Extraordinary Genius

Chapter 1091: Unappreciable Art (8/10)

A few days later, Feng Yu flew to New York for a few days at the estate, and this time he came to New York, the biggest thing was not to invest, but to attend an auction, Sotheby's.

Sotheby is the world's most famous auction company for books and works of art, with branches in more than forty countries and regions around the world, but two main auction venues, one in London and the other in New York.

Many of the world's art works are auctioned heavenly, especially books, half of which come from Sotheby and can be seen in their industry status.

This time, Feng Yu came to the Sotheby auction in New York, where he was said to be auctioning off many Western works of art, including books, oil paintings, etc. Recently, the economy has been depressed, and many of the former online wealthy people are about to go bankrupt, so once their collections had to be taken out and realized.

Feng Yu's target, of course, is oil painting. Want to buy it and give it to Kirilenko as his wedding gift.

At this auction, Feng Yu told Ralph that there were several copies of Western oil paintings, as well as world-class masters 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 has no knowledge of oil painting, has heard of these two painters, named the top two oil painters and artists in modern history, whose status can be compared to that of Da Vinci.

Feng Yu's psychology, giving people things, always sending a work that others know and like. If you send a Huaxia national painting, perhaps in Huaxia's eyes, or in the eyes of some art collectors, it's worth ten grand, but in Kirilenko's eyes, maybe it's like a yearly painting on an ordinary man's wall, well, 10 bucks for three.

……

“Boss, this is the gallery of the auction, with pictures, descriptions, appraisal agencies and starting prices of the auction, and I wrote it down for you on this piece of paper about the location of the oil painting on the gallery. ”

Ralph handed Feng Yu a picture album and a piece of paper, Sotheby's auction, and he didn't have to worry about it being fake. Sotheby's reputation is worth at least tens of billions of dollars. If it's fake, they'll never dare to take it out for auction. Of course, there will also be some clear indications above that it is not possible to determine the true or false auction, ask the buyer to make their own judgement.

Feng Yu started looking at paintings according to the list, all of which were more expensive oil paintings. The first painting is by Dutch painter Rubens, The Massacre of the Innocent, which talks about the crude behaviour of humankind and the intrinsic emotions, including the massacre.

The starting bid was $40 million, and Feng Yu cut it off.

Not too expensive, even if it was a $1 billion, it wouldn't hurt him to give it to Kiriko. The two of them have been very happy to work together over the years. Without Kirilenko's help, Feng Yu's initial accumulation of funds would never have gone so smoothly.

It's because, this painting is about massacres and negative emotions. If you send this painting as a wedding present to someone else, it's a brain kicked by a donkey! And this painter, Feng Yu, has never heard of it.

The second one is Van? Tall self portraits, even though this guy was alive in his time, and he had at least three clear pictures left in the world, and his self portraits, at least forty, were all so sought after.

This is a self-portrait of Feng Yu. It's blurry and the colors are strange. Oh, no, the description given to this painting by the accreditation body is not to express it as a photograph, but to express and enhance it in a passionate way through knowledge of color and contemporary taste of color.

This is a fucking modern taste? Feng Yu can't taste it anyway, and doesn't know how those who so-called "know” the art can taste it.

The starting bid for this painting is $50 million. Feng Yu drew a check and kept it as an alternative. Van Gogh's name, like Lei Kwong Ear, although he can't appreciate it, maybe Ki's fiancée will love it.

The third one is called Still Life, by Paul of France? Cézanne, Feng Yu looked at it and it was just a table with apples, onions, oranges, bottles, plates, tablecloths, glasses, knives, etc. He didn't see any beauty, but the starting bid was $42 million.

Are you sure it's not the paintings of those beginners at art school? What difference does it make?

And the description behind the painting is: It's just no politics, no so-called ideas, no ambition, no impatience, no deep apples! It is fresh and fragrant, real and palatable, faithful to its natural properties, quiet and shiny. This is a particularly interesting picture.

Feng Yu was very impressed with the people who wrote the commentary description. This TM is an apple, a must-have for beginners of oil painting. Of course, Apple doesn't have much thought and politics, and it doesn't have ambition. Can Apple still run for President of the United States?

It's particularly interesting. What's the point? There's an onion next to the apple. Are you sure it smells fresh and fragrant?

Well, Cézanne's name, Feng Yu has also heard of it, paint an alternative, according to Kirilenko's artistic taste, if Feng Yu sent him this painting, he must have hung it in the restaurant, um, Feng Yu also thought it would be very appropriate to hang it.

Hey, there's a Picasso painting here. Feng Yu Daxi, watching the name "Woman with Arms and Breasts", sent a beautiful painting, Ki Brother will love it.

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

Nima looks more abstract than the aliens in Feng Yu's mind. Are you sure it's not a handicap? This painting, there is a kind of elementary school crayon work both visual, no place is symmetrical, the lines and their roughness, makes Feng Yu seriously doubt that this painting is not painted by Picasso with feet!

This painting hangs in the bedroom, Feng Yu must have nightmares at night!

But think about Picasso's so-called abstract party, Feng Yu still bites his teeth, too, alternative.

Next, several famous paintings, Feng Yu is not very satisfied. Either it's not famous enough or it's not true. For example, that one is also Rubens' masterpiece, called "Beating the Baby."

What does it mean to give a painting like this at a wedding, and tell Kirilenko, "Brother Ki, under the stick is the filial son? ”

Don't say that Kirilenko is Russian. Even if he is Huaxia, he has a tradition of beating children in the northeast, northwest and other places. You send him such a painting, he will be beaten up!

The manuscripts, books, etc., Feng Yu couldn't understand, Kirilenko and his fiancée might not like it, and the price was not very high.

Feng Yu is somewhat distressed. Is there a problem with his level of appreciation? Or are these paintings simply fired, by nobles, merchants or something, for profit?

Art stinks of copper, so it spoils naturally. Feng Yu is not worried about the smell of copper. He is not bad for money, but he wants to meet the scenery.

Now it looks like the most spectacular piece is the Still Life. Is it really a beginner's piece? Hanging out at a restaurant in the Brotherhood?
