Antique Dealer

Chapter 92
Xing Shu prepared a lot of calligraphy and paintings for the charity auction. Fang Hao estimated that the value is nearly 2000 million. In addition to the painting of Bada Shanren brought by Li Jikai, these alone can hold a small auction .

In addition, several famous works also participated in the auction.

Fang Hao and Li Mingchao admired these calligraphy and painting works, talking in whispers from time to time, accumulating appreciation experience.

When he walked to the corner, Fang Hao heard a middle-aged man next to him sigh: "I really want to thank Mr. Xing for building this communication platform and allowing us to see so many authentic works with our own eyes."

Someone beside him smiled and said, "Mr. Qin, aren't you a museum expert? Haven't you seen few authentic works?"

Mr. Qin said: "That's different. I can only look at the museum through the glass. How can I have such a close observation opportunity?"

"In this case, do you think it is useful to go to the museum?"

Mr. Qin was a little unhappy: "Why is it useless? The collections in the museum have opened my eyes. Otherwise, how could I have harvested so many collections?"

When Fang Hao heard this sentence, he thought that President Qin would not go into a misunderstanding.

Many people can learn to identify cultural relics by going to museums more often. In fact, ordinary Tibetans can only learn to observe the cultural relics in museums through glass cabinets separated by thick glass. not allowed.Only in this way, it is definitely not possible to learn the real experience of actual appraisal.

So if you see the collections of this kind of collectors, you will feel terrible. They are all the same "national treasures" as in the museum.I don't know this Mr. Qin
Of course, the museum's collections can indeed broaden your horizons, and you can know some characteristics of genuine objects, which is also indispensable in the process of learning antique appreciation.

In addition to going to the museum, the antique market is a must. Whether it is a private antique store or a state-owned cultural relic store, you can get started looking at artifacts with consent.

When learning to identify utensils, the touch is very important. For example, if you look at a piece of glazed pottery unearthed, the weight, the dryness of the glaze, the traces of soil stains on the decoration, and the rusty characteristics of the fetal bone, you will be familiar with it if you look at it more. It is the true experience of object identification.If you can only recite the identification tips in books, you may be at a loss and be at a loss when you encounter real artifacts.

At this moment, a middle-aged man walked up to Boss Qin and smiled: "Boss Qin, what collection did you bring today, can you let us see it?"

Li Mingchao whispered next to Fang Hao: "This guy must have bad intentions."

Fang Hao was about to ask Li Mingchao if he recognized these people, when Mr. Qin glanced at the person, and then said triumphantly: "Of course, I brought two works here today, and I will participate in the auction later."

"Oh, which two are they?"

"It's these two paintings!" Mr. Qin led his people to two ancient paintings: "This one is Sun Kehong's "Rock Plum Picture", and the other is Zhang Daqian's imitation of Shi Tao's "Remaining Water and Mountains" picture."

"Oh, they look like two good paintings!"

"Of course, I managed to buy these two paintings through my friends."

"Then you are willing to auction it?"

"To be honest, I'm really reluctant, but in response to Mr. Xing's call, I went out, and as Mr. Xing said, whether these things are born or not, they can be used for the charity of our country. It’s worthwhile to make some contributions.”

When Mr. Qin said this, his voice became louder. Anyone with a discerning eye knew that he was trying to flatter Xing Shu, but he offered "real money" to support, and Xing Shu would definitely welcome it.

The person who asked Mr. Qin just now gave a light snort: "Hey, there seems to be something wrong with this painting by Sun Kehong!"

When Mr. Qin heard this, his face suddenly changed: "Why is something wrong?"

The man pointed to a place on the scroll: "Look here, is there any trace of restoration?"

When President Qin saw the location, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Hey, why do I think this is an old painting that has been preserved for hundreds of years, and some moths should be normal!"

The man chased after him and said, "Is it just a moth-eaten repair? But I think it doesn't match Sun Kehong's style!"

Mr. Qin's expression turned pale: "Do you know what Sun Kehong's style is like?"

The man immediately said: "You are really right. I do have some research on Sun Kehong. He draws on the strengths of the past dynasties in painting, and he has a deep sense of antiquity. His landscape painter Fa Mayuan, in which he depicts Yunshan Learned Mi Fu’s techniques, his flower-and-bird painters are Xu Xi and Zhao Chang, bamboo painters are French Wentong, orchid painters are Zheng Sixiao. He occasionally paints figures, immortals and Buddhas, and has the charm of Liang Kai. He is also good at flowers and likes to use dry brushes. Whether it is painting with color or ink, the style of painting is simple and elegant."

"And then?" Mr. Qin sneered, "Are you talking about it, where does the style of this painting not match?"

The man spread his hands: "Boss Qin, let's just discuss it. If you're so excited, it won't be interesting!"

Mr. Qin put on an aggressive posture: "Yes, I was discussing with you. Didn't you say that its style does not match Sun Kehong himself? Why can't you tell why?"

"Look, I haven't said anything yet, you are so excited, how can we talk about it?"

The man put on an innocent look, and pointed to Fang Hao who was admiring the painting next to him: "It happens that Teacher Fang is here, let him comment, how about it?"

Fang Hao already found out from Li Mingchao just now that this guy has some conflicts with Mr. Qin. When Fang Hao heard that this man pulled him out, he wanted to scold him. There is a conflict between you, why bring it on him?If he said that this painting is wrong, wouldn't that make Boss Qin feel uncomfortable?
Mr. Qin is full of confidence: "Mr. Fang, can I trouble you to take a look?"

Since Boss Qin had said everything, Fang Hao couldn't refuse, and said, "Let me take a look first."

Mr. Qin nodded and said yes, and stared at Fang Hao from the side. His eyes seemed to be like thieves, which made Fang Hao feel uncomfortable.

After a while, seeing that Fang Hao was almost finished reading it, Mr. Qin rushed to say: "Mr. Fang, my painting should be fine. Look at it, there is also the seal of Zhou Fenglai, a collector of the Ming Dynasty."

Fang Hao pondered for a moment, then said: "Calligraphy and painting have been forged for a long time. Especially in the mid-Ming Dynasty, the level of forgery was so high that it was difficult for experts to identify it.

Let me tell a story here. Wen Zhengming is a student of Shen Zhou, and he likes to collect his teacher's works very much. Once, Wen Zhengming saw someone selling Shen Zhou's paintings in Zhuanzhu Lane, bought them back as if they were precious treasures, and hung them in the inner room. Observe carefully.His friend Gu Congyi then also went to Zhuanzhu Lane to buy paintings, and bought a painting by Shen Zhou at a lower price, which was exactly the same as the one Wen Zhengming bought.Needless to say, both are fakes.

Wen Zhengming has seen a lot of ancient calligraphy and famous paintings in his life, and he is a famous connoisseur. He is very familiar with the works of his teacher Shen Zhou, and he will be deceived.It shows that the level of counterfeiters at that time was too high, and the fakes could completely resemble the real ones.But at the same time, it also shows that sometimes, the eyesight and experience of connoisseurs are not credible.
