After 50 rounds of bidding, the price of "Pine Eagle Picture" has exceeded 100 million Hong Kong dollars, but the number of people still participating in the auction is still more than 10, and it seems that the price of "Pine Eagle Picture" still has great room for improvement.

The price now far exceeds the world auction record for a living painter in China!

This result, which many people had predicted before the auction, has now become a reality, and although it is gratifying, it is not shocking.

However, the price of "Pine Eagle" is still rising rapidly, and the on-site bidding is still hot, there should be a great room for growth, is this "Pine Eagle" actually approaching or even surpassing the world auction record of a single work of a living painter?

Although this speculation is a bit crazy, based on the current situation, there is a real possibility that it will come true.

The world auction record for a single work by a living artist was set in 1995 by American painter Crow Lewis for a life-size oil painting "The Sleeping Girl", which sold for a staggering $21.5 million.

Crowe Lewis was born in Berlin, and during the Nazi period, his family fled Germany and became American citizens.

Louis's works before the age of twenty relied almost entirely on observational and intuitive materials. Perhaps due to his withdrawn personality in his childhood, or perhaps due to his sensitivity to reality, his paintings seem full of gloom and horror.

After the 60s of the last century, he moved away from the hustle and bustle of international art trends, and began to develop in the direction of the depth of his own field, painting works that are as big as or larger than real people.

Louis painted with his strong visual art, especially the nude. The body painting is famous. His girlfriend, daughter and dog have all been on his canvases, and his 1987 oil painting "Mr. and Mrs. Alice" has just fetched a staggering $19.8 million at this year's Christie's spring auctions.

The guests who have no strength to compete, seeing the auction price of "Pine Eagle Picture" rising rapidly, are all excited in their hearts, maybe they will be a witness to a miracle, if this miracle can be realized with their own eyes, it will definitely be an unforgettable experience.

Lan Tianyu accompanied Wan Lao to sit in the center of the front row, and saw that the price of "Pine Eagle Picture" exceeded 100 million Hong Kong dollars, and he was also very excited. He is only twenty-two years old now, and he has already achieved such amazing achievements in the art world, which is indeed something to be proud of.

Wan Lao was also extremely excited, as a teacher of Lan Tianyu, it was naturally an honor to see his students achieve such extraordinary achievements. What is even more rare is that "Pine Eagle" is a pure Chinese painting, but it has been appreciated and affirmed by artists all over the world, which is what he is most happy about.

Lan Tianyu's friends are also proud of him, and now they have not yet made a bid, and the price of "Pine Eagle" is already so amazing, which fully shows the indulgence and love of the guests present for this painting.

After the price exceeded 150 million, five more buyers had no choice but to give up the competition due to lack of financial resources. The guests present thought that the last moment was coming, but they didn't expect that at this time when the results were about to appear, there were seven or eight guests bidding with their cards. Instead of easing in the slightest, the competition has become more intense.

Among the guests who have just participated in the bidding are Prince Assoud, Zhao Wenhai, Xie Huajie, as well as bidding agents for the Louvre Museum and the Metropolitan Museum. With the strong participation of these new forces, the price of "Pine Eagle Map" soon exceeded 160 million yuan!

The exchange rate between the Hong Kong dollar and the US dollar is about 8.1:1, and the transaction price of HK$160 million plus 10% commission is equivalent to US$21.73 million.

This figure represents the blue sky and rain, and the "Pine Eagle" has broken the world's highest auction record for a single work by a living painter set by the American painter Crow Lewis!

The fact that a 22-year-old from the East has broken this world record that has been in the dust for three years is shocking news for the global art world!

This is especially true for the Chinese art world.

Wan Lao, Fan Qingfeng, Dean Liang, Zhao Wenhai, and Xie Huajie were all happy and proud of the great achievements made by Lan Tianyu.1 The auctioneer also announced loudly in an excited tone: "As the auctioneer of this auction, I feel very honored! Master Blue Sky and Rain's "Pine Eagle" is now priced at HK$160 million, equivalent to a realisation price of US$21.73 million, which has set the world's highest auction record for a single work by a living artist! It is a great honor to witness the birth of this miracle. Let's congratulate Master Blue! ”

The guests in the venue were also excited to witness the birth of this miracle, and they all spontaneously gave loud applause.

"Pine Eagle" has set a new record, and after today, it will become famous all over the world at the fastest speed, which means that the appreciation potential of this painting in the future has added another weight.

After this good news, the price of "Pine Eagle Picture" skyrocketed, and soon broke through the HK$200 million mark.

After breaking through the 200 million mark, there are only five guests left who are still holding cards.

Two of them are Lan Tianyu's friends Prince Assoud and Zhao Wenhai, the other two are agents of the Louvre Museum and the Metropolitan Museum, and the other is an unidentified entrusted agent.

After the price exceeded 220 million, the Louvre Museum gave up the competition, and after some deliberation, Zhao Wenhai also gave up bidding.

There are still three guests left who are still bidding.

When the price climbed to 230 million, Prince Asoud also gave up the competition.

According to Prince Assoud's original intention, the appreciation potential of "Pine Eagle" is too great, and it is his personal favorite work, so he should bid for it at any cost. But from the perspective of a friend, Lan Tianyu has already given him a work, and if this work still falls into his hands, it will be a very unfavorable thing for Lan Tianyu to promote his fame.

The best outcome is that the Metropolitan Museum of Art will be able to bid for this work, so that more people can enjoy it with their own eyes, which is the most beneficial to further the world popularity of Blue Sky and Rain.

Since Asud regarded himself as a friend of Lan Tianyu, after adding fuel to the fire, he finally had no choice but to give up the final battle.

After six rounds of bidding, the Metropolitan Museum of Art finally made the most resolute bid, winning the auction of "Pine Eagle", and the final hammer price was HK$243 million!
