Extraordinary Genius

Chapter 1125: Art that is hard to admire (8/10)

A few days later, Feng Yufei, who had been playing in the manor for a few days, went to New York. He came to New York this time. In fact, the biggest thing is not to invest, but to participate in an auction, Sotheby’s auction.

Sotheby's is the world's most famous auction house for books and art. It has 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 attend the Sotheby's auction in New York. It is said that this time, many Western art works, including books, oil paintings, etc., will be auctioned. Recently, the economic downturn, many former network tycoons, are almost bankrupt, so once their collections have to be realized.

Feng Yu’s goal 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, who does not understand oil painting at all, 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 of 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. Well, ten dollars can buy three.

......

"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 picture book and a piece of paper to Feng Yu, Sotheby's lot, no need to worry about being fake. 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 lots, 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, Feng Yu directly crossed out.

Not that the price is too high, even if it is a billion dollars, he will not be saddened by 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 not 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 saw, vague, and the color is very 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 the taste, nor does he know how those people who are so-called "understanding" art taste.

The starting price of this painting is 50 million US dollars, Feng Yu drew a check, leaving an alternative. The name of Van Gogh is as good as the ear, although he can't appreciate it, maybe the brother's fiancee will like it.

The third one is called "Still Life". The author is Paul Cézanne of France. Feng Yu looked at it. It is a table with apples, 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 ambitions, no urgency, no pretentious apples! It is fresh and fragrant, real and touchable, faithful to its natural attributes, quiet and shiny. This is a particularly interesting picture.

Feng Yu is very admired by those who write reviews and descriptions. This tm is an apple. It is something that must be drawn by oil painting beginners. Of course, Apple has no ideological politics, no ambition, can Apple still run for the president of the country?

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

Well, the name of Cézanne, Feng Yu also heard, draw a tick alternative, according to Kiri Lenko’s artwork, Feng Yu would like to send this picture to him, he must be hanging in the restaurant, um, Feng Yu also thinks that hanging a restaurant is very suitable.

Oh, this has a Picasso painting. Feng Yu was overjoyed, looking at the name "Woman with arms folded" and sent a beautiful painting.

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

Nima is more abstract than the aliens in Feng Yu’s mind. Are you sure that you are not painting? This kind of painting has a sense of sight in 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 kind of painting hangs in the bedroom, Feng Yu has to have nightmares at night!

But think about Picasso's so-called abstract faction, Feng Yu still bite his teeth and hooked up, alternative.

Next is a few famous paintings, Feng Yu is not very 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: "Golden brother, a filial son under the stick?"

Not to mention that Kirilenko is a Russian, even if it is a Chinese, there are places in the northeast, northwest, etc. where you have traditional children. If you send such a painting to others, you have to be beaten!

Those who have manuscripts and books, Feng Yu did not understand, and 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 does not worry about this smell of copper. He is not bad, but he wants to be in the picture.

Now it seems that the most suitable thing should be the "still life" work. Is it really a "beginner" work? Hanging in the restaurant of the Kei Manor?
