Inherit For Three Thousand Years

"Okay, tell me." Xiao Yao didn't think Abraham would pay a high price, but he still decided to listen.

"We are willing to pay US$12 million and US$14 million for "Girl Reading Book" and "Frog in the Lotus Pond", and US$25 million and US$28 million for "Fire" and "Thunder". I don’t know Are you satisfied with the price?" Abraham felt that the price he gave was high enough, but he was not at all sure whether he could impress Xiao Yao, a rich man who was not short of money.

After hearing Abraham's quotation, Xiao Yao's reaction was very flat, but Lu Jinguang was a little excited.

Before coming to Kyoto, Abraham had already conducted preliminary negotiations with Lu Jinguang. At that time, the price quoted by Abraham was not so high. The price of "Thunder" with the highest estimate was only 23 million yuan, which was 500 yuan less than the current price. Ten thousand U.S. dollars.

Lu Jinguang believes that this quotation is definitely not the highest purchase price set by the Louvre in Paris, and there should be a lot of room for improvement.

The quotation of "Thunder" is now 28 million US dollars, at least 30 million US dollars is sure.

No matter how high the quotation given by Abraham is, Xiao Yao will definitely not transfer all these four works to the Louvre in Paris, and Lu Jinguang also thinks so.

Now that Xiao Yao is becoming more and more famous in the global art world, his works will definitely have a lot of room for appreciation in the future. Selling all the works in hand now is a short-sighted behavior, and it will also affect the room for future price increases of Xiao Yao's works.

The price of a living painter's work is directly related to the number of works he created and brought to market.

The more works created, the lower the price will be, and if the more works are put on the market, the price will be even lower.

The price of the work is also related to the age of the author.

The age of the creator is too young, the number of works created in the future is unknown, and the number of works may be very large. Because of this possibility, the market price will be set more cautiously.

Collectors invest in works of art to appreciate in value. If the potential for appreciation is low, it is impossible to be sought after by the market.

Xiao Yao is too young now, who knows how many works he will create in the future? In case he had a convulsion in his head, he would draw more than a dozen or even dozens of works of the same type, even for masterpieces like "Fire" and "Thunder", the price would definitely not be much higher.

Take the "Mona Lisa" as an example. If there are dozens of "Mona Lisa" in the world, can it still become the treasure of the Louvre in Paris?

The prices of works by living painters are generally not too high, because there is a great quantity risk. Only when the number of works created after the death of the painter is fixed can there be an accurate market positioning.

Even for works with extremely high artistic achievements, if there are too many similar works, the market price will not be high.

Top domestic art institutions like Jingyuan Gallery, which has rich experience in art promotion, have strict plans for the number of works of its painters to be put on the market.

The number of works to be put on the market must be controlled to a certain extent, and it must not be too much. The works created by painters should also avoid too many repetitions of similar themes. Even if a series of themes is launched, it is necessary to ensure that there are obvious differences between each work, and it should not be too much.

Originally, Xiao Yao did not intend to sell these works. Although he was very confident in the artistry of his works, he had no confidence in the price.

He is too busy with work and has too many things to do. He is not a pure painter. The number of works he creates is destined to be limited and not too many. Moreover, he does not intend to create the same type of works repeatedly. If the price of the works is too low, he will not be able to accepted.

He is not short of money, nor is he in a hurry to gain fame, and there is no need to rush to sell his works. After the exhibition of his works, Xiao Yao was already very satisfied with the wide recognition of him from the global art world.

If the price is too low,

It is true that he will not sell his works, but now Abraham has quoted a price close to 30 million US dollars, which makes him very moved.

As of now, the highest auction record for a work by a living artist is set by Jeff Koons.

Jeff Koons' giant orange installation "Balloon Dog" set a new auction record for a work by a living artist this year at $58.405 million.

If it is narrowed down to the field of painting, the highest auction record for a living painter is created and maintained by Richter.

In 2013, Richter's oil painting "Milan Cathedral Square" painted in 1968 was sold at Sotheby's New York for a high price of 37.125 million US dollars (about 231 million yuan), creating the highest auction price for a single work by a living artist at that time Record.

In February of this year, his work "Abstract Painting" sold another 30.389 million pounds (approximately RMB 289 million), setting a new record for the price of a single work by a living artist, confirming his status as the outstanding German artist with the highest rate of return in the world.

Xiao Yao believes that the artistic achievement of any of his four works is far higher than Richter's "Abstract Painting".

However, the artistic achievement of a work is not necessarily directly proportional to the price of the work. There are many factors that determine the price of a work, and the artistic achievement of the work is only one of them.

Xiao Yao is only in his 20s now, if he repeats the same work dozens of times, then the market price of this work cannot be too high, even if it is not the price of cabbage.

He is too young and has just made his mark in the art world. His personality, temperament, and creative attitude are completely unfamiliar to collectors.

"If I could only buy one of the works, then I would choose "Thunder", but the price can't be increased further. The price of 28 million US dollars is already a sky-high price. I believe that no museum will be able to buy it. You have shown greater sincerity than we have." Abraham's attitude was very firm and he would not budge an inch.

"The price is only 28 million, please forgive me for not being able to accept it. How is the painting of "Thunder"? As an expert in the industry, Mr. Abraham must be very clear. I think this price is an insult to me." Xiao Yao was as tough as ever .
