Chapter 100 Identification of Famous Paintings

Chapter 100 Identification of Famous Paintings
After searching on the Internet, Chen Zhao found a well-known and very reliable auction house. After some communication, he agreed to come to the auction house tomorrow.

During the communication, he said that he had a group of masterpieces of calligraphy and painting by famous artists in the Song and Yuan Dynasties, and asked them to find some appraisers who were familiar with this field.

On the second day, Chen Zhao tidied up his clothes and came to the auction house wearing expensive clothes. After reporting his name, he waited another hour before being invited in.

Chen Zhao understood that they were testing themselves.

After all, he is an unknown person, and he possesses the works of famous artists. He must want to sell them at a good price. These people want to use this psychological tactic to lower the price.

Of course, this is also a different tactic for different people.

Chen Zhao read 702 books in the library of the [-] regiment, and he still has some experience.

After entering, a gentle middle-aged man with glasses came over and exchanged some pleasantries. Chen Zhao knew that the other party was an executive of the auction house and the director of the art collection department.

The two chatted for a few words, and the director only felt that the guest's face was calm and his temperament was calm. There was no sharpness in his words, and he couldn't tell the depth at all, so he could only get to the point: "What is Mr. Chen going to shoot this time?"

"Some calligraphy and painting works by famous Song and Yuan masters." Chen Zhao opened the box he carried with him, put on his gloves, and solemnly revealed the selected collection.

"Hey! This seems to be Huang Gongwang's work. A few years ago, a pair of Huang Gongwang's light crimson landscape painting on paper with color on a vertical scroll was auctioned at a high price of 3430 million yuan!" The calligraphy and painting appraiser next to him saw At the first glance, stars were already shining in the eyes, and he spoke.

Huang Gongwang was one of the four masters of the Yuan Dynasty, and "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" is his work. If it is really his work, it will not be in vain.

He took out the magnifying glass, put on his gloves, and began to carefully identify it. After looking at it for an hour, he stood up and sighed: "This is his authentic work!" Then he looked at Chen Zhao: "Mr. This name, this painting is amazing!"

Chen Zhao smiled lightly: "I still have the works of Ni Zan, Wang Meng, and Wu Zhen here. There are copybooks and paintings. Please take a look..."

"Good guy! You have collected all the works of the Yuan family!" The appraiser was taken aback.

The director was also shocked.

Couldn't it be that he made a false one on the assembly line of a certain workshop, right?

He didn't dare to be negligent, so he hurriedly called and contacted several appraisers. After careful study for a long time, they finally confirmed that they were all authentic works.

After all, the style of works of Yuan Sijia is very representative, and it is not easy to imitate.

"Mr. Chen, so you are a collector. I'm really disrespectful." The appraisers were so excited that their hands trembled when they signed the appraisal certificate.

Excited!

How long has it been since works by Yuan Sijia appeared on the market?

You must know that the four Yuan family are all calligraphers and painters at the level of great masters, and each of their works is worth holding a special auction.

If the four Yuan families come together, it will definitely be on an unprecedented scale, causing a sensation in the entire auction house, and it may be able to sell for a sky-high price.

In addition, these appraisers are not free to help appraise the lot. They have always charged proportionally according to the value of the lot. No matter how you calculate it, this business is too cost-effective, enough for them to live comfortably for several years.

The director is extremely excited at this moment, if he can hold a special auction with the four works of Qi Yuan, his reputation in this industry will surely reach a new height.

So he only had one thought in his mind, that is, no matter what, let Chen Zhao hand over these works to their auction house for operation.

"Mr. Chen, if you have collected all the works of the four Yuan family, if you hold a special auction, it will definitely cause a great sensation, and even sell works with sky-high prices. Our auction has strong strength, and we guarantee that you will be very satisfied. "

"How much are these works worth?" Chen Zhao suppressed the excitement in his heart, his face still as calm as a poker face.

"Conservative estimates, it should be between 6000 and 1.725 million. You know, two years ago, Wu Zhen's "The Picture of Listening to the Rain through the Mountain Window" started at [-] million, and finally sold for [-] million. This is a special auction for you, which is very sensational. The auction price will not go below that price."

"I still have a few paintings from the Yuan Dynasty. The artist doesn't seem to be very well-known, and I've been struggling with capital recently." Chen Zhao changed the subject and talked about something else.

The director immediately understood, and immediately said: "These appraisers are all here. As long as the appraisal is genuine, it is indeed a work of the Yuan Dynasty, and the quality of the painting is good, we can help you trade privately. If you trade privately, the price will be lower, but Correspondingly, we charge less handling fees, and the money you get is not very different from the auction."

"Okay, let's ask a few experts to make another appraisal."

When several appraisers heard that he still had something, they immediately raised their spirits. They all gathered around and looked at the few paintings he took out, their eyes widening.

"Looking at the painting style, it seems to be the work of a calligrapher of the Yuan Dynasty... I remember that this painting was mentioned in his travel notes..."

"This style of painting, this style of brushwork, is continuous and completed in one go. Isn't this the work of a Southern Song painter...? His seal..."

"The style of this painting is majestic and profound, fully in line with the characteristics of the painter..."

These appraisers nodded with great satisfaction, and they quickly released the appraisal certificate that complied with the law.

Not only did they see so many masterpieces by famous artists, they also saw the works of some unknown ancient painters. It was really a worthwhile trip.

In addition, they can also benefit from the identification of works, and of course feel happy.

Near noon, the director invited everyone to have a meal. When he came back, he said: "Mr. Chen, as long as you want, we will soon..., tomorrow at the latest, we will contact you with the buyers of these paintings. Look, these works add up to 5000 million sales, what do you think you are going to do with it?"

"Private transactions are also acceptable." Chen Zhao said calmly.

Obviously, he wanted to sell these few unknown works first, and then go to auction the masterpieces of Yuan Sijia.

Of course the director understood that after selling these works, Chen Zhao would give them the masterpieces of Yuan Sijia for operation.

So he patted his chest immediately: "Okay, leave this to me."

As expected of being an executive of a first-class auction house in the industry, the director recruited several buyers for Chen Zhao who prefer this kind of collection the next day. All in all, excluding handling fees and taxes, Chen Zhao got more than 400 million yuan, which was more than expected.

Chen Zhao signed the contract with a poker face, and handed over the auction rights of the works of Yuansijia to this auction house. After all the procedures were successfully completed, when he returned home, the first thing Chen Zhao did was turn on his mobile phone and look at the text messages sent by the bank. , Counting the eight digits to the left of the decimal point over and over again, tossing and turning again.
