Everyone who heard it couldn't believe that only a few paintings in Manzoni's colorless series now know their whereabouts, one of which was auctioned and sold at a high price, and the other three were treasured in well-known museums, which are rare for ordinary people to see, and there is no trace of the others, and now, someone has obtained another one.

Moreover, in this message, it is also stated that the director of the Florentine Academy of Fine Arts, Oni, and the vice president of Paulo, have seen this painting, and have carried out careful research and identification, and determined that it is a colorless series of paintings created by Piero Manzoni in the later period.

For the two directors of the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence, many people are very trusting, and at the same time extremely excited, Manzoni's later colorless series of paintings, which is even more rare, all those who know the news, at this moment, are boiling.

Many people in the Italian art world, through their own connections, asked Dean Oni and Dean Paul about the painting and its owner, so that they could prepare for the next purchase.

The news of the appearance of Manzoni's colorless oil paintings in Florence gradually spread in Europe, and many artists who heard the news were full of disbelief.

Although Manzoni is very young, his fame in the art circle is no less than that of some famous artists.

His colorless series, in particular, pushed the boundaries of oil painting and is considered by many to be one of the most revolutionary and far-reaching artistic contributions of the post-war period.

Artists who have a certain level of capital and level. We all know the intensity of the auction at that time. Many people at the scene were fiercely scrambling. Competing for the ownership of the colorless oil painting.

Those oil paintings are basically Manzoni's early works, and if this one is really a later work, it means that its artistry is more mature, and it means that its collection significance is greater, and everyone hopes that their collection room can have such an oil painting by a famous artist, like that. It will definitely be the envy of everyone.

When many people learned that this oil painting was obtained by a Chinese person, they were full of shock, and they could not have imagined that such a work by a famous artist would be obtained by a Chinese person.

However, this made them even more relieved, in their consciousness, as long as they gave more money, they believed that this Huaxia man would definitely sell it.

Many people also pass through guò some channels. Got this oil painting photograph with the signature of Piero Manzoni on it. It was very clear, exactly the same as its real handwriting, and the folds of this oil painting were more perfect, more concise, and clean, and they immediately had a strong desire to have it.

They used their connections to contact Dean Paul and expressed their intention to buy the painting, and some of them directly offered a price of up to 100 million yuan.

It's just that after asking Chen Yi about some of these people's purchase requests, Dean Paul directly refused, saying that this oil painting would not be sold.

This made some artists angry, and they had a strong desire to possess it, especially for such a famous painting.

At the same time, some Italian television and radio media also made some reports on Chen Yi's oil paintings, and released the photos they got on TV.

According to the information they received, this oil painting was actually found by a Chinese man in the antique market in Florence, and before that, this Chinese man had already found many valuable antiques, and at the same time, he was also a famous antique appraiser in China.

The reports of the Italian media are also very pertinent, and now that the Chinese exchange group is doing cultural exchanges in Italy, they dare not be too presumptuous.

According to the report of Guò this time, some artists with a strong desire for possession slowly inquired about the real process of Chen Yi getting this oil painting, and at the same time bribed the oil painting shopkeeper with a lot of money.

The oil painting shopkeeper, after reading the news, was already in a state of great regret, a Chinese man, in the antique market, found a colorless painting, there was no color on it, only folds, which was exactly what he had encountered a few days ago.

He even had the heart to die, an oil painting worth more than 10 million yuan, and he received 20 million US dollars, but he was driven out like this, and he imagined countless times in his heart that if he got this oil painting himself, how much his fate would change.

No longer has to stubbornly guard this small oil painting shop and sell this oil painting, he will become a multimillionaire in the blink of an eye.

Because of Chen Yi's fame, he didn't do anything before, but after the promises of some rich people, he used some media to slander Chen Yi's process of getting the oil painting, saying that Chen Yi deceived the homeless man and defrauded the oil painting at a very low price, so Chen Yi is a liar, a huge liar.

These artists have a certain amount of capital and strength in Italy, so they can naturally control one or two media, so soon, the news that Chen Yi deceived the oil painting was published in several media.

After getting the news, Dean Paul quickly informed Chen Yi that Chen Yi was really not surprised that he would be slandered, and some people would do anything to get the paintings, which was all in his expectation.

He did not let Dean Paul and others keep his possessions secret, just to make this oil painting famous throughout Europe and even the world, so that his Chinese museum could get great benefits.

Subsequently, under the arrangement of Dean Paulo, several major media in Italy conducted interviews with the client, that is, the homeless man Marco.

Marco recounted the situation in detail, "The owner of the oil painting shop was the most hateful person, and I went to his shop to sell the painting, but he had no interest in seeing it and kicked me out, but Mr. Chen Yi came to my aid and stopped him from driving me away. ”

"After that, Mr. Chen Yi also offered to see my things, and after I took them out, he only opened a small part, just glanced at them, and asked me how much it was, while the owner of the oil painting shop next to me was laughing at me that this painting was an inferior garbage product, not even a color, and it was full of wrinkles."

"When I said the price, Mr. Chen Yi directly took out 1,000 euros to me, I was afraid that he would regret it, so I left directly, and he called me in the back at that time, but I pretended not to hear and ran faster, so who is the liar, the owner of the oil painting shop is the liar."

Subsequently, the media reporter asked Marko: "Then we later learned that Mr. Chen Yi found you and gave you some compensation, are you satisfied with this compensation, after all, this oil painting is worth nearly 20 million US dollars." ”

"When Mr. Chen Yi called me at that time, he seemed to have a certain guess about this painting, so he was ready to compensate me at that time, but I ran away because I was afraid that he would regret it, and later, my wife was seriously ill and bedridden, and when she was about to die, she was sent to the hospital by some people, and was admitted to the best ward, and gave the best treatment, and later, Mr. Chen Yi found me, I knew that it was he who helped me, and he gave me two choices, one is money, and the other is work, I chose the latter, and I am very satisfied, for the simple reason that Mr. Chen Yi is the one who is really willing to help me. ”

As he spoke, Marco looked at the reporter, and then said disdainfully: "If those capitalists are changed, the owner of that oil painting shop is changed, with their dislike of the homeless, will they take the initiative to find the homeless to compensate, no, absolutely not, they are only worried about whether they will get less money, so the most hateful thing is the owner of the oil painting shop, this oil painting he could have gotten, but he gave it up." ”

"In my hands, this oil painting is only worth 1,000 euros, but in the hands of Mr. Chen Yi, it is a priceless treasure, so I have no regrets, I am very satisfied."

The video of Marco's interview was broadcast by several major Italian media, and after learning of this fact, many people strongly condemned the owner of the oil painting shop, as Marco said, he is the real hateful person.

Subsequently, Chen Yi told some media that he knew that these slanders were instigated by someone behind them, and he could not bear this kind of slander, so he would apply to the court to prosecute and find out the real culprits behind the oil painting shop owner, and at the same time, these behind-the-scenes instigators would be listed on the blacklist of the Chinese Museum.

Chen Yi's move made some other artists put away their thoughts, the Chinese Museum is no longer an ordinary museum, there are many precious cultural relics in it, and even the Chinese treasure Lizhu is in it, it is a very magical thing, plus now this Manzoni oil painting, this museum already has the capital to attract many people, and if you can't go to the museum because of the blacklist, in the circle, it is definitely a shameful thing.

At the same time, Chen Yi also said that this oil painting is the top work of the famous Italian artist Piero Manzoni, so he will not sell it, anyone who wants to see this oil painting can go to the Chinese Museum to watch, and in the next few days of cultural exchanges in Rome, in addition to displaying Chinese artworks, it will also display the sweet water soaked in the Chinese Zhibao Li Zhu, and let some people taste it on the spot.
