Inherit For Three Thousand Years

After seeing this work, Manager He in the clubhouse showed uncontrollable excitement in his eyes.

Although his appreciation of calligraphy and painting is not yet at the expert level, he still knows Zhang Xiaogang's famous representative works.

He believes that after this work is put up for auction, the transaction price will be at least over 100 million yuan!

If this work was submitted by an ordinary member, there may still be a possibility of a fake, but he believes that with Xiao Yao's status, it is absolutely impossible to present a fake for auction, and it is impossible to make him happy in vain.

After the United Auction has become the business card of the club in the past few years, Manager He has learned antique and art appreciation from several appraisal experts. After several years of study, his appreciation ability has been unanimously appreciated by several experts, especially the appreciation of modern calligraphy and painting works, which is the item that he spends the most time and energy on.

He knew that Xiao Yao's Bloodline: Big Family No. 3 was created in 1995 and is the most important and mature piece in the series. It has a classic three-person family composition, in which the son in the center wears the chairman pin and arm patch, and it is the only one in the series, which is very meaningful.

In 1995, Zhang Xiaogang only painted five large-scale paintings of Bloodline: Big Family, 1.8 meters high, 2.3 meters wide, four of which participated in the 46th Venice Biennale that year, and this work is one of them. one sheet.

This work has witnessed the comprehensive maturity of the aesthetics of the Bloodline series, and it is also an unprecedented large-scale work. The previous Bloodline has never been larger than 1.8 meters wide.

Created in 1995, Bloodline: Big Family No. 1 to No. 4, No. 1 and No. 4 depict portraits of a family with two girls and two brothers respectively. Only No. 2 and No. 3 depict typical one-child families under China's reform and opening up, which better reflect Chinese society.

Compared with the yellow baby with open crotch in No. 2, the composition of No. 3 is more elaborate. It is the only one in the four works, and even in the whole blood series, with a chairman badge, wearing a red armband and The little red soldier in the green revolutionary uniform is the center of the picture. This work is undoubtedly the work that directly points out the theme in the Bloodline series. It is full of bloodline: the hidden theme of the big family, and expresses the political and historical tension behind the work.

In the indifferent and heavy atmosphere, the black and gray tones not only express Zhang Xiaogang's color philosophy in the 1990s, but also give this work a unique historical weight, revealing a sense of oppressive history.

Li Xianting, a well-known Chinese art critic, described Zhang Xiaogang's Bloodline series as a major change in his artistic career, completely eliminating expressiveness and changing to a smooth and tacky realistic style. Taking old photos as the subject matter, leaving no brushstrokes, diluting the facial structure, and pursuing the aesthetic taste of a smooth and vulgar Chinese folk painter's portrait painting method.

Li Xianting believes that Zhang Xiaogang's new creative style fills the picture with a sense of history and covers the unique sense of vicissitudes of Chinese characters from generation to generation. The miniature portraits of Chinese people are often teased by fate or even accidental. But calm as water, full of self-sufficient image.

The painting that Xiao Yao took out is Zhang Xiaogang's most mature and representative work. Once it is publicized, it will inevitably cause a sensation.

The collection value of this painting is extremely high. Once it is put up for auction, what price will it be able to fetch in the end?

Very much to look forward to.

President Xiao, this work of yours can definitely be the finale of this auction. I will contact the auction house's appraiser to come over for appraisal and go through the relevant entrusted auction procedures. I believe this work will definitely be able to sell a A price that satisfies you. Manager He couldn't wait to implement this matter as soon as possible.

Soon it was the day when the auction officially started. Zheng Xiaowu, Yu Zongwen, and Wen Yifei came to the Hanting Hotel together. After picking up Xiao Yao, they rushed to the auction venue together.

Although there were not many items prepared for this auction, there were quite a few people participating in the bidding. At least 300 wealthy people and celebrities from all walks of life gathered in the auction house.

Because Xiao Yao also participated in this auction, and there was even a collection up for auction, even Zhan Tianling, who rarely participated in auctions, came here on purpose.

As soon as Xiao Yao and others entered the venue, many people gathered around to say hello.

The members of Zhan Tianling and Xiaoyao Club are the few people who are most familiar with Xiao Yao in the venue, and everyone is very close to Xiao Yao.

Besides these people, Chu Hanxian, Duan Huaixuan, Xia Zhenkui and Chu Chu also came to Xiao Yao's side to say hello to him.

Zhan Tianling, Wen Yifei and others are the top tycoons in Shanghai. When these people gather together, they immediately become the center of the auction venue. People who are familiar with them will come up to chat with them after seeing them.

There were too many people surrounding Xiao Yao. Although Chu Hanxian and the others wanted to say a few more words, this occasion was not suitable. After saying hello, they consciously returned to their positions.

Sitting down again, a friend beside Chu Hanxian asked: Hanxian, who is that young man next to Director Zhan? I saw you greeted him just now, why don't I seem to have seen him before? ?”

He is Xiao Yao, the president of the Xiaoyaohui. This is his first time in Shanghai. Of course, you haven't seen him before. Chu Hanxian said with a little pride.

It turns out that he is the legendary Chairman Xiao of the Promise Society. I didn't expect him to be so young! When did you meet such a big man? If you have a chance, please introduce me. This young man The man put his arm around Chu Hanxian's shoulders, and said in a pretended intimacy.

This young man is one of the few people in Shanghai who can rival Chu Hanxian in terms of status and status. The two seem to be very close, but in fact they don't have much contact on weekdays.

Regarding Yang Shao's entreaties, Chu Hanxian was very helpful, pretending to be generous and said: Thanks to President Xiao for being considerate, he has always regarded me as a friend. If there is a chance, I will definitely introduce you to President Xiao.

Then thank you very much. I will set up a table some other day, invite some friends, and treat you to a good meal. In order to be able to get to know the legendary president of the Xiaoyao Society, Yang Shao gave Chu Hanxian enough face.

Yang Shao looked in Xiao Yao's direction, his eyes full of eagerness.

If that young man was only the president of the Promise Society, he wouldn't be so eager to get to know him. But after adding those two gossip rumors, it is necessary.

After staying at the entrance of the venue for at least ten minutes, Xiao Yao and others came to sit in the middle of the front row and waited for the auction to start.
