Soul Painter

Except for the painting "Chairman MAO".

Gao Fan saw another work he was interested in in the auction catalogue.

Descendants by Marlene Dumas.

As one of the most influential female painters in modern times, Marlene Dumas once had a relationship with Gao Fan. At the appreciation meeting held by Ms. JK, she once faced Gao Fan's "Battle Cat" Pay homage to them and call them 'gods'.

"Descendants" is a large painting of 40 centimeters by 1.5 meters. In the narrow space of the canvas, there are two human-shaped stone pillars painted in blue. Behind the red figure is a red background, from which Gao Fan reads a kind of hasty tranquility, as if it is the moment of farewell to life.

There are not many techniques in this painting, but the emotions conveyed by Marlene Dumas from it are very strong. The famous South African female writer's most famous statement is, "Art is not only used to describe beauty, it The same can be used to express ugly'.

Looking at this work, Gao Fan was suddenly inspired. He inexplicably remembered the Rubik's Cube...it was the great existence that could turn the contactee into Tetris.

The old days of expulsion.

This work should be related to "Great Existence: Rubik's Cube"...

Gao Fan looked at the introduction of this painting, which was "painted by the South African painter Marlene Dumas when she visited a relic of civilization somewhere in Africa. She thought it represented a forgotten African civilization."

interesting.

Gao Fan also has a 'Magic Cube Dye'.

Inspiration told him that if the 'Rubik's Cube Dye' is painted on this human-shaped stone pillar, it will produce interesting effects.

What effect?

For this question, inspiration can't give an answer, you have to try it yourself.

"Want this?" Lawrence glanced at it. "Well, for Marlene Dumas, it's about $7 million."

"Yes." Gao Fan nodded.

Now, the auction has not yet started, and the venue is very quiet.

Like the calm before the storm.

Gao Fan paid attention to the movement of the monk king and the angel, but there was no movement, but the blond nurse blinked at him frequently. Gao Fan had seen these three nurses in the CULA Island Nursing Home, and remembered that she was the blond one, but he didn't know what she wanted to express What.

At this time, the phone vibrated and received a text message from the operator.

The content of the text message is: "If the monk king takes pictures of "Buddha", the nine angels will definitely take action to solve the S-level pollution source in New York. Mr. Painter, please protect yourself."

'What about STK? ’ Gao Fan replied a text message.

The operator didn't reply.

Instead, the blond nurse smiled at Gao Fan.

Yeah, investigators can't team up because of the stranded law.

STK will not join forces with Nine Angels, but if Nine Angels fail to kill Qinfan, STK may take over.

Gao Fan felt a little heavy in his heart for no reason.

Intellectually, he agrees with the approach of STK and Nine Angels.

Emotionally, I don't want to let Qin Fan die like this.

Gao Fan raised his head and looked in the direction of Qin Fan, but he still only saw the shiny back of his head. He thought that Qin Fan's head must have been anointed with oil, or perhaps it was the omnipotent wish that replaced the effect of the oil... …Hopefully, no matter how strong the power of wish is, it is just a mystery of the upper race. The operator already understands her mysterious composition, and if the operator says she is sure, then she is sure.

Those who should not leave Siam, leave her 80 million followers, if there are no accidents, New York is her end...

Gao Fan looked at the back of Qin Fan's head, while the blond nurse waved goodbye to Gao Fan with a sweet smile, indicating that Gao Fan had better leave first.

Hey... Gao Fan sighed, of course he wouldn't leave, he didn't let Anna come, just to watch the excitement.

Gao Fan thought about whether to collect the body for her if Qin Fan was gone, and felt that there might be no body to collect. The only existence like Qin Fan, after death, was condensed due to his great qualities, becoming a command spell and an old seal What, and then be taken in by various organizations.

...

The auction has started.

Soon, the auction proceeded to the first work that Gao Fan wanted, "Chairman MAO". After 15 bids, Lawrence finally bought this work at a price of 16.5 million US dollars.

This was the first climax of this auction, and the auction guests applauded Lawrence lightly.

Afterwards, Monterian's works and Modigliani's works were auctioned at high prices of 75 million US dollars and 113 million US dollars respectively. The auction has gone through nearly two hours. During this process, Lawrence found time to spend 6.85 million US dollars Bought Marlene Dumas' "The Descendants" for the same price.

After finishing the auction of Modigliani's "Lady on the Side", the guests in the venue began to look forward to it, and everyone turned their attention to the monk sitting in the first row, who came for "Buddha". A head of state will occasionally glance at the painter himself sitting in the last row.

The atmosphere has been heightened to this point.

The real protagonist of today's auction will be on the stage.

The auctioneer stood on the stage and looked around the venue, his voice was inevitably a little excited. After all, the works that will be auctioned next are also the high-priced items that Christie's has never had before.

"The next auction will be the auction of Mr. Gao Fan, the founder of Devil School and the most valuable contemporary artist. According to Mr. Painter's request, this will be a connected auction of three works. These three works are respectively They are "Veteran", "Ring Arena" and "Buddha", all of which are from Mr. Gao Fan's 'The strongest' painting exhibition, and the themes of the three works are closely related to the current form of human civilization..."

Rarely, Christie's arranged an in-depth analysis of the painter's works, presumably to introduce them to some non-professional collectors on site.

Christie's knows that for professional collectors and art consultants, this price is just... well, it's a bit too much to say 'joke', and it's better to change it to 'the unbearable weight of life and career'.

After a lengthy introduction.

The auctioneer is about to step down.

Before stepping down, he said: "The next auction will be conducted by an auctioneer we specially invited, please..."

When this link is going on on stage.

Gao Fan was whispering to Lu Zhi: "If something really happens, you can take me and Mr. Manager away."

While talking, Gao Fan gestured, probably to let Lu Zhi grab one with each hand, and quickly escaped from this dangerous scene, because following the auctioneer's introduction, the atmosphere in the venue suddenly became tense, and the people sitting in the front row The monk king and the angel sitting in the middle are like two whirlpools, stirring up a boiling danger.

It was the blond-haired nurse lady who quietly left the auction site, presumably to prepare a sumptuous 'dinner' for Monk King.

"Hmm... um?" Lu Zhi nodded.

She was lowering her head, but suddenly her expression changed. When she looked up in surprise, she saw that on the auction stage, after the auctioneer had left, a handsome middle-aged man had already entered the stage. A believable sincerity, when he looks at you, you will even smile unconsciously.

"Dad..." Lu Zhi lost his voice.

ah? Gao Fan reacted for a while, and then realized that Lu Zhi was not calling him, so he looked up and followed Lu Zhi's gaze, and saw Lu Zhi's father, Lu Tiaoyang.

Lu Tiaoyang stood there with an auction hammer, and said, "I am entrusted by the government of the beautiful country to host this auction. I would like to remind everyone that during this auction, any attack Sexual behavior is regarded as a provocation to the beautiful country. In addition, let me tell you quietly that the entire venue was arranged by myself~"

Ordinary people don't understand the meaning of the last sentence of this auctioneer who has never seen it before, but Luc Villiers knows that he knows the code name of the STK in front of him.

'Master of Installation'.

He glanced down at the pocket watch in his hand.

The second hand on the pocket watch is jumping forward with difficulty, but every time it jumps, it will move back one frame, that is to say, the second hand stops in place and cannot move, just like the mystery of Luc Villiers falling into the swamp.

In the venue arranged by the "installation master", everyone is his puppet.
