Treasure Hunt all over the World

After the laughter subsided, Ye Tian continued to say:

"After introducing the painter Suzanne, let's talk about this oil painting. Everything shown in this oil painting accurately reflects Suzanne's painting style, which is fanatical and full of passion.

Suzanne paints like a madman, and she draws sketches not to be matched with beautiful frames, but to capture moments of turbulent, tense lives.

She paints without any creativity, always curiously and precisely trying to put the human form into her brushwork which is hard and even sharp, but always ingenious and harmonious.

Although her painting techniques are a bit blunt, her expressions are bright and powerful. She is a rare painter with a unique style of masculinity that dominates all feelings with will.

Suzanne does not admit to having any teachers, indeed she has nothing in common with all the great painters who modeled on her, except that she has been inspired by Gauguin's techniques.

It's a pity that although Suzanne's paintings have a good reputation in the critical circles, they don't sell well, and even sell for only three francs a piece for a while, while her son's paintings always fetch sky-high prices,..."

While explaining, Ye Tian had turned on the perspective, admiring the secrets hidden behind this painting, and a gleam of joy flashed in his eyes from time to time.

Under Susanna's oil painting, there is a slightly smaller oil painting hidden, which is stretched on a solid wood drawing board, and is perfectly covered by Susanna's oil painting.

There is a layer of white cloth between the two oil paintings, separating the two paintings, no flaws can be seen from the surface!

The hidden oil painting is an outstanding painting of Gauguin's peak period, and it is also an undoubted top art work, worth at least 25 million US dollars!

And this is the real reason why Ye Tian stopped in front of Susanna's oil painting for a long time!

The first moment he walked into this gallery, Ye Tian saw this oil painting at a glance. The nearly twenty layers of charming halos on Gauguin's painting made his eyes dizzy!

Although Suzanne's painting is not bad, the author's signature clearly visible in the lower right corner of the painting has eliminated all possibilities of leaking!

Regarding this point, not only Ye Tian knows, but the owner of the gallery is also like a bright mirror in his heart!

But there is something else under Suzanne's oil painting, that's another matter. There is no doubt that this is another shocking leak, enough to cause quite a shock!

If it weren't for the hidden Gauguin paintings,

Ye Tian had already walked away, how could he have the heart to stay here for so long.

Who is Gauguin? As I said before, he is one of the three famous masters of post-impressionism and one of Suzanne's former lovers.

From this point of view, it is quite normal for Suzanne to own Gauguin's paintings!

What's more, in the outstanding painting of Gauguin in Ye Tian's eyes, the figure in the painting is the dancing Suzanne Valadon, maybe it is Gauguin's token of love for Suzanne!

After thoroughly seeing through the two paintings inside and outside, Ye Tian then withdrew his gaze and ended the perspective.

After explaining this Suzanne's painting and appreciating it quietly for a while, Ye Tian turned his head to look at the gallery owner, and asked with a smile:

"Mr. Albert, what is the price of this Suzanne oil painting? I have only seen Suzanne's paintings in museums before, but I have never seen them in the market!

Now that I come across a painting of Susanna this time, I don't want to miss it. If the price is reasonable, I intend to accept this oil painting of Susanna! "

Hearing this, the gallery owner Albert did not immediately offer a quotation, but walked over and glanced suspiciously at the painting of Suzanne!

It's a pity that he has studied that oil painting many times, and he didn't find any abnormalities before, so it's the same now, everything is the same!

After withdrawing his gaze, Albert thought for a while, and then offered the oil painting a quotation.

"One hundred and fifty thousand euros, Mr. Steven, if you can accept this price, this painting of Suzanne belongs to you"

Ye Tian shook his head lightly, and immediately returned an offer.

"The price is too high for me to accept. Although Suzanne is a celebrity in the history of modern art, it is because of her ambiguous relationship with many great artists.

As a painter, whether it was during her lifetime or after her death, the antique art market didn't like her works very much. The price of Suzanne's paintings has never risen!

I am a businessman, not a collector of antique art at any cost. For me, this is a business. Since it is a business, of course it must follow the market value!

One hundred and twenty thousand euros! This is my quotation. Based on my understanding of the market situation of Suzanne's paintings, this is already a very rare high price. I wonder if you can accept it? "

After speaking, Ye Tian looked at Albert with a smile on his face, waiting for the other party to make a decision.

Albert was silent, and began to think and consider.

As a gallery owner, he certainly understands the market conditions of Suzanne's paintings, and he also knows that Ye Tian is right, 120,000 euros is indeed a very good price, very tempting!

But, who thinks money is hot? Of course Albert is no exception!

Albert quickly raised his head, looked at Ye Tian, ​​and tentatively quoted a new price.

"One hundred and thirty thousand euros! Steven, this is the lowest price I can accept. For a super rich man like you, ten thousand euros is just a drop in the bucket, but it means a lot to us!"

When he said these words, he looked at Ye Tian with full expectation, expecting to hear the most pleasant answer.

After pondering for a while, Ye Tian smiled and nodded, and extended his right hand to Albert.

"Okay, Mr. Albert, the transaction is worth 130,000 euros. Although this price is a bit high, it is not easy to meet a painting of Suzanne. I am willing to accept this price!"

"Excellent, Mr. Steven, deal, you are a generous chap!"

Albert said excitedly, and shook Ye Tian's right hand vigorously.

Deal done! The priceless Gauguin painting was successfully obtained, it is as if it was picked up for nothing!

Cheering secretly, Ye Tian smiled and said:

"Albert, I don't know which method you like to use for receiving money, bank check or transfer? I can do it as you like, and now I can pay for the goods, money and goods!

You also know that I am not French, and I want to bring this oil painting back to New York. In order to avoid unnecessary troubles, I need you to issue some certificates to pass through French customs!

It can be seen that this oil painting should always be in the hands of connoisseurs, at least in the hands of art lovers who understand painting. The whole painting is very well preserved, which is commendable!

Let’s talk about the oil paint on the canvas first. I can’t see any wrinkling and cracking. The humidity is very good. Although the frame is nearly a hundred years old, there is no crack!

Next, we will stay in Europe for a while. For the convenience of carrying, I am going to take the canvas off the solid wood drawing board, put it in a telescopic painting tube, and disassemble the frame!

After the transaction is completed, I need you to provide some tools for me to disassemble the frame and remove the canvas on the spot. Of course, you also need to provide a telescopic painting tube and a box!

From the beginning of the transaction until I finally take off the canvas, we shoot video, you know, I'm not very popular in France, so maybe it will save some trouble! "

When he said these words, Ye Tian's expression was very calm, and he couldn't see anything abnormal.

Although he could bring the painting back to New York first, and then take out the Gauguin masterpiece hidden under Suzanne's oil painting, and make a fortune!

But considering the value of Gauguin's paintings, if such a top art is to be publicly traded in the art market and fetch sky-high prices, the origin must be clear and can stand scrutiny!

If not, it is likely to cause some troubles, and even attract others' coveting!

That's why he planned to open the frame of the picture here in front of Albert. That priceless Gauguin masterpiece is naturally a surprising windfall!

Thus, such an understanding can also be formed in the eyes of other people!

The reason why Ye Tian was able to harvest this outstanding painting of Gauguin can only be attributed to his overwhelming luck, God always stood with him, other than that, there is no other explanation!

After such an operation, no one will be able to question the origin of this painting, and there will be no obstacles in sending this post-impressionist masterpiece to top auctions in the future!

Of course, the result of doing this will inevitably make Albert extremely painful. If he regrets, he just wants to jump the Seine River, and he will hate Ye Tian to the point of gnashing his steel teeth!

However, Ye Tian would not care about his feelings.

In Ye Tian's view, there are a sea of ​​people who hate him, one more is not too many, and one less is quite a lot, who can bite me?

Besides, even if this outstanding painting of Gauguin passed by himself, it would fall into the hands of other tourists or collectors, and it would not belong to Albert!

If Albert was able to discover this painting, it would not be possible to put it until now!

Something will occur if it belongs to your life, if not, do not push it! Definitely a wise saying!

"Bank transfer, Steven, it's more convenient and quicker. As for the tools you mentioned to remove the picture frame and the telescopic painting tube, there is no problem. I have plenty here!

I have to say that you are very thoughtful. This oil painting of Susanna is not small. It is really inconvenient to carry the frame with you. It is obviously more appropriate to carry it with a painting tube!

After we finish this art transaction, I will ask the clerk to get the tool to remove the frame, let's start the transaction, and I will issue you the relevant certificate of this oil painting right away! "

Albert nodded excitedly, with a bright smile on his face.

Ye Tian shook his head slightly, pointed to a landscape oil painting next to him and said:

"Don't worry, Albert. The painting depicting the scenery of Fontainebleau looks pretty good. I intend to keep it in my pocket as a souvenir of my trip to Fontainebleau Forest!"

What he was referring to was a hyperrealistic landscape painting that looked like a photograph, by a French painter in the 1960s and 1970s!

That French painter is also quite well-known, and the price of his paintings in the market is generally around 50,000 to 60,000 euros, and the most expensive painting does not exceed 200,000 euros!

The reason why Ye Tian wanted to buy that landscape painting was not because he liked hyperrealism or that French painter, but because he wanted to use that painting as a cover to avoid suspicion!
