Chapter 191: Appreciating the Spring Auction
On Monday, Li Yi first walked around the store, and after seeing that there was nothing to do, he was about to go to the warehouse, when Wang Dachuan stopped him,
"Don't go yet, come with me to the head office later, there is a good thing."
Meddlesome? Li Yi scratched his scalp in confusion, and seeing that he didn't mean to say any more, he took a glass of water and sat on the sofa and went to the head office...... Could it be to appreciate the lots of the spring auction?
"You kid, you're smart! Although JETCO Auction has nothing to do with us on the surface, this is actually to circumvent the rule that auction companies cannot auction their own items. The reason why the goods we receive are so strictly inspected is to prevent random inspections on their side, and similarly, they must accept our side of the inspection before each auction! Hehe, Xiao Li, do a good job this time, pick a few big faults with them, and fight for us to pawn here! โ
Li Yi didn't know where Wang Dachuan got such a big grievance, which was likely to involve some old grievances between the two sides. But Tong Ruibao is really powerful, you just have to think about it at any time there are a bunch of guys waiting to find out your mistakes, how dare you not be unreasonable when you work?
But this time there is really no need to be polite, it is originally a different branch, and if you offend, you will be offended. Moreover, if both sides are good and harmonious, I am afraid that the company will not be happy first.
Wang Dachuan dealt with official business, and explained a few more sentences to Huang Qiren and Wang Na, who stayed in the store, took Li Yi and drove straight to the Temple of the Moon.
The office of JETCO Auction is downstairs from Tongruibao, so Li Yi went directly to Tongruibao to gather first, and when he asked, he found out that this time he was actually assigned to the calligraphy and painting group, and it was Zhong Haoqing who led the team!
"Li Yi, this is Zhao Dafeng Zhao of the Haidian branch, an old-timer in calligraphy and painting appraisal. Teacher Liu Ming doesn't need to introduce you to him, right? This time, the three of you are responsible for checking the calligraphy and paintings, remember, be careful, if something goes wrong, you will have to deduct the bonus! โ
Li Yi nodded. stepped forward to say hello to Zhao Dafeng.
Zhao Dafeng, an old man in his fifties who was short in stature and had a handful of goatees, had long heard that the company had recruited a talented young appraiser a few years ago, and someone had already accepted him as a disciple. Now I see that he has been placed in the calligraphy and painting group. I can't help but wonder if this is probably true. This is the first time the two have met, so it is natural to take a good look.
"Xiao Li, there are a lot of calligraphy and painting works in this spring auction, there are a total of thirty-seven paintings, let me ask you. Are you good at ink painting or gongbi? Do you know more about the painters of the Ming Dynasty or do you know more about the Qing Dynasty and modern times? โ
Zhao Dafeng was the captain of the calligraphy and painting group this time, and after looking at Li Yi, he twisted the few strands of goatee and asked with a smile.
What else is that? Identification of calligraphy and painting should be divided into dynasties and techniques?
Zhao Dafeng looked at his expression, he was stunned at first, and then laughed,
"It is said that heroes have been teenagers since ancient times, and I think our teacher Xiao Li is not simple, this posture, do you want to eat it all? Okay, I'm going to be lazy later! โ
That being said, because this inspection is the last hurdle of the spring auction. So Zhao Dafeng still discussed with Liu Ming for a long time, and finally decided that Liu Ming was in charge of the modern and modern part of the famous artist, and he was in charge of the rest of the works.
After having lunch at the company, Li Yi followed Zhao and Liu downstairs and walked into the office area of JETCO.
Qin Hua, the chief appraiser of JETCO Auction, personally received him, and he first gave him a catalogue of paintings and calligraphy. Then he pulled Zhao Dafeng to blow for a long time, and naturally looked at Li Yi in the middle, after all, this kid's reputation had already spread in the company.
But seeing the real person this time, Qin Hua shook his head. It's not that good!
After staying in the office for a while, Qin Hua led them into a VIP reception room, dragged the large wooden box under the table on one side, and asked the three of them to check the seal first, and then opened it in front of them.
"Everything is here. There are 37 pieces in total, and after you have checked them, you will notify me to come and seal them. โ
Seeing that the wooden boxes were all packed with painted tubes, Liu Ming went up and carried them all to the table, and after counting the number correctly, Zhao Dafeng politely invited Qin Hua out.
"Open all the paintings first, check them according to the catalog, and then start the identification."
Zhao Dafeng looked at the time and ordered.
The three of them tossed for ten minutes, and after making sure that there was no problem with the calligraphy and painting, one of them picked up a work, found a place to sit down, and looked at it carefully.
Li Yi opened the scroll in his hand, and when he saw it, it was actually a handscroll of ink on paper by the generation of writer Su Shi!
Su Shi is an outstanding representative of the highest achievements of the Song Dynasty, and has made high achievements in poetry, poetry, prose, calligraphy, and painting. Its poems and Huang Tingjian are called "Su Huang", its words and Xin Qijian are called "Su Xin", and its prose is called "Ou Su" with Ouyang Xiu, one of the "Eight Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties", and its calligraphy is called "Song Four" with Huang Tingjian, Mi Fu and Cai Xiang!
Wouldn't it be nice to see this masterpiece?
After a cursory glance at this 110-centimeter-long scroll, and seeing the dense collection seals on it, Li Yi sighed lightly, it is really a masterpiece that circulates in an orderly manner, this thing, I am afraid that it will cost tens of millions of dollars if you shoot it casually!
The next thing is to take a closer look, he started with the frontispiece, and just saw the inscription of "Two Songs of Cold Food in Right Huangzhou", his brows furrowed. After reading it in a hurry, he opened the second 150 cm long scroll, browsed a little, and looked at the payment again, and suddenly smiled dumbly, or preconceived, this hand scroll is actually an old imitation!
This kind of thing is very common in auctions, and many times, the auction house will not endorse the authenticity of the lot. If you carefully study the description of the lots in the auction catalogue, you can find that except for some very certain and hyped masterpieces, the description of the authenticity of the other lots is generally vague, and it is up to the bidder's eyesight.
So, sometimes you will hear your friends cry out, "I bought this thing at auction, how can it be fake?" Don't be surprised, that's not fake, it's imitation! What's more, you can't find any evidence that someone has endorsed the authenticity of this lot, and you can only blame yourself for your lack of eyesight.
Just like the family prepared to pawn the imitation Qi Baishi's painting with the couplet, it was impossible to find the auction house afterwards.
In this case, it was just an inconspicuous drop of waves in the deep water of the auction, and Li Yi didn't pay attention to it, and directly put the things away and then looked at the next one.
The second character is Zhu Yunming's cursive ink handscroll on paper, and the content is Li Bai's "Difficult to Walk".
Zhu Yunming has six fingers on his right hand, so he calls himself Zhishan, and Tang Yin, Wen Zhengming, and Xu Zhenqing are called the four talents of Wuzhong, which is what we often call the four talents of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Zhishan is versatile, especially good at calligraphy, and even has ancient books praising it as the "first in the country" at that time, which shows that his skills are indeed extraordinary.
With the experience of the previous car, Li Yi did not have much hope for this character, but surprises often come inadvertently like this, this character is actually the true handiwork of Zhu Zhishan!
Although Li Yi didn't know how to appreciate cursive writing, he still used his fingers to scratch in the air for a long time before moving on to the next work.
The next one is a banner of the famous calligrapher Yi Bingshou during the Qianlong Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty.
Yi Bingshou Moqing, good at calligraphy, subordinate, seal is particularly fine, also through painting, sealing, the existing poetry collection handed down. His official calligraphy is often indulgent and elegant, and has a lofty and broad atmosphere, which is as famous as Deng Shiru, another great calligrapher at that time, and called everyone.
This painting is genuine, because it is a official book, although there are only a few numbers, Li Yi has seen it for a longer time.
The calligraphy is almost finished, so naturally it is time to look at the painting, Li Yi has already seen his own "Shencuixuan Picture" by Wen Zhengming from the catalog, and found that it is spreading out in front of Zhao Dafeng at this moment, and he couldn't help but smile, took a scroll from Liu Ming's side, and opened it gently.
This is one of the four masters of the Shanghai School in the late Qing Dynasty, Ren Yi Ren Bonian's painting of vertical scrolls and coloring on paper, and the flowers and birds of Yutang. Judging by the inscription, it was his work when he was forty-two years old.
Ren Bonian is one of the representative figures of the Shanghai School, his main achievements lie in figure painting and flower and bird painting, and in his early years, he was even better at fine brushwork.
His paintings are often clear and elegant, bright and warm, and also freehand. This method of painting is a pioneering innovation for flower and bird painting, so it has had a great impact on the modern and modern art circles.
After pondering for a while, Li Yi remembered several works of senior brothers and sisters that he saw at Zhong Haoqing's house on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Xu Ling and Liu Shuying are also okay, in Zhong Qi's painting, this painting method is quite obvious, and it is obvious that he is following this school.
At this time, Li Yicai suddenly remembered that he had been apprenticed for so long, and he had not yet appreciated the authentic works of the two masters, and then remembered that he had not even seen a few of Hu Zhiyuan's works, and couldn't help but hiss, his disciple seemed to be a little unqualified!
Next, he looked at a few more works, and when he opened the last scroll of color on paper, his eyes suddenly lit up, this should be the finale of calligraphy and painting, and it is also likely to be the finale of this spring auction.
This is the famous modern painter, the grandmaster of landscape painting generation Huang Zheng Huang Binhong's "Songyun Immortal Pavilion Map"!
Huang Binhong's paintings are very interesting, he was influenced by the Xin'an School of painting in his early years, and was mostly characterized by dry brushes and light ink, sparse and elegant, known as "Bai Binhong"; After the age of eighty, it is characterized by dense and heavy black, and translucent in the black, and is known as "Black Binhong".
This painting, which he painted when he was 87 years old, is the standard "Black Binhong". Although the picture is colored, it uses thick ink to give full play to the four-character style of "rich Huazi" advocated by it, which is definitely a masterpiece!
When he was immersed in the painting and couldn't extricate himself, Li Yi's ears suddenly sounded a slightly old, but slightly high-pitched voice,
"Xiao Li, how is this painting?" (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please visit wรจnhttp://mnet
