Inherit For Three Thousand Years

Myron is an outstanding master sculptor in the history of the world. He was a well-known sculptor throughout Greece in the middle of the fifth century BC. In the documents of ancient Greek and Roman writers, Myron and his works were mentioned more than once.

He is good at using bronze as a material, not only can express the human body in motion freely and accurately in proportion, but also is a famous player in expressing animals.

It is said that the bronze bull statue he made for Athens once attracted greedy wolves; the horse he carved actually caused real horses to neigh. It can be seen that its carving skills are exquisite and its image depiction is vivid and lifelike.

It is a pity that, in reality, apart from Pan Wu's collection, none of Myron's original works have been preserved. What we can see today are marble models made by some Roman craftsmen.

Now that Xiao Yao has presented an original work by Miron for auction, one can imagine the sensation.

The third work he is going to send for auction is Leonardo da Vinci's oil painting "Salvator Mundi".

The reason why this painting was put up for auction is that under the arrangement of Pan Wu, it took nearly 10 years for this painting to be authenticated as genuine and widely recognized by artists and connoisseurs.

"Salvator Mundi" is a painting created by the famous Italian Renaissance painter Leonardo da Vinci. The painting was completed around 1500, which roughly coincides with the creation period of the Mona Lisa.

"Savior Mundi" first belonged to the collection of King Charles I of England. It was transferred to Charles II when he succeeded to the throne, and then transferred from Charles II to the Duke of Buckingham, whose son sold it in 1763.

After that, the painting was once missing, and it was not until 1900 that the trace of the oil painting appeared again.

Over the past 500 years, the painting has been displaced and repainted many times, and the original painting was once covered under thick oil paint. In 1958, Salvator Mundi sold for £45 at an auction in England.

It was not until 1996 that this painting fell into the hands of Pan Wu. After nearly 10 years of cleaning and identification, the painting was confirmed as genuine and has gained widespread recognition.

The painting was finally confirmed as genuine, and the process was very long and difficult. This is thanks to the ever-changing modern scientific and technological means. Without the assistance and comparison of modern technological means, this painting would probably still be regarded as a fake and not be taken seriously.

The most difficult appraisal work has been completed in the hands of Pan Wu. Now that Xiao Yao is sending this painting to auction, there will be no obstacles, and the price of this painting will not be affected by the authenticity of the painting.

The fourth cultural relic he is going to send for auction is also a western oil painting, this oil painting is Van Gogh's "Sunflower".

In Pan Wu’s collection, there are four paintings of Van Gogh’s “Sunflowers”, among which there are three paintings of sunflowers in a vase, one with three sunflowers and the other two with 12 sunflowers.

What he was going to send for auction was "Twelve Sunflowers in a Vase".

This work was a gift received by Pan Wu a few years ago. Many people knew that this painting was in his hands. Therefore, this painting is also recognized as authentic.

It often takes a long time to appraise a precious famous painting. Now there are only two months left before the autumn auction. It is better to take out this kind of painting that has been passed down in an orderly manner and has been generally recognized. choose.

If you take out a painting that is relatively controversial, it may not be widely recognized within the two-month publicity period, and it will inevitably greatly affect the price of the work. This is something that Xiao Yao cannot accept.

In history, Van Gogh's "Sunflowers" once had an auction record, creating the highest art auction price at that time.

At an international art auction held in 1987, the rich and powerful Japanese company Yasuda bought a piece of "Sunflower" by the Dutch impressionist painting master Van Gogh at a staggeringly high price of 39.5 million US dollars.

However, on June 9, 1998, eight well-known international art appraisal experts jointly pointed out that the "Sunflower" treasured in the gallery of the Yasuda Fire and Marine Insurance Company in Japan,

It was not painted by the Dutch impressionist master Van Gogh, but a fake!

Norman, a British art appraisal expert, believes that the "Sunflower" purchased by Yasuda Company in Japan was copied by a Frenchman named Sgoufenak. Scuffenecker was Gauguin's friend and once kept Van Gogh's "Sunflowers".

"Sunflower" has already had a counterfeit incident, Xiao Yao chose to submit "Sunflower", there can be no disputes about the authenticity of the work, otherwise, the final auction price will inevitably be greatly affected.

The "Sunflower" he took out was a gift from a rich man to Pan Wu. It is a work with an orderly inheritance. Many appraisal masters and artists have participated in the appraisal. There is no doubt about the authenticity of the work. dispute.

In the 1980s, Van Gogh's works of similar themes were sold at a price of nearly 40 million US dollars. Today, 30 years later, what price will Van Gogh's works of similar themes be auctioned? Xiao Yao is looking forward to this.

The four cultural relics that Xiao Yao took out are all world-class art treasures. Even if you own one of them, as long as it is properly publicized, it will definitely cause a world-class sensation. For this kind of world-class art treasures, he took out 4 pieces to be auctioned at a time. If Yiyun Auction House could not invite enough important guests to participate in the auction, then there would be no need for cooperation in the future.

The cooperation conditions offered by Yiyun are exciting, but their disadvantages are also obvious. After all, Yiyun has been established for a short time and still lacks world-class influence. If they cannot invite enough wealthy guests and famous people If the museum participates in the auction, the items he sent may not be sold at a price that satisfies him. From the perspective of profit, the shortcomings of Yiyun Auction House are also obvious.

Over the past several thousand years, Panwu has collected too many cultural relics, many of which cannot even be found in the handed down documents.

Since Xiao Yao plans to sell some of the relics in his repeated collection in the future, he must first solve this problem.
