Chapter 522: Finding Fault
After Fang Yi finished speaking, he turned his head to the front of a work, and carefully admired this painting from George? Vasari's work, which is not very familiar to the average person, is best known for a series of frescoes, and he was a student of Michelangelo.
Tony took Fang Yi around the exhibition hall like this, and after almost an hour, Fang Yi found a problem.
"Why didn't the audience come in?" Fang Yi looked at the deserted museum and asked Tony.
Tony looked at Fang Yile and said, "You came today to meet our closing day!" βγ
As soon as he heard Tony say this, Fang Yi immediately smiled and said, "Then I'm still a coincidence!" βγ Fang Yi didn't pretend that because he was coming, Tony would close the entire museum. To be honest, this kind of treatment is not even the Italian prime minister, and even if dignitaries from various countries come over, it is only a more detailed vigilance work, and it is unlikely that the museum will be closed to the public.
After saying these words, Fang Yi saw several bald or hairy heads not far away, coming together, following behind him almost five or six meters away.
"Who are these people?" Fang Yi asked Tony.
Tony immediately beckoned to these five or six people, and these people immediately walked towards Fang Yi and Tony.
"This is some of the appraisers in the Pavilion!" Tony introduced Fang Yi one by one.
Fang Yi naturally had a smile on his face, and exchanged a few words with these people one by one.
"I've almost seen the paintings, so let's go and look at the paintings that haven't been put out?" Fang Yi and the appraisers of the museum turned to Tony after greeting each other and said.
Tony listened to Fang Yi's suggestion. Nodding his head, he jokingly said to Fang Yi and several appraisers: "When I followed Fang, every time he stood in front of a work and stopped for too long, I couldn't make up my mind a little in my heart. I've wanted to hear you say you're going to the collection room! βγ
"Am I that terrible?" Fang Yi listened to a few cheers with several appraisers and then said to Tony.
Tony stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation to Fang Yi: "The museum exhibits some of the best collections in our museum, if there are a few forgeries, it will be a big blow to us!" I still don't think I should experience the experience of the director of the Japanese Museum of Western Art! βγ
Fang Yi also joked to Tony as he walked: "Don't worry, if you also have Vermeer's works here, I will definitely sue you!" βγ
Following Tony into the warehouse, Fang Yi knew that this was similar to the Versailles Museum where he had stayed, and the so-called warehouse was not built underground, but on the third floor of the museum hall. After passing through a few doors with security guards, Fang Yi and the others arrived at the so-called warehouse of this museum.
The works in the warehouse are not all placed in wooden boxes, and many of the works are hung on the walls and shelves. This kind of shelf is a bit like a slide holder, and each piece of work is like a slide show stuck on the holder. The reason why it can be placed like this is because the temperature and humidity here are guaranteed to be within a certain range.
Tony took Fang Yi and several appraisers to see a few works, all of which were genuine! But it's not as famous as the author of the work hanging outside, and it's all a painter with a little name. Most people lived more than 150 years ago. It's long away and it's not far enough.,It's not close to it.,The reputation is so little but it's not very good on the table.,In general, it's more than enough than the top.γ
Although many of these people's works may have been high-priced at the time, or sky-high prices at the time, the vast majority of people's works are about 70,000 or 80,000 yuan, and the best is only 670,000 US dollars, and this is still when some people particularly like this work.
Painting did not arouse Fang Yi's interest. Then let's discuss the so-called appraisal with these appraisers, just some works. Fang Yi began to talk about what he understood, of course, as a master of fakes. And Fang Yi, who still has a bit of hard goods in his head, is not too difficult to talk about.
I have been communicating with this group of people for a day, and when Fang Yi came over again on the second day, he found that there were more people who came to listen to him today.
The way people talk has also changed, and today is not Fang Yi's own special lecture, that is to say, Fang Yi can't enjoy the worship of the gang of people yesterday, and the respect is so respectful that Fang Yi is intoxicated.
Instead, there were constantly some people asking questions to Fang Yi, and most of the time it turned into a Q&A meeting.
After saying this for almost an hour and a half, he rested for a while, and at this time in the middle, two more people joined in, and Fang Yi only learned that among the extra few heads today, the last two people who joined were not too optimistic about their own level!
That's right, it's this kind of feeling that can't be looked up to, and Fang Yi felt it in the question and answer just now.
However, Fang Yi didn't want to take this matter to heart, there are always some people in this world who look at you as unpleasant, whether you are famous or not, these people are objective.
As for saying that these two old things were arranged by Tony, Fang Yi didn't believe it, although Tony was a little stingy in Zhang Xu's words, he was not stupid, and he wouldn't do anything like making enemies for himself. If it was really arranged by Tony, Fang Yi could only feel that his eyes were useless.
After everyone finished resting, everyone came to the front of a work again, Fang Yi looked up and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, because this work was not the one Fang Yi saw just now, but was replaced by a new work.
Now on the wall is the French Fauvist painter AndrΓ©? Deresa's work.
Although DeLan's work, this one is not very good, or even excellent, if you want to exceed his current market highest price of six million dollars, you don't even think about it, at most it is about four or five hundred thousand dollars, not to mention that he is not the real thing but a copy.
To say that imitation is also a good imitation, this is of course Fang Yi's opinion. Even the things in his mind didn't need Fang Yi to tell the truth at a glance, such an imitation really couldn't arouse too much interest after Fang Yi saw the statue of the Virgin.
For the replacement of this thing. Fang Yi was a little confused, and then turned his head to look at the two old things who didn't seem to be very interested in him, if it weren't for the fact that these two old things were too old, and Fang Yi also wanted to show a little bit of the traditional virtues of the Chinese people, with a little bit of old thoughts, of course, more importantly, Fang Yi wanted to maintain his consistent image in the eyes of the world. Due to the above points, Fang Yi was just a little unhappy now and didn't have anything special to say.
"Mr. Fang. What do you think of this work? One of the two old lady named Rosa asked Fang Yi.
Without waiting for Fang Yi to speak, Tony spoke first: "Mr. Fang is good at classicist works, but not too good at Fauvist works!" βγ
This sentence is to relieve Fang Yi. Seeing the work on the wall being replaced with a picture of Andrei that I hadn't seen before? Delan's, Tony felt like his head was getting bigger.
How could Tony not understand these two people, just like the above said, there are everyone in this world. It doesn't matter what the level of professionalism is. There are always people who feel good about themselves! And these two old things are very old, and their thoughts are not very good to keep up, to put it bluntly, sometimes they unconsciously carry a meaning that makes people feel that it is racial discrimination. That is to say, sometimes the words that come out of the mouth are out of place.
If ordinary people take these two old people, there is nothing they can do, because what they can do is not a big deal, but Tony doesn't see this matter that way, because he knows that Fang Yi is not an ordinary Chinese or a Chinese like to shrink his head when he encounters trouble.
Some things are easy to talk to, but it is not vegetarian when it comes up, and one of the standard formulations around Fang Yi is a lawyer. I know that he is different from the Chinese who generally find a lawyer when they have something: this person is not afraid of lawsuits and does not lack money for lawsuits, a group of people who are difficult to deal with in the standard Western style!
Besides, Fang Yi's reputation is also here now. If the two old things said something openly, and then after Fang Yi's lawyer interpreted it, then their own museum would be troubled.
Thinking of these two old things as if they were going to do something, Tony had a headache, and he was ready to scold the two old pigs: You two are just a little older, and you live a little older, do you really think Fang Yi is a kid who delivers Chinese food on the street? I was scolded by you for a sentence or two, and then I turned around and left?
Fang Yi didn't expect that Tony was afraid that today's matter would turn to racial discrimination, Fang Yi couldn't imagine that it was not because Europeans always talked about equality, and if he didn't believe it, just look at the Spanish media, but Fang Yi didn't think that his skin was worse than that of white people. I think that Fang Yi feels that he still has less hair on his body and doesn't have much smell, and he has evolved a little bit! Of course, Fang Yi never said this idea.
Seeing what Tony wanted to say, Fang Yi smiled and stretched out his hand to stop Tony, looked at the old woman who spoke, and said, "What's so good about an imitation, and a very inferior imitation?" βγ After speaking, Fang Yi was still looking at the two of them with a puzzled expression on his face.
"Anyone can tell the level of imitation!" Fang Yi looked at the expressions on the two faces a little embarrassed, and added.
As soon as she heard Fang Yi say this, the old lady looked at the old man next to her and had a little doubt. I guess he asked in his own eyes: Didn't he say that he was not good at distinguishing between modern art?
The old man looked at Fang Yi and couldn't help asking, "You know it's an imitation at a glance?" βγ
"It's all at this level, and you can't see it?" Fang Yi himself has imitated a lot of things, and this one really can't even reach his own level, if he is a little conceited, Fang Yi can say that the level of his imitation of the teacher's work is better than this person, how can he not see the reason. In some cases, the imitator must also be the master of the appraiser, and there is a thin layer of paper between the two professions.
Fang Yi wanted to stab two more times, but the old man named Alfred took out another work from his hand, directly lifted it up and asked Fang Yi, "Then what about this work!" βγ
"Imitation!" Fang Yi glanced at it and said directly, after speaking, he walked a meter away from the old man, took the work in the old man's hand and looked at it carefully for less than a minute, and then returned the painting: "It's much better than the one imitated above, it is estimated that it was imitated one after the other, and it was from the same person's hand!" βγ
"How is that possible!" When the old man heard this, he immediately shouted at Fang Yi: "This work was bought in the auction house and has been appraised by ......."
"Auction house?!" Fang Yi couldn't help but laugh twice when he heard this.
As soon as he heard Fang Yi's statement, Alfred couldn't help but just want to refute it, but his mind couldn't help jumping out of the matter of the tossing auction house in front of him during this time, and he was also the world's No. 1 auction house, not comparable to his part-time auction house.
"It's okay, that's all for today!" Tony immediately began to stir up.
After speaking, he leaned sideways and raised his hand towards Fang Yi: "Fang Shengsheng, I'll send you out!" Let's talk as we go."
Since Tony said so, Fang Yi was not interested in staying here any longer, so he followed Tony out of the museum.
"I'm sorry! I didn't know the two of them were going to come today! Tony said.
"Nothing! Bobile I've dealt with bobiel, and I mentioned these two? Fang Yi said confidently.
Seeing Fang Yi's expression that didn't seem to be too unhappy, Tony also relieved himself and sent Fang Yi to the side of the road to see Fang Yi get into the car.
After two more days in Italy, Tony opened two old thorn balls when Fang Yi went to the museum.
Things are going very smoothly, Fang Yi's affairs in Italy are about to be finished, and when he is doing the knowledge of imitation crack identification for the appraisers of the museum, he sees an employee walking in, and there are two people behind him.
"May I ask if you are Mr. Fang!" The two walked up to Fang Yi and unfolded their documents to Fang Yi, it turned out that the two were policemen. (To be continued......)
