Chapter 293: Stunned
"It's not for me to decide!" Fang Yi smiled bitterly, when a fake painting appears is not decided by the painter at all, it is determined by the market, as long as you are famous, there will always be fake paintings popping up, not to mention the phenomenon of fakes everywhere in China, even it is normal for fake paintings to appear in auctions abroad.
Kahima looked at the fake painting, sighed and said, "Yi! Are you all auctioned in China? ”。
Without waiting for Fang Yi to answer, Zou Heming said: "He didn't pass on a few works in China, and I heard that several people who went to China to collect works came back without anything!" And I encountered some doubts, but I didn't dare to buy the work! ”。
This problem can also be understood, Fang Yi's early works were basically completed in Shi Yi and Fang Yi's studios, and now most of them are in the hands of Fang Yi and Liu Hongshuo. These acquired international second-class dealers don't have much understanding of Fang Yi's early style at all, because there are very few works that are identified as authentic! Not only is there no comparison, but I don't know much about some of Fang Yi's habits. It can be said that the identification of the real and the fake is very poor, so that these foreign buyers do not dare to take too many risks.
"It's unlikely that they'll want to buy my work! If you have my work in hand, as long as it appears in the market, you will definitely have an intersection with me" Fang Yi stretched out his hand and clicked on the human body he had identified, and briefly told a few people the story of this work: "If I hadn't been moved by her words, I wouldn't have painted a work for her!" ”。
"Buying a house?" Artur looked at Fang Yi and asked, "At that time, you knew that your work could be changed to another house?" ”。
"Why do Chinese body models feel like this?" Rude stroked his hand and asked Fang Yibi. Ruud couldn't figure it out. What a mannequin! For what, this girl didn't even feel like telling her family.
Fang Yi shook his head when he heard this: "Some old people's Guan Nian still can't accept this thing, be more conservative!" ”。 Fang Yi could only explain it like this, and as for something too deep, he couldn't understand it to a few foreigners.
"You're going to keep your old work forever?" Anders glanced at Fang Yi. Asked casually.
Fang Yi smiled and shook his head: "My teacher wants to donate a few paintings that I have always wanted to return to my alma mater, Shicheng Art Academy, and then I will also donate most of these works together!" ”。
As soon as he heard the teacher's suggestion, Fang Yi agreed to the teacher's arrangement, and he was also ready to donate most of his works to his alma mater. Fang Yi donated not only the works, but also some sketches and color drafts in the early stage, which, together with the works, can basically show Fang Yi's creative process at that time. After all, the current stone art has begun to favor its own style. Whether it is sketching or color, Fang Yi's style is recognized by some teachers of stone art, especially the school's upper management.
Liu Hongshuo did not tell his disciples in detail. The overall reform of stone art has begun, and one of the most important points is to get rid of the rules and regulations set by the previous CAFA! Preparing to become a stone art with its own pedagogical characteristics, the requirements of color and sketching, now with a little bit of Fang Yi's stuff. That is, what Fang Yi thinks is a good sketch. Good color. Now under the influence of Liu Hongshuo and Liu Yuchan, these old men, they have gradually begun to become the leading idea of admission and grading, but they have not been put on the surface! This also leads to the reason why Fang Yi High School art candidates are more advantageous than other colleges and universities.
"That's a good idea!" Zou Heming listened and agreed, anyway, as long as he didn't appear in the market, it would be completely OK for Zou Heming! Even if Fang Yi hid at home by himself, this person had no opinion.
For the appearance of a sketch work, Zou Heming will not mind much. Now this kind of small matter will not make Fang Yi feel that there is anything entangled. If you want to sell it, you can sell it. Isn't adding some money to buying a house for someone else exactly what Fang Yi thought at that time? And this sketch is compared to the price of the current work. That's really not on one level!
Qian of a sketch couldn't see Fang Yi's eyes, not only the few people sitting next to Fang Yi couldn't see it very well. Everybody's rich! completely got rid of the hat of poor artists, and several people suddenly became bulging. It's like someone said, the poor who engage in art die poor, and the rich die rich! In any case, Fang Yi's five people can now be regarded as a wealthy handful!
The sketch work was personally recognized by Fang Yi as having been completed by himself, and as for the work that was denied by Fang Yi, it was naturally returned by the auction house.
Now Qin Xiaolan has stopped working as a mannequin, but rented a small store with her newlywed husband. Qin Xiaolan married a chef from the same township, and the two of them set up a restaurant and started a noodle restaurant business.
Regarding the fact that she had done mannequins before, Qin Xiaolan did not hide it from her husband like some sisters, but said it after meeting a few times. Anyway, if you don't mind, get along, and if you mind, you can share! This was Qin Xiaolan's original plan. In just a few months, the two got married.
At the beginning, Qin Xiaolan didn't know that Lu Dao Fang Yi was in the limelight abroad, and he was busy with things in the museum every day, where would he pay attention to the affairs of the art circle. It was a friend who used to be a model and mentioned it to Qin Xiaolan when he came to eat noodles.
The model chatted with Qin Xiaolan about Fang Yi's fame while eating noodles, and then began to regret that he hadn't been a model for Fang Yi for nothing, if he had known that Lu Dao had strongly asked to be a model for free, as long as Fang Yi drew something for himself.
As a mannequin, and has been in the circle for several years, of course, everyone knows that Lu Dao is famous at home and abroad, where is the concept? Even if there are several famous painters in China now, there are a few who have never gone abroad to spend gold, let alone be praised by foreign mainstream art media! Fang Yi's phenomenon is simply soaring to the sky!
After hearing this person's words, Qin Xiaolan remembered that Fang Yi, Qu Gu, Tao Yong and Wei Jin each helped them draw a sketch, and when their friends left, they immediately turned it out! Then I asked the stone art teacher who I knew well. If you want to find out the price of Fang Yi's works, if it is suitable, use this work to put down your current small storefront! As for the sale of the house, let's talk about it later! Who knew that people only gave one sentence: send it to auction, this is not easy to estimate!
The auction house received Fang Yi's affirmation. told Qin Xiaolan about his estimate and the time of the auction.
"Wife! Do you think this painting can be sold? I heard that there is also a saying that there is a bad auction, "Qin Xiaolan's husband really can't believe it, a piece of paper painted with carbon is worth 250,000!"
Qin Xiaolan put down the phone in her hand, wiped her hand on her apron and said, "Because it shouldn't be!" It should be very safe for the auction house to do this! After selling this, we can take down this store, and then we can save money to buy a house, and it doesn't cost more than seventy square meters, so that the two of us can have a home in Stone City! If you have a household registration, you can be regarded as a city person! ”。
If it were Fang Yi's oil paintings, Qin Xiaolan would not be so worried. Not to mention that it can be hundreds of thousands or even millions, but now I only have one sketch, the difference between sketch and oil painting. Qin Xiaolan can still distinguish it, and there must always be some shrinkage in price.
"I hope so! Even if it's a little less, add up to the money we are saving now, even if it's enough for a down payment! Qin Xiaolan's husband took a step back in his heart. As long as he can sell for 200,000, he will be satisfied!
The estimate of 250,000 yuan made the young couple a little difficult for the next week or so. I can even dream when I sleep and dream. It's just that Qin Xiaolan dreamed of a deal and got a stack of RMB, while her husband dreamed of a failed auction and didn't get a penny from his family!
On the day of the auction, the two felt that they should not wait for news at home, but should go to the scene to see it, such a day is really difficult!
Hearing that the two sellers were coming, the auction house naturally arranged seats for the two at the auction site.
Qin Xiaolan's husband held his wife's hand and sat next to his wife. Listening to the auctioneer's mouth, he said: "The next auction is Mr. Fang Yi's sketches, painted during his studies in Shicheng!" The picture is a mannequin! As for Mr. Fang Yi, I won't introduce it too much here. Many people know the way! I just want to emphasize that there are less than ten of Mr. Fang Yi's works in the hands of domestic private individuals! This work is quite precious, and Mr. Fang Yi also affirmed that this work is from his own hands! ”。
After listening to the auctioneer's words, the husband and wife's hands tightened a little. Especially Qin Xiaolan's husband silently thought in his heart: Someone is bidding! Someone is bidding!
"The reserve price is 250,000! Each increase is 10,000! Start bidding now! As soon as the auctioneer's words fell, he saw someone holding up a sign.
"Two hundred and sixty thousand!" Hearing this voice, the husband and wife breathed a sigh of relief!
"Three hundred thousand!" One person raised the sign, opened his mouth and directly carried in 300,000!
"Three hundred and twenty thousand!".
"Three hundred and seventy thousand!". Who will pay attention to what 10,000 plus 10,000 will directly turn up tens of thousands.
"A million!" There was a more ruthless one, and it directly turned over three heels, and the price went into one million! Now the husband and wife are not calm again! Million! The husband and wife don't know what to think in their minds now, and the next reflection in the whole mind is a little late: Oh! 1,400,000,000, 1,800,000!
The husband and wife are not calm, but many of these people who participated in the auction were honest and calm. Fang Yi has been famous here for three or four months, and the well-informed have already inquired about it, and even some people can tell the word about who Fang Yi's works are in now, and some of them have heard the news that Fang Yi is going to donate paintings to Shiyi. In this way, Fang Yi's sketch work is really rare!
As for the means by which galleries maintain the price of paintings, these people also know that they are not far from ten! There is a kind of Lawrence Gallery that sells twenty or thirty of Fang Yi's works a year, so that the price of the works goes down! As Fang Yi is now, there will be no more than seven new works on the market a year! Maybe only two or three! How do you keep the price of twenty-three pairs high?!
These people guessed correctly, Zou Heming would not release twenty or thirty of Fang Yi's works at once, he would rather stay in the safe of the gallery, and this would put so many works out at once! For the five people who signed the contract, after the reputation and price of the paintings stabilized, it was a maximum of three to four paintings a year. If you want to stand at the top of the pyramid of the price of an artist's work, the style of the work is one thing, and the number of works is also very important.
"Two million and one million!"
"Two million four million!" The auctioneer didn't come to repeat in a hurry, and the new offer was refreshed!
As for Qin Xiaolan and his wife sitting below, they were only stunned, and the number that they might only be able to earn after working hard all their lives was now easily spit out by the people around them, and what these people were fighting for was just a sketch! Or a paper with carbon trails on it! (To be continued......)
