Chen Yi directly pinched the arm of the shopkeeper, and when the shopkeeper saw this, he struggled for a while, but found that his arm was like being caught in an iron and couldn't move, so he said angrily: "What are you doing, let go of my hand." ”

"No, don't you see that he's already walking outside." Chen Yi said coldly, then let go of his hand, stepped forward and patted the homeless man on the shoulder, led him to the outside of the door, and then said in Italian: "Hey, hello, may I ask what is your name, can I take a look at your things." ”

Hearing Chen Yi's words, the homeless man's body trembled slightly, and he slowly turned his head and looked at Chen Yi, his eyes were full of gratitude, "This gentleman, my name is Marko, I didn't lie, I really have something left by my grandfather." ”

"No one says you're lying, can you show me your stuff, I'm very interested." Chen Yi said with a smile.

"This gentleman, if you are willing to believe this homeless man, you will regret it, he will definitely cheat you out of your money." The owner of the shop next to him said with resentment.

Chen Yi smiled faintly and gave the homeless man a positive look, and the homeless man slowly took out a plastic bag from his bag, and then took out a folded canvas from the bag, "This gentleman, this is my thing." ”

Seeing this folded canvas, Chen Yi couldn't help frowning slightly, because Huaxia Chinese painting uses several layers of rice paper, and it is ink, so it can be folded slightly, but the mineral solid pigment of oil painting cannot be folded in most cases.

The owner of the oil painting shop on the side saw this oil painting folded together, and his face suddenly showed a gloating expression. "This gentleman. I guess I was right. Can a person who can fold oil paintings together, expect that there will be some treasures in his house? ”

"Marko, is this painting always folded together?" Chen Yi saw the folded oil painting and asked.

Marco hurriedly shook his head, "No, it was originally in a frame, and I didn't think it was convenient to take it, so I folded it together." ”

Chen Yi nodded. I opened the oil painting a little and looked at it, and saw that the oil painting was blank, and there were many wrinkles on the canvas, which looked unbearable, "Haha, this gentleman, do you see it, I said before, he is here to deceive people, holding a blank." And full of crumpled canvases, just want money. The shopkeeper also swept the part of the oil painting with his peripheral vision. Immediately laughed and said.

Looking at this blank and wrinkled oil painting, no, it should be called a canvas, Chen Yi did not show any disdain on his face, but was very solemn, as if he had thought of something, and said, he used an appraisal technique on Marco and this oil painting, "Marko, how much is the sale price of your oil painting." ”

Seeing that Chen Yi didn't seem to be joking, Marco hesitated for a moment, and then said, "You just give me a thousand, no, eight hundred euros, and I'll sell you this painting." ”

Soon, Marco's identification information came over, and all the information showed that what he said was true.

Chen Yi smiled, and then took out a thousand euros, "Marco, this is a thousand euros, I bought your painting." Although the identification information of the painting has not yet been revealed, he feels as if he has seen it somewhere.

While he gave the money, the identification information slowly appeared in his mind, and Marco gently took the money with his hand, and then said, "Sir, thank you, I'll go first." As he spoke, he seemed to be afraid that Chen Yi would regret it, so he walked quickly into the distance.

Chen Yi saw the identification information, his eyes widened, and then he said to Marko, "Marko, wait first." ”

It's just that when Marco heard his words, he didn't stop, but ran faster, and in a blink of an eye, he disappeared.

"Haha, see it, it's too late for you to regret it now, those homeless people are very familiar with the environment here, you can't catch up, a thousand euros, bought a canvas, and it's a defective canvas." Seeing Chen Yi's movements, the owner of this shop suddenly laughed and mocked.

Chen Yi shook his head, looked at the canvas in his hand, and his heart was still full of shock, "No, I don't regret it, it should be you who regret it, this oil painting is really a treasure." With that, Chen Yi ignored the owner of the shop, took the oil painting, and left the antique street.

After seeing the identification information of this oil painting, Chen Yi suddenly remembered where he had seen such an oil painting, to be precise, he had heard of such an oil painting, he saw it just now, but he couldn't remember it, and the reason why he heard it was only because the author of the oil painting was too crazy.

To be precise, this is not a canvas, but an oil painting, an oil painting that can be called priceless.

Looking at the identification information in his mind, Chen Yi was full of emotion, "The item was successfully identified, and the information is as follows, the name of the item: Piero?" Manzoni, "Colorless", made by about fifty-seven years ago, by Piero? Manzoni. ”

"Maker information: Piero? Born in Italy in 1933 and considered a genius by most fine artists, Manzoni's every move was imbued with radical ideas and often surprises, and in Milan he realized a more famous table, in which he gave his guests, who were invited here, to eat 'art', that is, to eat these eggs. ”

"What is even more shocking is that he sold his feces for the price of gold, which was stored in ninety sealed cans."

"Artistic characteristics: Every work created by Manzoni is full of unworldliness and unimaginability, in oil painting, he used oil or grease to complete his paintings on canvas in the early days, and then soaked the white canvas in liquid clay to make the canvas wrinkled, that is, his series of works, colorless."

"This kind of colorless painting is in line with today's Western aesthetics and lifestyle, clean, fresh and beautiful, representing the extremely high level of Western monochrome painting."

"Item Value: Piero? Manzoni is called a genius by most Western aesthetes, his works are full of avant-garde ideas, colorless is one of the representatives, this colorless painting is Manzoni's later works, can be called the highest level in the whole series, so it is priceless. ”

Looking at the words in the appraisal information, Chen Yi's face was full of sighs, and he didn't know whether he was excited or helpless when he got this painting.

Chen Yi is not very fond of Manzoni as a European avant-garde artist, and some of his works are also the same, perhaps because of the different perspectives of Chinese culture and Western culture.

For example, this colorless painting is made by dipping canvas and other materials into a clay liquid, and later even using straw, fake rabbit skin, cotton, bread, etc., to create a painting with no color but wrinkles, which in the eyes of Westerners is an interpretation of color condensation.

Such a painting, in the eyes of a traditional Chinese artist like Chen Yi, is really not too valuable, but in the eyes of these Westerners, it is an oil painting worth more than 100 million yuan, which is the difference in culture.

Chen Yi learned about Manzoni's name before, or on some auction information, the auction item is naturally Manzoni's canned stool, he made a total of 90 zuò, each can has his autograph, and a unique number, and he also gave these shocking works a very direct title, called, artist's poop.

A few years ago, two numbered cans appeared at auction, one was sold for 110,000 euros, which was about 1.2 million yuan at the time, and the other was auctioned at Sotheby's in Milan, Italy, with a transaction price of 124,000 euros, or about 1.5 million yuan.

It's just a pity that this genius artist died young, and when he died, he was only twenty-nine years old.

From Chen Yi's point of view, this is a cultural appreciation difference, not to mention liking or hating, he took the oil painting to a no-man's land, put the oil painting into the storage space, and unfolded it.

In the identification information, he knew that the back of the painting had been sewn together with a piece of cloth, presumably by the homeless man's grandfather or father, because on the back was Piero Manzoni's autograph and the date of creation.

Chen Yi shook his head and smiled, he didn't expect that the oil painting taken out by the homeless man would be Manzoni's colorless, worth more than 100 million yuan, just now after he saw the identification information, he wanted to stop the homeless man and give him some compensation appropriately, but he didn't expect the homeless man to think that he regretted it and ran away.

And the owner of the oil painting shop is also a pure fool, and it is estimated that he did not expect that this wrinkled painting would be the work of the famous art master Manzoni.

If he knew, he would definitely regret jumping off the building, 100 million yuan, which is enough to compare with dozens of times that of his oil painting shop.

After finding such a work, Chen Yi didn't have the heart to continue shopping here, so he took a taxi back to the hotel early.

At this time, Fu Lao and the others had not yet returned to the hotel, Chen Yi took out the oil painting from the storage space in the room and unfolded it on the table.

The folds of this oil painting have no regularity at all, but such a work of art can be loved by Westerners.

Carefully observing the piece of cloth sewn together at the back of the canvas, Chen Yi used some small tools to slowly remove the cloth, revealing the autograph of Manzoni and the date of creation. (To be continued......)
