willing to pay 90,000 pounds, are your brains in water?

When the Japanese aunt saw that Li Yi was really interested in painting, she couldn't help but get excited, she first made a look at several other people, and then threw a big wink at Li Yi, almost fainting this guy with disgust.

However, for the sake of Turner and Napoleon, Li Yi still decided to endure it, there was no way, who made him think about taking advantage of others?

But don't get me wrong, this is not the other......

Things went surprisingly well, but there's really no reason why it shouldn't go well. One wanted to sell, the other wanted to buy, and Li Yi's bid was far more generous than the boss, so the two sides just exchanged a few words and closed the deal at a price of 150,000 pounds.

It stands to reason that if you cut off other people's things, you shouldn't go shopping in other people's stores anymore, people don't welcome them! But as soon as he thought of this person who didn't recognize Turner's work in this situation, Li Yi's heart couldn't help but feel hot, there are still several exhibition rooms that I haven't seen, and are there any leaks? Is there anything else?

With a wave of his hand, the fat elephant sent the oil painting back to the hotel to hide it, and Li Yi took Gu Feng into the gallery again.

It turned out that he was overly worried, not to mention that the gallery itself was relatively large, and it was divided into several exhibition rooms, so it was not so easy to meet the boss. Moreover, in a situation like the one just now, if the boss really wanted to accept the painting, how could he negotiate with the client in public?

So when Li Yi looked at the two exhibition rooms, walked to the last exhibition room and met the boss again, and saw that the boss was actually nodding and greeting him very kindly, he suddenly understood this truth.

Or does the boss think he's helping him out? Or is he a clown in the eyes of others, but he has no eyesight but is bent on cutting off his beard and making a fortune?

But whatever he thinks, he just makes a fortune in a muffled voice. I just don't know the price of Turner's paintings, and who Napoleon's letter was addressed to, and how much it is worth, so it's better to ask someone later.

Li Yi nodded in response to the boss's kindness, and then turned to look at the works on display in this last studio.

Generally speaking, the level of works sold by this gallery is still relatively high, and in the first few exhibition rooms, Li Yi not only saw Bridget. Riley's work was also seen by Frank. Auerbach, Tracy. The works of Emin and others, according to the gallery, are among the top British contemporary painters, and their works are counted at auction in the millions of dollars.

Although Li Yi has no interest in contemporary works, especially the ones that can't be missed, he still silently wrote down these names. If he accidentally meets a boss who doesn't have long eyes, and this kind of work only sells tens of thousands of hundreds of thousands, he will still start.

Looking at the past one by one, touching the past one by one, soon, Li Yi finished reading more than half of the works in this studio, unfortunately, there are a lot of valuables, but there is no one that can be missed.

"Huh? Why is this sculpture so familiar? I think I've seen it somewhere. ”

Just as he was about to retreat, an unfamiliar voice suddenly came from behind him, but because it was speaking Chinese, he still turned his head to take a look.

It was a young Chinese boy who spoke, and the sculpture he was talking about was placed on an artistic pillar not far in front of Li Yi. There are a lot of such things in this gallery, but there is no price tag, it should only be used to decorate and enrich the relatively monotonous environment of the gallery.

"Hehe, isn't this a miniature version of the big sculpture we saw in Newcastle last time? I think it should be called "Angel of the North", the famous British contemporary artist Anthony. Gormley's masterpiece, valued at $1.34 million. Of course, I'm talking about the real guy. ”

It was his companion who answered the young man, and it seems that he should also be engaged in this business, not only do he know the name of the person and the name of the work, but he also remembers the specific price of the work.

"Oh, I remember, the big guy who sits on a meadow with a wingspan of over 50 meters!"

Well, it is said that when this work was built, it attracted the attention of the United Kingdom and the world, and greatly increased the influence of Newcastle City. What do you think? If you are interested, ask the boss and buy a model to collect it? ”

"Hehe, I'm not interested, foreigners' artworks, I can't appreciate ......"

The two turned around and walked out of the exhibition room while discussing, but Li Yi walked up to the sculpture and took a closer look.

It is a humanoid sculpture only 20 centimeters tall, brown and red, covered with black strips, with outstretched arms made to resemble the wings of an airplane, with a wingspan of more than half a meter.

The pillar bears the name of this artwork and is indeed Anthony. A model for Gormley's Angel of the North. As for the original of this sculpture, it is a behemoth weighing 200 tons, 20 meters tall, with 54 meters of wings spread out, and a width larger than that of a Boeing 747.

Li Yi imagined this huge size, shook his head, touched the model casually, and then blinked, what does this mean? This one is actually Anthony. Gormley did it?

He glanced at the conclusion given by the spirit card suspiciously, and then carefully glanced at the unsightly sculpture in front of him, and suddenly realized in his heart that this time he was probably going to pick up something good again.

Sculpture is different from carving, in terms of modeling techniques, carving generally digs out a number of uneven parts from different positions of the object, and finally achieves the purpose of modeling. In other words, you can dig down a lot with a tool, and you can rarely make up for it. Sculpture, on the other hand, is basically formed by building a skeleton first and filling it up continuously.

To put it simply, it means that the material of the sculpture is basically irreversible, while the sculpture can be modified and used repeatedly.

But whether it's carving or sculpture, there is a lot of preparation that goes into it before making it. Especially for those sculptures that are extremely large, before they are actually put into production, the sculptor will make many versions of the model, and then choose the most successful and desirable one and enlarge it in the same scale.

Since the model in front of Li Yi is Anthony. Gormley did it himself, so that should be the case. Moreover, this model is almost identical in appearance and specific proportions to the actual sculpture given on the data, which means that it is most likely Anthony. Gormley's final design model!
