Under the competition of everyone, the price of five-color jadeite has risen rapidly, and after five points, the price has exceeded 500 million Hong Kong dollars.

There are still six guests who continue to hold up their cards.

"610 million!"

"615 million!"

"620 million"

"625 million!"

．

Several wealthy bidders invariably increased the range of bids.

After more than 20 rounds of bidding, the five-color jadeite was finally auctioned by a wealthy Malaysian, and the final transaction price was 748 million!

The price is already very high, and Lan Tianyu is quite satisfied.

The five-color jade "Sending the Child Guanyin" ornament is the last lot of jadeite and jade, and the following will be auctioned is a calligraphy and painting treasure.

The auctioneer announced loudly: "The next auction is Yuan Wangmeng's "Autumn Mountain Xiao Temple", the starting price is 60 million Hong Kong dollars, and each increase cannot be less than 500,000 Hong Kong dollars, and the bidding starts now!" ”

Wang Meng, a famous painter in the Yuan Dynasty, the word Shuming, the name Yellow Crane Mountain Qiao, also called himself Xiangguang Jushi.

There are many guests who like to collect ancient Chinese paintings and calligraphy, and everyone has raised their cards.

"61 million!"

"62 million!"

"63 million!"

"65 million!"

．

Among the four major painters of the Yuan Dynasty, Wang Shuming is known for his dense and beautiful appearance.

Wang Meng's work is dense and reckless. The "complicated line" is mainly embodied in the cow hair that was created on the basis of Dong Yuan's linen hair, and the mechanism structure of the mountain stone is expressed with a curly pen like cow hair. The "dense spots" are mainly manifested in its method of drawing on the method of juran burnt ink and large dots of moss, bald brush, heavy ink, or gathering or scattering, with dry, wet, thick, light, light, hairy moss dots of different textures clustered and scattered.

Yuan people re-express the mind, they believe that painting should first express "morale", "morale" can be expressed in a variety of ways, and the law is an important painting language to structure "morale" in landscape painting. Wang Meng's "Complex Dense Dots" is a manifestation of the strong sense of subjectivity in the paintings of the literati doctors of the Yuan Dynasty, transforming the self-perception of the time and space of the object into the complex mood of the subject, and building a visual bridge between reality and psychedelia and the viewer's aesthetic communication.

"97 million!"

"98 million!"

"99 million!"

"One hundred and five million!"

．

After breaking through the 100 million yuan mark, there are still two buyers holding their cards.

This work has been recorded in Wang Keyu's "Coral Net" in the Ming Dynasty, Peiwenzhai Calligraphy and Painting Record in the Qing Dynasty, Bian Yongyu's "Examination of Shigutang Calligraphy and Painting", and Pang Yuanji's "Xuzhai Famous Painting Record" in the Republic of China. The price can break through the 100 million yuan mark, which is also expected by the blue sky and rain.

Three minutes later, the auction ended, and the price of "Autumn Mountain Xiao Temple" was 126 million.

Next, Huang Tingjian's "Songfeng Pavilion Post" and Mi Fu's "Yan Shan Ming" also sold extremely high prices.

The following is Tang Yin's "Eighteen Ladies", Tang Yin's hand-me-down paintings, the ladies are very few, such as this painting, exquisite large-scale authentic works, but also rare in the world. The starting price of "Eighteen Ladies" is HK$250 million, with a minimum price increase of HK$1 million each time, and the auction is now open. ”

"Eighteen Ladies" is the last lot in the ancient Chinese painting and calligraphy, and after the auction of this national treasure ancient painting, it once again triggered a fierce competition among everyone.

After the auctioneer announced the auction, there were at least seven or eight bidders holding up their cards at the same time.

"HK$260 million!"

"HK$265 million!"

"HK$270 million!"

"HK$280 million!"

．

The bidders holding up signs in the field came and went, and the bidding was noisy, and the price increase was even more surprising.

Tang Yin's figure paintings are mostly ladies and historical stories, inheriting the tradition of the Tang Dynasty, with fine lines, bright and elegant colors, beautiful posture, accurate modeling, simple and concise brushwork, and full of interest.

In this frame, the images of eighteen ladies are dressed in different ways, including those who hold auspicious wishes, those who wave fans, and those who play the piano and flute; The charm is also different, some are graceful, some are graceful, some are affectionate, and some are sad and complaining. In this picture, the eighteen ladies have their own charm and are lifelike.

The eyebrows and hair buns of each lady in the picture are finely hooked and evenly dyed, and Li Gonglin's round and fluent pen in the Northern Song Dynasty is deep; The lines of the clothes are strong and smooth, and absorb the brushwork of Li Tang and the Yuan people of the Southern Song Dynasty, which has the characteristics of combining rigidity and softness, and the combination of work and writing, creating a new model of the Ming Dynasty's ladies' paintings.

Tang Yin's figure paintings roughly did not exceed the pattern of figure paintings in the Southern Song Dynasty. There are two kinds of physical appearance. First, the lines are fine, the color is beautiful, the temperament is noble, and there are works such as "Mengshu Palace Trick Picture" and "Hairpin Lady" from the Southern Song Dynasty courtyard; The other is the intention of chic, far brush such as flowing water, from the Southern Song Dynasty Liang Kai, Fa Chang, and has the atmosphere of the Yuan people, such as "Oriental Shuo stealing the peach", "Autumn Wind Fan Picture" and so on. In particular, the ladies' paintings are treasures in the paintings with novel themes, ingenious ideas, and beautiful brushwork.

After appreciating this painting, many masters believe that this is the painting with the highest artistic value among Tang Yin's authentic works. Such a national treasure painting is not intended to be missed by anyone as long as financial resources allow.

For this reason, all the powerful rich people wanted to take this painting for themselves, and under the competition of everyone, the price soon exceeded 300 million yuan.

"Three hundred and ten million!"

"Three hundred and fifty million!"

"Three hundred and twenty million!"

"Three hundred and twenty-five million!"

．

After the price exceeded 300 million Hong Kong dollars, only four or five people withdrew from the competition, and the remaining seven or eight people became more and more competitive, and the price increase was getting bigger and bigger. According to the current situation, there is also a great possibility that the price will exceed 400 million Hong Kong dollars.

Tang Yin's ladies and ladies are sketched and brushed concisely and brightly, with rigidity and softness, thickness and fineness, and a combination of rigidity and softness. The force is heavy or light, the speed is sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and the lines are moderate. The ink line is colorful, the shade is appropriate, and it has more texture and three-dimensionality. Moreover, Tang Yin's painting style injects a gentle and elegant atmosphere into Li Tang's vigorous brushwork, which makes his figure paintings reveal a leisurely literati cultivation from the rigorous courtyard style of painting.

Tang Bohu's female figures can be roughly divided into two kinds in terms of painting methods, one is the ladies' paintings with heavy brushwork, and the other is the ladies' paintings with white strokes. In particular, in terms of modeling and composition, the lines and colors have a beautiful and vivid, fresh and flowing, concise and bright effect. This is the case with this "Eighteen Ladies".

Seeing that the competition in the field was so fierce, Wan Lao said with emotion: "This painting is Tang Yin's masterpiece of lady painting, a real national treasure painting, the value is incalculable, I hope it can have a good home." ”

"The paintings handed down by Tang Yin are mostly counterfeiters, and there are very few authentic works, and a peak masterpiece like "Eighteen Ladies" is even more rare. If Tang Yin had a spirit in the sky, it would be gratifying to see that his works are so sought after in modern times. Thinking of Tang Yin's life, Dean Liang was also a little embarrassed.

Tang Yin's life was unfortunate, and misfortune was also the source of his creation, the hardships of life ruthlessly stifled his career and future, but made his literary and artistic creation. In this sense, the unfortunate Tang Yin is lucky. The real great literary and artistic achievements, but often belong to those who are close to heresy, Tang Yin is not carved, a natural creative style, so that he in the cultural history of the Ming Dynasty, outstanding independence, self-contained.

Such a masterpiece of genius, no matter what the price is, it is worth it.

After another fierce competition, the competition for "Eighteen Ladies" finally settled, and the final transaction price was HK$590 million. This price has set a world auction record for ancient Chinese artworks.

Next up for auction are Western oil paintings.

The first painting is Monet's "Irises and Water Lilies".

Claude Monet is a famous French painter, one of the representatives of Impressionism, although the founder of Impressionism is Manet, but it is Monet who really carried it forward. Because his depiction of the changes of light and shadow in the landscape has reached a state of transcendence. "Irises and Water Lilies" is one of his important masterpieces.

After a fierce competition, "Irises and Water Lilies" sold for HK$356 million.

This was followed by another of Monet's paintings, The Water Lily Pond, which sold for an even higher price, reaching HK$378 million.

After more than 30 rounds of fierce competition, Miller's "The Knitted Shepherdess" was finally sold for HK$467 million.

The fourth oil painting to be auctioned is Paul Gauguin's "Three Women".

Paul Gauguin is a French post-impressionist painter and sculptor, known as the three great masters of French post-impressionism along with Van Gogh and Cézanne, and has a very far-reaching influence on the development of modern and contemporary painting. And this "Three Women", which belongs to his most classic Tahitian painting series, is one of his most outstanding masterpieces in the later period.

After the auction of this painting began, it once again set off a peak in bidding. After seven minutes of fierce competition, the final transaction price was HK$734 million, which is converted into US$90.6 million!

This price set a record for a world art at public auction!

The last auction set an important world auction record, and all the guests present, led by the auctioneer, applauded and celebrated.

This was followed by Van Gogh's "Twelve Sunflowers".

The atmosphere of the auction has been fully mobilized, and the final price of this precious work was HK$632 million.

By the time Van Gogh's "First Step" auction began, the enthusiastic atmosphere in the venue had reached its extreme.

Confirmed by a number of connoisseurs, this precious Van Gogh masterpiece is not only authentic, but also surpasses the eponymous painting in the Met's collection in terms of artistic achievement.

The price of such a world-famous and precious work will be absolutely amazing.

All the bidders who held up the sign had already been mentally prepared for the amazing transaction price of this work.

Under the scramble of everyone, the price of "The First Step" climbed all the way, soon exceeding 600 million yuan, and then continued to break the world art auction record that had just been set again, with a price of more than 734 million Hong Kong dollars!

After setting a new record, the price of "The First Step" still did not reach the limit, and there were still three people competing with each other, and after seven rounds of bidding, the final transaction price was fixed at HK$785 million, which is equivalent to US$96.91 million!

Everyone was shocked that the world art auction record that had just been set was broken again.

Mao Xiaoyu and others laughed from ear to ear, with these two records, this ancient rhyme auction will be famous all over the world, and the reputation of the ancient rhyme auction will be completely launched.

"The next auction is Master Lan Tianyu's painting "Our Lady on the Clouds", the starting price is 300 million Hong Kong dollars, and the auction is now open."

This starting price was jointly determined by Mao Xiaoyu and Hu Bin, and Lan Tianyu thought that this starting price was a bit high, but at their insistence, they still adopted this suggestion.

What Lan Tianyu didn't expect was that such a high starting price did not affect the bidding enthusiasm of many guests at all.

"Three hundred and ten million!"

"Three hundred and twenty million!"

"Three hundred and thirty million!"

"Three hundred and fifty million!"

．

In less than two minutes, the price exceeded 500 million Hong Kong dollars.

After breaking through 500 million Hong Kong dollars, the number of bidders has been reduced by more than half, and those who are still holding up their cards are all rich people who are not short of funds or world-class museums.

Now the asking price has exceeded 60 million US dollars, and this result makes Lan Tianyu a surprise and expectation.

Although "Our Lady in the Clouds" has been highly sought after since its release, Lan Tianyu's age is too young after all, and his previous estimate of this painting is 50 million US dollars, which is already extremely amazing, if it can be realized, Lan Tianyu is already very content.

Another three minutes passed, and the price was still rising rapidly, and it seemed that it was about to reach the highest price at public auction for the artwork that "The First Step" had just created.

"Seven hundred and seventy-five million!"

"Seven hundred and eighty million!"

"Seven hundred and eighty-five million!"

"Seven hundred and ninety million!"

"Our Lady on the Clouds" really broke the record just set by "The First Step"!

The world record for public auction of art has fallen on the head of Blue Sky and Rain!

The most important thing is that this price is not the end, and there are still five guests who continue to hold cards.

For every holder of the gold number plate, Lan Tianyu knows it very well. The five people who are still bidding are: Prince Assoud, an agent of the Qatari royal family, an American hotel giant, an agent of the Metropolitan Museum, and an agent of the Louvre Museum
