Chapter 183: It's only worth eight thousand eight
The hall is very large, close to fifty square meters, but it is another style.
There are no stands, no cabinets, but a glass wall next to each other, and the wall is full of all kinds of picture frames: there are landscapes, flowers and birds, people, fruits and vegetables, as well as letters, grasses, lines, subordinates, seals and other character banners, among which there are also many masterpieces of famous masters.
For example, there is a seal script by Wu Changshuo, as well as Ren Xi's "Double Magpie in Spring", and Huang Shen's "Dongyuan Gong...... Just these three paintings, as long as they are genuine, each of them will cost more than 10 million. If it is placed in Panjiayuan or Liulichang, no matter which one it is, it can be regarded as the treasure of the town store.
Even though he had already seen it in the porcelain exhibition hall, Zheng Wanjiu still couldn't help but be surprised, shocked by the depth of this store and the breadth of the door, and wondered why the boss didn't open it in the capital.
Correspondingly, my heart was also on fire, but looking at the label again, half of the enthusiasm was immediately extinguished: 28 million, 33 million, 42 million...... At this price, it is too expensive for him to cut it in half.
No wonder it can't be sold?
muttered secretly, continued to look forward, and just walked behind Li Ding'an, Zheng Wanjiu couldn't help but be stunned.
It's a big painting: it's not wide, it's half a meter, but it's long, and if you look at it visually, it's at least three meters or more, and it occupies a whole wall.
The painting and artistic conception are excellent, typical of the shallow landscape, the picture is elegant and light, and the painting style is bright and thorough.
At first glance, the cliffs in the distance are stacked, the cliffs are towering, and the strange mountains and strange rocks are scattered in between. The mountains in the middle are undulating, and the mountain streams linger like snakes.
The nearby big lake is vast, the smoke is swirling, and there are pine trees in the middle, and the houses and boats are ...... There are isolated islands in the lake, there are mountain bags on the lakeside, fishermen in the water drive boats to support the penny, and the people on the shore sit and talk about it......
Being able to incorporate so many scenes into one painting, without being cumbersome and stiff, shows the author's skills, so it must be the work of a famous artist. Looking at the inscriptions at both ends, there are more than a dozen seals alone, which confirms this.
After thinking secretly, he leaned forward a little, and then was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't stop taking a breath.
Let's just say why Li Ding'an suddenly didn't move forward?
At the beginning of the painting, that is, in the upper right corner, there are seven inscriptions in Lishu: Search all the peaks to make drafts. This is followed by a seal: "Lao Tao".
Lao Tao is Shi Tao, a descendant of the Ming royal family, and became a monk at the end of the Ming Dynasty to avoid disasters, with the legal name Yuanji, alias Shi Tao. He was a master of many famous artists such as Shen Zhou and sold paintings all his life, and was a famous landscape master in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.
Wang Yuanqi, the head of the four kings of the Qing Dynasty, once commented: The Danqing family in the sea cannot be fully understood, and Shi Tao is the first to push Shi Tao to the south of the river, and both Yu and Shigu have not been caught.
This was then, and now again: all his works can no longer be described as "sought after" in the collectibles market, but "chased to the explosion", and an ordinary fan can still fetch tens of millions of prices. And several huge landscapes in the mature period of creation, each of which is hundreds of millions.
What is this concept?
I don't dare to compare with Wen Zhengming, but compared to his teacher, Shen Zhou, who is also one of the four Ming families, is even better.
And "Searching for the Peak Map" is the pinnacle of its mature period, and the authentic works are collected in the Forbidden City in Beijing, if it is put up for auction, it is estimated that it will be billions. So don't guess, this one is obviously an imitation.
But the imitation should also be divided into who imitated it, such as this one, the few seals under "Lao Tao" still blinded Zheng Wanjiu's eyes: "Daqian", "A Love", "Dafengtang", "It is difficult to grow old for a long time", "Bingchen", "Remove all suffering", ...... This is all Zhang Daqian's seal.
As everyone in the world knows, Zhang Daqian rose to prominence by imitating Shi Tao, and he also loved imitating Shi Tao the most in his life, and was the best at imitating Shi Tao.
How much can it be imitated?
Including Chen Banding, Huang Binhong, and even Qi Baishi and Xu Beihong, none of them can be identified.
So, don't think that this is just an imitation, if it is Zhang Daqian's real work, seventy or eighty million is easy, and hundreds of millions are not impossible.
But not the real thing?
Anyway, with Zheng Wanjiu's eyesight, it seems that there is no problem anywhere...... Look at Li Ding'an again, good guy, look more serious than him?
In an instant, Zheng Wanjiu became excited: with his understanding of Li Ding'an, if something was wrong, he would definitely take a glance and leave, let alone stare at it, and he didn't even bother to stop his steps.
On the contrary, there is a good chance that this one is genuine.
I just don't know, can I afford it?
Turning his mind, he didn't squeak and stood quietly aside.
Li Dingan squinted his eyes and moved the magnifying glass inch by inch: at first glance, it does look like it, at least the silk paper is right, it is definitely something from the Republic of China. A few seals are no problem, all of them are Zhang Daqian's seals.
Looking at the painting, brushwork, and even ink, there are not only the characteristics of Zhang Daqian's very representative "splashing ink and splashing color", but also Shi Tao's unique "lush and unbridled" personal style.
Compared with the authentic works of Shi Tao in the Forbidden City, there are at least seventy percent similar. Looking at the time, in 1933, Zhang Daqian was thirty-four years old at the time, although he was in his prime, but compared with the works he painted after the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was still a little less popular.
In other words, Zhang Daqian's state at this time is not too stable, and there is still a bit of a gap from the degree of "imitation Shi Tao must reach ninety" in the later period, but this one has been imitated to seventy percent, and it feels quite normal.
So when I saw this, even Li Ding'an felt that there was a seventy percent chance that this work was Zhang Daqian's imitation of Shi Tao's authentic work.
The remaining three percent, two of which are painting styles: Zhang Daqian is characterized by "splashing ink and color", which is slightly more realistic, while in this painting, the occasional place uses freehand techniques.
It feels like a casual one, and like one or two strokes between instincts, although there are not many and the traces are not heavy, but it vaguely gives people a slightly incongruous feeling.
The remaining 10% is India: too much...... Even if Zhang Daqian's prints are more, there is no need to cover a painting with a full eight pieces, right?
It is well documented that there are more than 120 seals used in all the works of Zhang Daqian's life. Of course, there are still a lot of famous artists compared to ordinary people, but it is also because there are too many counterfeits imitating him, and he can only prevent counterfeiting through this method.
Therefore, most of them will be scrapped in two years and re-engraved. Just like the most common "Daqian" seal, there are more than 20 pieces, and the styles are different......
Well, the style varies?
A spirit seemed to flash in his mind, Li Ding'an stared at one of the seals, and almost excited: I'll go, is there really a problem?
Almost cheated?
Afraid of a mistake, Li Dingan hesitated for a moment, but still used the system to identify it, and then looked at the results: Haha, it is really fake......
Seeing that he finally straightened his waist, Zheng Wanjiu looked excited: "Boss Li, how is it, no problem, right?" ”
No problem?
Big problem!
If the blue and white plate I saw before was used to deceive experts, then this one was used to deceive experts. Just like Guan Dehai, who has been on TV and served as a guest in the treasure appreciation column group, is it professional enough?
But if he is replaced, a little negligence, it will still be eye-catching......
Secretly guessing, Li Dingan nodded, then turned around and left: "Lao Zheng, look at the others." ”
"Huh?"
Zheng Wanjiu was stunned for a moment: Didn't you nod, it means that there is no problem, how can you say that you can go?
At least ask about the price, right?
Turning his mind, he casually asked, "Manager, how much does this painting cost?" ”
"Hello sir, this is Zhang Daqian's real handiwork, the current price is eighty-eight million!"
100 million ...... Do you dare to ask for it?
"Can it be lower?"
"Ah...... I'll have to ask my boss about this! ”
"Then ask!"
Seeing that the manager was on the side to call, Zheng Wanjiu came over again: "Mr. Li, if you estimate it, how much will it be worth?" ”
Valuation?
Li Ding'an thought for a while and sighed: "Remove 10,000!" ”
Remove the ...... What do you mean?
No way...... Eight thousand eight hundred?
In an instant, Zheng Wanjiu's eyes almost fell to the ground: such a big painting, with such a small amount of money, is it enough to buy paper and ink?
The two in the back are similar, one of them leaned back, and their faces were full of ghost-like expressions: Li Ding'an was joking, right?
……
From the time Li Dingan started to look at this painting, the painting style in the live broadcast room has also changed a lot. There was much less cynicism, and most of them began to discuss the painting:
"It's strange, we also have Zhang Daqian's paintings in Shenyang?"
"Dude, Mars, right? Go to the Forbidden City to see, there are more than one or two authentic works of Qianlong! ”
"That's different, okay?"
"In terms of the quantity and quality of antiques, and then about players and collectors, Shenyang is not bad, and it is not surprising that there are Zhang Daqian's paintings...... Of course, the premise has to be genuine! ”
"Then do you have a big Tibetan friend to identify?"
Sheng Jing Collection: "There is no problem with the painting, no problem with the brushwork, no problem with the printing, and the characters also obviously have traces of the wind banner...... Anyway, apart from Zhang Daqian, I can't think of anyone else who can be so similar? ”
"Could it be someone else's imitation of Zhang Daqian, such as his apprentice?"
"There are indeed two of his personal disciples, who are recognized as 'imitating Zhang Daqian is the most like, almost fake and real', one is He Haixia, and the other is Mi Gengyun. But He Haixia imitated Zhang Daqian's words, that is, the wind banner body. Mi Gengyun imitates the painting, but only imitates Zhang Daqian's flowers and birds...... Therefore, this painting is most likely Zhang Daqian's own handwriting. ”
"Is it possible that these two disciples cooperated?"
State-owned cultural relics store in Liao Province - Yang Zhe: "Impossible...... You have to look at the painting silk first, it is all yellow like this, even if it is not a hundred years, it should have a history of seventy or eighty years, so it is roughly correct that this painting was created in the thirties of the last century.
At that time, He Yunxia had already worshipped Zhang Daqian as a teacher, but Mi Gengyun did not apprentice until after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War...... And although the two are brothers, they didn't meet for the first time until the eighties...... So the time is wrong! ”
As soon as this appeared, netizens were even more excited: because the state-owned cultural relics store in Liao Province is in the Forbidden City, and Yang Zhe is also very famous, and he is the leading calligraphy and painting expert in the province.
Goryeo treasure hunting: "Ha, you actually alarmed Teacher Yang?" ”
"I can't talk about shock, I'm just here to watch!"
An Benzhai: "Teacher Yang, what do you see, is it an imitation or a genuine work?" ”
"The painting, brushwork, style, and artistic conception are all seven or eight points similar to Shi Tao...... The seal is also the standard Zhang Daqian's seal carving style...... Silk paper is also right, at least before the founding of the People's Republic of China......"
"Meaning, the thing is right?"
"It's hard to say, after all, it's through the phone screen, so I can only see here......"
Jin Yi of the Palace Museum: "Lao Yang, you are also an authority in the identification of calligraphy and painting, why are you so bold: since everything is right, why don't you dare to say that this is Zhang Daqian's authentic work?" ”
Miscellaneous Fu Guochuan: "Although those who say that they are engaged in appraisal will not be full of words, but Mr. Yang, you are too modest: if you don't say that you are ten percent sure, seven or eight percent should be there, right?" ”
"Haha...... Teacher Jin and Teacher Fu are also ...... The two of them have really won the prize, how dare I say that I am so sure? ”
Yang Zhe hurriedly snorted, "At most, it looks like ......"
Netizens are even more excited: Listening to the meaning of Jin Yi and Fu Guochuan, this is Zhang Daqian's true work. It's just that Mr. Yang is too modest to say too much.
Although these two are good at identifying miscellaneous items, they are authoritative experts after all, and they still have basic vision, at least more reliable than collectibles companies and auction houses.
Therefore, the probability of authenticity has increased by one point.
Fu Guochuan and Jin Guang were very depressed: for no other reason, Yang Zhe was frightened by Li Ding'an's name. Before he opened his mouth, Yang Zhe would never mention half a word about whether the painting was true or false, at most it was like just now: ambiguous, plausible, and back and forth......
At the same time, a group of experts from the advisory group also stared at the screen, but this time it was Xiang Zhiqing who sat at the front.
"Professor Xiang, is it genuine?"
Xiang Zhiqing didn't answer directly, but smiled: "Didn't Li Dingan already give the answer?" ”
What do you mean?
At this time, it happened to be Zheng Wanjiu who asked him "Is there a problem", Li Dingan nodded, then turned around and left......
are all insiders in the insiders, who still don't understand this, in fact, it is the set of "saying new things but not fakes" and "seeing through but not saying breaking" in the antique shop? It's the same as "I can see that this thing is fake, but I can only say 'I can't see it'".
So, this turn and walk and the phrase "look at the others" behind it are the answer.
Meaning...... Fake?
A group of consultants immediately became interested: "Old Xiang, what's wrong?" ”
"Print!"
Xiang Zhiqing spit out a word concisely, and just about to explain in detail, the conversation between Zheng Wanjiu and Li Dingan came from the mobile phone. Although the voice was deliberately lowered, it was enough for people watching the live broadcast to hear it clearly:
"Mr. Li, if you estimate it, how much will it be worth?"
"Well, get rid of Wan!"
A group of consultants were stunned: such a big painting...... Impossible, right?
Suspiciously, Xiang Zhiqing slapped the table violently, and his excitement overflowed: "I know that this kid has something......"
What do you mean, it's really only worth eight thousand eight?
I've also found that it's a bit slow, it's a bit slow, it's a bit messy, and I'm trying to adjust. And according to the original plan, this episode will be written today, but the plan can't catch up with the changes:
In the morning, the electric water heater suddenly leaked and burst the gates of the entire building.
There is no way, I can only change, I went to the shopping mall at noon, and the master began to tinkle in the afternoon, first demolishing the old one, and then replacing it with a new one, and tossed it all afternoon......
There is absolutely no reason, but the fact, to deceive people and chop a few times. It's not to complain, it's to explain to you.
Thank!
