Chapter 434: Kyoto City Museum

While Chen Xing was on vacation, the official of the Kyoto Arts Festival also received an email from Perenna Gallery.

Kyoto City Museum, Temporary Art Festival Photography Group Office......

An old man couldn't wait to enter the password and unlock the photos.

After a short load, a group of works with strong color clashes and emotions pop up from the screen. This is the highest resolution photographic film, and Chen Xing himself would not have been able to exhibit it without the consent of Ahmed, the current owner of the work.

"This is a work worth 200,000 euros? Dunhuang Flying Goddess? ”

The old man bent over and watched every detail on the screen with his eyes wide open.

The reason why some people say that every international photography festival is a unique teaching is because you can see a large number of works taken by different photographers in the festival, and you can experience the emotions in each work.

Walking between these works, you will gradually understand what style you are suitable for, and then learn and surpass.

Photography schools all over the world have their own walls, which is why our students can quickly improve in such an environment.

This old man has known Chen Xing's name for a long time, he has not only seen Chen Xing's other works on the Internet, but also used the convenience of his position to see another photo in this Dunhuang series up close, but this flying goddess is the first time to see it.

It's not that I don't want to see it, it's mainly that there is no way.

The first round of exhibitions of this set of photos was in Europe, and as soon as the exhibition ended, the best photos were bought, and not even a mosaic could be found on the Internet.

Thanks to the international attention to photography copyright in recent years, the rights and interests of all photographers and collectors have been protected, which indirectly enhances the value of photographic works in the collection world.

But there is also a disadvantage, that is, there are fewer ways to see good works.

Now if you want to see the master's photographic works clearly, it is the same as watching oil paintings in the past, and the most convenient way is to go to major museums.

Chen Xing's time to fame is too short, and his fame is mainly concentrated in Europe. The price offered by others is high, and Perena Gallery will definitely give priority to solving these large orders, and then consider the spread of Chen Xing's fame and deliver a few more photos in places with a strong Asian photography atmosphere.

As the place with the strongest photography atmosphere in Asia, the island country is naturally the country with the largest collection of Chen Xing's works in Asia.

There are two paintings in the Kyoto area alone, one of which is of the same origin as the Dunhuang Flying Sky in front of you, which belongs to the Dunhuang series and is now stored in the Kyoto City Art Museum. This old man is the deputy owner of the Kyoto City Art Museum, named Kenji Moriyama, who is in charge of the modern art district and is a well-known critic in the island country.

It must be said here that the islanders especially like Chen Xing's Dunhuang series, which is not a big place, but they bought four photos in this set of works.

A bunch of people are looking around the computer, most of them are learning, but there are also people who are prejudiced, and when they look at the picture, they don't think about what they have surpassed, but instinctively feel that although the photo is beautiful, it is not worth the price.

"Hype, there is no one in Europe, and they actually started to hype a Chinese person!"

A young man clenched his fists and shouted.

Sour, really sour, his prints are famous in the island country, and the production process is particularly complicated, but they can only be sold for about a few thousand euros.

How easy it is to take pictures and take pictures, Chen Xing is more than ten years younger than himself, so many people are chasing him??

His teeth were crushed.

After finishing speaking, he looked at his companions, looking for anyone who had the same opinion as himself.

Sure enough, there are still people who can't get used to it.

"I also thought about it this way, after all, Chen Xing, a young man, has only debuted for more than two years. I sometimes can't figure out why he was so popular last year, and even won the Grand Prix d'Arles from Mr. Yamazaki. ”

Yamazaki Kintaro has a very high status in the island country, as the young generation who participated in the European photography world last year, he was concerned by countless young photographers in the island country, and he thought that he could easily win the award, but this award was taken away by Chen Xing in the final.

A lot of people think it's shady.

After all, the Arles Photo Festival is an event held in France, although Chen Xing is not French, but he is a French academic, and his teacher is also a world-famous photographer and documentary director Cliff Nobel, who belongs to France's own people.

"Can't figure it out? Youngster? ”

Kenji Moriyama stood up straight, his black eyes under his white hair stared at the two fiercely, and scolded: "Yaga, what are you, and are you worthy of evaluating the masters who came to the exhibition this time?" ”

"Yes!"

The young man immediately bowed, and was frightened into a cold sweat.

"Mr. Chen Xing's works are the most understandable among modern photographers, especially us Asians, if you can't understand it, it doesn't deserve to appear in this art museum!" Kenji Moriyama gave a sharp lecture, and then his gaze swept over the other young people. "You must know that this young man in your mouth is a precious guest that we invited after three visits to the thatched house."

The rest of the office did not dare to speak, and bowed their heads deeply.

Kenji Moriyama continued, "And aren't you guys complaining about Kintaro Yamazaki? Mr. Chen was invited by him this time, and the people you admire regard Chen Xing as a lifelong enemy, doesn't this show that you are short-sighted? ”

"Hey!"

A strong pressure is in the office.

The eyes of the person who spoke just now were frightened, and cold sweat was pouring down.

Kenji Moriyama has a very high status in this museum, and has always admired Chen Xing's photography style, believing that he is a rare master of photography in modern East Asia, and has promoted oriental art to the world in his own way.

Before, his mind was hot and he said something slandering Chen Xing, and now he is in trouble.

He was just an ordinary printmaker, and he had a little popularity by being an expert in this museum, if he was expelled......

Thinking about something, Kenji Moriyama said in a very flat voice: "You go back, a guy who has no aesthetics is not worthy of appearing in a museum in Kyoto." ”

"Hey!"

After Kenji Moriyama finished speaking, he didn't care what the person's reaction was, he was ready to leave here with his hands behind his back, anyway, the photos had already been sent, and he could go back to his office and enjoy it slowly. They were about to walk out the door, when they suddenly remembered something and turned around and walked to the computer.

"Why did you send nine?"

He muttered to himself, then looked at the crowded museum outside the window, and said to his disciple Wuwei Mingxiu:

"You can contact Chen Xing's gallery again through this phone number, nine photos is too few, we need at least 30 works to use a special venue to display Mr. Chen Xing's works after the festival starts." (End of chapter)
