Chapter 1090: Calligraphy Auction (5)
After several bids, the price came to 149 million, and the famous rich man of the small island nation once again held up the sign, "150 million." He did not hesitate to raise the price directly to 150 million.
There was an exclamation at the scene, 150 million, they had thought that Chen Yi's calligraphy could reach this price, but they didn't expect it to be reached.
150 million, means that Chen Yi's calligraphy works, will step into the most high-end field of art, now the auction industry for more than ten years, up to hundreds of millions of calligraphy and painting works, but Liao Liao dozens only.
There are only about 120 or 20 paintings of more than 150 million, including Huang Tingjian, Zhu Xi, Qi Baishi, Wang Meng, Li Keran, Xu Beihong, Fu Baoshi and other famous calligraphers and painters in ancient and modern times.
Among them, the number of paintings is far more than calligraphy, and the number of calligraphy that can exceed 100 million yuan is less than ten, let alone more than 150 million yuan of calligraphy.
Zeng Fanzhi has an oil painting "The Last Supper", which was auctioned at a high price of 180 million Hong Kong dollars in the past two years, and is called the most expensive contemporary art in Asia, converted into RMB, but only more than 140 million, and Chen Yi's calligraphy work has now reached 150 million yuan, which can be said to surpass Zeng Fanzhi's Last Supper and break the record of the most expensive contemporary art in Asia.
Even if the level of paintings such as Master Qi Baishi is saved, in the auction market, there are only a few works that exceed 100 million yuan, of course, more have been collected by some collectors and have not been put on the auction market, but Chen Yi now only has three pieces of calligraphy. Two of them exceeded 100 million. This already shows that Chen Yi has become a leader in the 100 million yuan club.
The reason is simple. Chen Yi's calligraphy level is enough, his fame is enough, and his achievements are enough, and in today's chaotic calligraphy world, Chen Yi's calligraphy can be said to have brought a breath of fresh air to the calligraphy world and the collection world.
Chen Yi's calligraphy can exceed 100 million. For many, it was just a matter of time, and now, the time has come.
The artistic conception of calligraphy that makes people nostalgic and forgetful is rarely seen in other calligraphy, and only some master-level calligraphy can make them feel some, which is why Chen Yi's calligraphy makes people so crazy.
Works by some calligraphers and painters. More or less, there will be a decline in the level or a random deposit, but Chen Yi is different. Each of his calligraphy is improving, and the magnitude of this progress is very large.
Otherwise, Chen Yi would not have achieved such great achievements in calligraphy at such a young stage, with the help of talent, but it is also inseparable from hard work.
"Fifteen million and one million." At this moment, a person slowly held up the sign, and everyone saw that it was a blonde foreigner, speaking half-baked Chinese and saying his price.
"One hundred and fifty-two million." Immediately after that, another person made another bid.
The price has reached the current stage, and everyone's bid is very cautious and slow.
Finally, the price slowly increased to 158 million, and the rich man from the small island nation had been closing his eyes after giving 150 million, when he suddenly opened his eyes and held up his sign, "160 million." ”
Seeing the bid of this wealthy man from a small island nation, some bidders who had persisted until now shook their heads and gave up bidding.
They really want to get Chen Yi's calligraphy, but in their hearts, they also have their own bottom line, and it is impossible to bid endlessly.
"161 million." The blonde foreigner did not give up the auction and sold it for more than 160 million.
"One hundred and sixty-two million." The wealthy of the small island nation still did not hesitate to make a bid.
In the end, only the rich man of the small island country and the foreigner were bidding for the calligraphy, and many people were looking forward to the final price of the calligraphy.
Looking at the last two remaining people, Chen Yi smiled, he didn't care what country people got this calligraphy, all he cared about was the Chinese cultural relics in the hands of these people.
Gradually, the price came to 167 million, and after this price was paid, the blond foreigner couldn't help but look at the rich man of the small island country.
Hearing this price, the rich man of the small island nation slowly raised the sign, "170 million." The rich man didn't seem to want to be entangled like this, so he directly raised the price by three million to 170 million.
The blond-haired foreigner rubbed his temples and thought for a moment, then shook his head and abandoned the auction.
"170 million, now the quotation is 170 million, Mr. Chen Yi's book "The Former Teacher's Table", 170 million once, 170 million 2 times...... Deal. The auctioneer did not hesitate, and after shouting three times, he directly dropped the hammer and made the sale.
"Congratulations to this gentleman on No. 130, who successfully won the last calligraphy of Mr. Chen Yi, let us applaud and congratulate him." The auctioneer pointed to the rich man of the small island nation and shouted loudly.
Everyone at the scene clapped their palms and congratulated the rich man of the small island country, 170 million, which is an amazing price, and not anyone can hold on to it to the end.
Hearing the applause at the scene, the rich man of the small island country also stood up and arched his hand to express his gratitude.
After the applause fell, the auctioneer said again: "Mr. Chen Yi's three calligraphy, one is 96 million, one is 120 million, and one is 170 million, and the total transaction price is 386 million and 170 million, which has set a record for the auction of a single product in our Yazang auction house, and also broke the price of 144 million yuan for Zeng Fanzhi's most expensive contemporary artwork in Asia. ”
At this moment, everyone at the scene stood up again, facing Chen Yi, applauding, whether it was Chen Yi's fame or calligraphy level, they were worthy of their respect.
The total price of just three calligraphy paintings reached more than 380 million yuan, which is simply more than the turnover of a grand auction at some auction houses.
Even Zeng Fanzhi, who is known as the beckoning cat of Chinese contemporary art, only has one oil painting that has reached more than 100 million yuan, and as for the other oil painting, it has reached 110 million Hong Kong dollars, which is equivalent to less than 90 million yuan.
The most inherited culture and art in China is not oil painting, but calligraphy and painting, and Chen Yi is undoubtedly the first person to carry forward the traditional Chinese culture and art.
The calligraphy that was originally in decline has been forcibly built into a store that many people pay attention to, which is why many people respect Chen Yi.
Seeing everyone standing up to express their respect, Chen Yi also stood up from his seat and arched his hand in all directions, "Everyone, my three pieces of calligraphy, to achieve such an amazing result, it all depends on your attention, this achievement has part of my credit, but the biggest credit belongs to you, because this auction is in your hands, not me, so, I thank you for your attention to these three pieces of calligraphy, and at the same time, I also congratulate the three friends who have auctioned calligraphy." ”
"You persevered to the end, obtained my calligraphy at a high price, and likewise, also got a surprise, as for what this surprise is, let us invite the general manager of Yazang Auction House, Yang Qishen to reveal it for you."
The modesty in Chen Yi's words made the respect on everyone's faces stronger, a young man has made such great achievements, but he is not arrogant or impatient, it is really admirable.
And the next words made everyone a little dumbfounded, the person who photographed the calligraphy, and a surprise, in terms of Chen Yi's identity, the surprise that came out would never be ordinary.
This has caused many people to regret a little, and if they had known that there would be a surprise, they would have persevered until the end.
Yang Qishen slowly came to the auction table, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your support to this auction, the auction of Mr. Chen Yi's three calligraphy, has achieved amazing results, the average of the three calligraphy exceeds 100 million, the highest one reached 170 million, which can be said to be the highest transaction price in recent years." ”
"Just like Mr. Chen Yi said, without your support, his calligraphy would not have achieved such results, so in order to thank the three bidders who persevered to the end and won the calligraphy, Mr. Chen Yi had prepared this surprise for the three before the auction."
In the eyes of everyone's great expectation, Yang Qishen said slowly: "The surprise that Mr. Chen Yi brought to the three of them is that when Longyuan Shengxue goes on sale, the three of them can have the opportunity to buy Longyuan Shengxue directly, and the weight will not be less than one kilogram, and Mr. Chen Yi will also make tea for the three of them." ”
Hearing Yang Qishen's words, everyone showed a look of shock on their faces, no less than one kilogram of Longyuan Shengxue, and they could also get the opportunity to make tea by Chen Yi himself, which was a huge surprise.
Longyuan Shengxue, this kind of precious tea that has been lost for thousands of years, it is very difficult to make zuò without thinking, and the quantity that can be made must be very small, even if this Longyuan Shengxue is on sale, it is not something that ordinary people can buy, including them The same is true.
The biggest possibility is to go through the guò auction and conduct an auction, but these three people can directly get the opportunity to buy a kilogram of tea, which makes everyone full of envy, jealousy and hatred.
The people who participated in the three calligraphy auctions regretted it in their hearts, if they could persist to the end, they would not only get this calligraphy, but also get this kilogram of Longyuan Shengxue tea leaves, and also get the opportunity for Chen Yi to make tea himself.
Chen Yi's level of tea brewing has been the most significant proof in the tea ceremony competition, Watanabe Hideo's level of tea ceremony masters, are not Chen Yi's opponents, and Chen Yi soaked the same level of Tieguanyin, but the brew is far inferior to Chen Yi. (To be continued......)
