Extraordinary Genius

1120. 1120 chapter is difficult to appreciate art (8/10)

A few days later, Feng Yu, who had been playing in the manor for a few days, flew to New York. When he came to New York this time, the biggest thing was not to invest, but to participate in an auction, Sotheby’s auction.

Sotheby’s is the world’s most famous book and art auction, with branches in more than 40 countries and regions around the world, but there are two main auction sites, in London and New York.

The auction price of many artworks in the world, especially the auction price of books, is half out of Sotheby’s, which shows its status in the industry.

This time, Feng Yu came to the Sotheby’s auction in New York. It is said that this time it will auction a lot of Western art, including books, oil paintings and so on. Recently, the economic downturn, many former network tycoons, are almost bankrupt, so once their collections have to be realized.

The goal of Feng Yu is of course oil painting. I want to buy it and give it to Kirilenko as his wedding gift.

At this auction, Feng Yu told Ralph that there are several Western oil paintings, as well as world-class masterpieces such as Van Gogh and Picasso.

There are many famous painters in the history of oil painting, but these two works have flourished for many years. Even Feng Yu, a person who does not understand oil paintings, has heard of these two, and is the top two oil painter in modern history. Artist, status can be comparable to Da Vinci.

Feng Yu’s psychology, giving people something, always send a work that others know and like. If you send a Chinese painting in China, perhaps in the eyes of the Chinese people, or in the eyes of some art collectors, the value of money can be in the eyes of Kirilenko, perhaps similar to the new year paintings on the wall of ordinary people, um, ten You can buy three of the money.

……

“Boss, this is the album of the auction item. There are pictures, descriptions, identification agencies and starting price of the auction items. I have written this on the paper, and the position of the oil painting on the album.”

Ralph handed a book and a piece of paper to Feng Yu, Sotheby’s, and didn’t need to worry about it. Sotheby’s reputation is worth at least a billion dollars. If it is fake, they are absolutely afraid to come out of the auction. Of course, there will be some clear indications above, and it is impossible to determine the true and false lot, please ask the purchaser to judge.

Feng Yu began to look at the paintings according to the list, which are all expensive paintings. The first painting is the Dutch painter Rubens’s “The Slaughter of the Innocent”, which tells the rough behavior of human beings and the inner emotions including the massacre.

The starting price was 40 million US dollars, and Feng Yu crossed out directly.

Not that the price is too high, even if it is a billion dollars, he will not give heartache to Kirilenko, the two people have been very happy in the past few years. Without the help of Kirilenko, Feng Yu’s initial fund accumulation will never be so smooth.

It is because this painting is about slaughter and negative emotions. If you send such a painting to someone else as a new wedding, it is not the brain being kicked! And this painter, Feng Yu, this bandit has never heard of it.

The second one is the self-portrait of Van Gogh. Although the time of this guy’s existence, there are already photos, and he has at least three clear photos to keep in the world, and his self-portraits have at least forty, but each The picture is so sought after.

This self-portrait, Feng Yu, was vague and the colors were strange. Oh, no, the appraisal agency’s description of the painting is: not to express it in a photo-like manner, but to express and strengthen the character in a passionate way through the knowledge of color and the modern taste of color.

What is this special taste of color? Feng Yu is not interested in taste, nor does it know how those people who are so-called “understanding” art taste.

The starting price of this painting is 50 million US dollars, and Feng Yu draws a tick, leaving an alternative. Van Gogh’s name, like thunder piercing the ear, although he can’t appreciate it, maybe Brother Ki’s fiancée would like it.

The third one is called “Still Life”. The author is Paul Cézanne of France. Feng Yu looked at it on a table with Apple, onions, oranges, wine bottles, plates, tablecloths, wine glasses, table knives, etc. I didn’t see any beauty, but the starting price turned out to be $42 million.

Is this certain that the paintings of the beginners of the Academy of Fine Arts are not? Is there any difference?

The description behind the painting is: This is no politics, no thoughts, no ambition, no urgency, no pretentious Apple! It is fresh and fragrant, truly touchable, faithful to its natural attributes, quiet and shiny. This is a particularly interesting picture.

Feng Yu admire those who wrote the commentary description. This TM is Apple, which is a must for oil painting beginners to learn to draw. Of course, Apple doesn’t have any ideological politics, and there is no ambition. Can Apple still run for the President of the United States?

Especially meaningful, what does it mean? There is an onion next to Apple. Are you sure to be fresh and fragrant?

Well, the name of Cézanne, Feng Yu also heard, draw a tick alternative, according to Kirilenko’s artwork, if Feng Yu gave the picture to him, he must be hanging in the restaurant, um, Feng Yu also I feel that hanging a restaurant is very suitable.

Oh, this has a Picasso painting. Feng Yu is overjoyed, look at the name “Woman with arms folded” and send a beautiful painting, Brother Ki definitely likes it.

After Feng Yu turned to the album, it was a tangled look. This your mother is called the master’s painting? Is this the artist’s work? Is this the art that everyone praises?

Your mother This person looks more abstract than the aliens in Feng Yu’s mind. Are you sure you are not painting? This kind of painting has a visual sense of the primary school crayon works. There is no place where it is symmetrical. The lines and its roughness make Feng Yu seriously doubt whether this painting is painted by Picasso!

This painting is hung in the bedroom, and Feng Yu has to have nightmares in the evening!

But think about Picasso’s so-called abstraction, Feng Yu is still biting his teeth, and it’s an alternative.

Next, there are several famous paintings, and Feng Yu is not satisfied. Either the name is not big enough or the meaning is wrong. For example, that is also a masterpiece of Rubens, called “Beat Baby.”

What does it mean to send such a painting to a wedding, tell Kirilenko: “Brother Ki, the filial son under the stick?”

Don’t say that Kirilenko is a Russian, even if it is a Chinese person, there are places in the northeast and northwest that play the traditional children’s tradition. If you send such a painting to others, you have to be beaten!

For those manuscripts and books, Feng Yu can’t understand it. It is estimated that Kirilenko and his fiancée may not like it, and the price is not high.

Feng Yu is a bit guilty. Is it a problem with his level of appreciation? It is said that these paintings are simply made by speculation, and they are used by those aristocrats and merchants for speculation.

The art is contaminated with copper smell, so it naturally deteriorates. Feng Yu doesn’t worry about this smell of copper. He is not bad, but he wants to be good.

Now it seems that the most suitable thing should be the “still life” work. Is it really a “beginner” work? Hanging in the restaurant at Brother Ki Manor?
