Treasure Hunt all over the World

Chapter 1625: Special paintings

Kalmet looked at the lyrical abstract painting again, and a suspicious color flashed in his eyes again.

   Those thoughts just now came to his mind again, and he fell into a dilemma of indecision.

   Ye Tian looked at him with a smile, waiting for Kalmet to make a decision, acting very relaxed.

   I was sure that the painting was in the style of lyrical abstraction, and when I saw the content of the painting, some onlookers who thought to be knowledgeable at the scene lost interest in the painting!

   As for those who know little about the art of painting and the history of Western art, they all looked at the painting curiously and watched the excitement, without knowing the mystery.

   After pondering for a moment, Kalmet raised his head and looked at Ye Tian and said:

   "Steven, these two paintings can be sold in bundles, but the price is not five thousand euros, but six thousand euros. I don't know if you can accept it? If you can, then you can sell it now."

   However, Ye Tian changed the subject at this time and did not immediately finalize the art deal.

   "Karlmet, can you tell me the origin of this painting? How come you have a lyrical abstract painting in your hand? I'm curious!"

   "Okay, Steven, as I said before, I am not only a professional painter, but I also deal in art sales. This is a painting I received!

   The original owner of this painting was a retired old man who came to Nice to enjoy his old age. At the beginning of the year, the old man passed away and left some relics.

   The painting in front of me is one of the relics. When the family of the old man dealt with the relics, he sold this painting to me. The source is legal and there is no problem! "

   Kalmet explained a few words, which sounded reasonable.

   It’s good if the origin is legal, or just an explanation!

   "In this case, there is no problem, six thousand euros, deal! Kalmet, I want these two paintings!"

   Ye Tian smiled and nodded, and stretched out his right hand.

   Kalmet took a deep look at Ye Tian, ​​then at his rock-like right hand, then gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and shook hands with Ye Tian to conclude the deal.

   "Okay, Steven, the deal, six thousand euros, these two paintings belong to you, congratulations on your harvest of two good works of art!"

   "I also want to congratulate you, Kalmet, for making this business, your income must be very good!"

   Ye Tian said politely, but he was already happy in his heart.

   Next, Ye Tian took out his wallet and drew six thousand euros from it, handed it to Kalmet, and completed the art transaction.

   At the same time of payment, he did not forget to ask Kalmet to issue a certificate, which was witnessed by Antoine on the spot, so as not to encounter difficulties when passing through French customs with the two paintings.

   After finishing all the procedures, Ye Tian shook hands with Kalmet again, and he was about to leave and go to the next antique booth.

   At this moment, Kalmet asked curiously:

   "Steven, can you tell me your appraisal of that lyrical abstract painting? I don't quite understand why you bought that painting? Is there any mystery in it?"

   Ye Tian glanced at the Nice painter, then smiled and shook his head and said:

  "Karlmet, since you have successfully sold these two paintings, it is best to put them aside, don't worry about it anymore, it will not do any good, it will only spoil your mood.

   The most you should do right now is to enjoy the joy of successful trading. Although I have some opinions on this lyrical abstract painting, I am not sure.

   Whether my opinion is correct or not, it needs further identification and verification. Nothing is known. Let’s stop here, Kalmet, I wish you a nice and pleasant day! "

   After finishing speaking, Ye Tian took the two paintings, took Betty, and turned to the next antique booth, ready to continue the treasure hunt.

  Kalmet, who stayed in place, had a pale face and a bit of regret in his eyes!

   At this time, although he has six thousand euros in his pocket, he can't be happy.

   He has a very bad feeling. Just now, he was probably ransacked by Steven's bastard, missed a top art piece, and the greatest wealth in his life!

   However, even if he wanted to break his head, he couldn't understand how the value of that lyrical abstract painting was embodied!

   The goods on the second antique booth are lackluster, mostly handicrafts, and some worthless antiques. It is not worth stopping and admiring, let alone putting it forward!

   Ye Tian quickly glanced at the goods on the stall, then led Betty out and walked to the next stall.

   Until this time, Betty finally couldn't restrain her strong curiosity, and asked in a low voice:

   "My dear, if I guess right, this lyrical abstract painting must be a top-level work of art, right? Which artist's work is it, and how valuable is it? Tell me quickly."

   Ye Tian turned to look at his curious wife, then smiled and nodded.

   "Yes, this lyrical abstract painting is indeed a top-level artwork. No matter the artistic value or the market value, it is all extraordinary, it is rare to see it!

   After my preliminary assessment, this is probably a painting by the famous Russian painter Kandinsky, the founder of abstractionism, and a work at the peak of his art in his later years.

   If my appraisal conclusion is correct, based on the market conditions of Kandinsky’s peak works, the value of this lyrical abstract painting should be no less than ten million US dollars.

  Of course, my appraisal conclusion needs further verification. When I return to New York, I will do another appraisal, but no matter what the result is, I like this painting very much.”

   Having said that, Ye Tian was extremely sure of his appraisal conclusion, and it was impossible to make a mistake!

   Undoubtedly, this is an outstanding painting made by the artist Kandinsky. It is a veritable top-level work of art, and it is invaluable!

   The dozen or twenty charming halos on this painting are the most perfect and accurate proof.

   Just walking to the entrance of the antique market, Ye Tian spotted the painting at a glance and made an accurate judgment.

   That's why he walked to Kalmet's booth, played a good show, and successfully won the painting!

   As for the realistic landscape painting depicting the beautiful scenery of the Bay of Angels, it is just a guise, of no value!

   "Wow! It is a top-notch artwork of the ten million dollar level, and it is an outstanding work by the artist Kandinsky. This is crazy!"

   Betty directly exclaimed in a low voice, almost dancing with excitement.

  Feibut she, Taylor, Lisa, and Antoine next to them were so excited when they heard what Ye Tian said, they almost cheered.

   Regarding the appraisal conclusions given by Ye Tian, ​​they did not doubt at all, but believed very firmly!

   When did Steven look past his eyes? Not once, and this time is no exception!

After    exclaimed, Betty lowered her voice curiously and asked:

   "Since it is a painting by the artist Kandinsky, how can Kalmet not know him? He is also a professional painter and an antique dealer, so he should have a certain appreciation ability!"

   Ye Tian slowed down, turned to look at Betty, then at Taylor and the others, then smiled and explained in a low voice:

  "Not only Kalmet, but most of the antique art appraisal experts in the world may not be able to identify it. The situation of this painting is very special because it is a lyrical abstract painting.

   There are many masters of abstraction, including Kandinsky, Mondrian, Malevich, etc., but when it comes to lyrical abstraction, the real master of art is Kandinsky.

   Kandinsky’s artistic style was very changeable throughout his life. He experienced successively such artistic styles as impressionism, new decoration movement, Bauhaus movement, abstractionism, and abstract expressionism.

   In his later years, it was another peak of Kandinsky's artistic career. He created lyrical abstract painting, which is Kandinskyism, and caused a huge sensation.

  Because there is only such a master of lyrical abstraction, people will naturally think of it when they find a good lyrical abstraction painting. Is this Kandinsky's work?

   If it is identified as Kandinsky’s painting, it will naturally increase its worth ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and it will also cause a sensation; if it is identified as not his work, then the value of this painting need not be mentioned.

   After Kandinsky moved to France from Germany in 1933, he has been living in Paris. No one knows whether he has been to Nice during this period and painted such an outstanding painting here.

   Because of this, Kalmet and many other antique art appraisal experts judged the error, thinking that this is not Kandinsky’s painting, but an imitation, and of average value!

   Facts have proved that Kandinsky has not only been to Nice, but also created a very outstanding painting here. As a creator of beauty, how could he be willing to miss the beauty of Nice!

   Very coincidentally, the day before we left New York, I spent four or five hours at the Guggenheim Museum. The Guggenheim Museum is the largest collector of Kandinsky's works!

  At the Guggenheim Museum in New York, I saw a lot of Kandinsky’s paintings, one or two of them are very close to the one in front of me, so I think this is Kandinsky’s work"

   These words are reasonable and impeccable at all. No one can find the loopholes and raise doubts.

   Looking at Betty and the others, they almost sound silly, everyone nodded frequently, and their eyes were full of admiration and envy!

   Next, Ye Tian explained a few more words before ending the topic.

  Wait for everyone's mood to calm down a bit. Ye Tian took everyone forward and continued to raid the largest antique market in southern France, sweeping wealth crazily!
