Treasure Hunt all over the World

Calmet looked at the lyrical abstraction painting again, and suspicion flashed again in his eyes.

The thoughts just now resurfaced in his mind again, making him fall into a dilemma of hesitation.

Ye Tian looked at him with a smile on his face, waiting for Calmet to make a decision, and he acted very relaxed.

After confirming that the painting was in the style of lyrical abstraction, and then seeing the content of that painting, some onlookers who thought they were knowledgeable lost interest in that painting!

As for those who have little knowledge of painting art and Western art history, they all looked at the painting and the excitement curiously, without knowing the mystery of it.

After pondering for a moment, Calmet looked up at Ye Tian and said:

"Steven, these two paintings can be sold as a bundle, but the price is not 5,000 euros, but 6,000 euros. I wonder if you can accept it? If you can accept it, then we can sell it now"

However, Ye Tian changed the subject at this time, and did not immediately finalize the art deal.

"Calmet, can you tell me about the origin of this painting? Why do you have a painting of lyrical abstraction in your hand? I'm curious!"

"Okay, Steven, as I said before, I am not only a professional painter, but also an art dealer, and this is a painting I received!

The original owner of this painting was a retired old man who came to Nice to enjoy his old age. At the beginning of the year, the old man passed away and left some relics.

The painting in front of me is one of the relics. When the old man’s family was dealing with the relics, they sold this painting to me. The source is legal and there is no problem! "

Calmet explained a few words, which sounded reasonable.

As long as the origin is legal, or if there is such an explanation, it is good!

"In this case, there is no problem, six thousand euros, deal! Calmet, I want these two paintings!"

Ye Tian smiled and nodded, and stretched out his right hand.

Calmet took a deep look at Ye Tian, ​​then at his rock-like right hand, then gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and shook hands with Ye Tian directly to conclude the deal.

"Okay, Steven, the deal is 6,000 euros. These two paintings belong to you. Congratulations, you have harvested two good works of art!"

"I also want to congratulate you, Calmet, for making this deal, your income must be very good!"

Ye Tian said politely, but his heart was already full of joy.

Next, Ye Tian took out his wallet and took out 6,000 euros from it, and handed it to Calmet, completing the art transaction.

At the same time as the payment, he did not forget to ask Calmet to issue a certificate, which was witnessed by Antoine on the spot, so as to avoid being made things difficult by the customs when he passed through the French customs with the two paintings.

After going through all the procedures, Ye Tian shook hands with Calmet again, and was about to leave and go to the next antique stall.

At this moment, Calmet asked curiously:

"Steven, can you tell me about your conclusion on that lyrical abstract painting? I don't quite understand why you bought that painting? Is there any mystery in it?"

Ye Tian glanced at the Nice painter, then shook his head with a smile and said:

"Calmet, since you have successfully sold these two paintings,

Then it's better to put them away completely and stop entangled, it will not do any good, it will only destroy your mood.

The most important thing you should do right now is to enjoy the joy of a successful transaction. Although I have some opinions about this lyrical abstract painting, I am not sure.

Whether my opinion is correct or not needs further identification and verification, everything is unknown, so let’s stop here, Calmet, I wish you a good and happy day! "

After finishing speaking, Ye Tian took the two paintings and Betty, turned around and walked to the next antique booth, ready to continue the treasure hunt.

As for Calmet, who stayed where he was, his face was a little pale, and there was a bit of regret in his eyes!

At this time, although he had an extra six thousand euros in his pocket, he couldn't be happier.

He had a very bad feeling that just now, he was probably ransacked by that bastard Steven, missing a top piece of art and the greatest fortune in his life!

However, no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't figure out where the value of that lyrical abstraction painting was reflected!

The goods on the second antique booth are lackluster, mostly handicrafts, and some worthless antiques, which are not worth stopping to admire, let alone selling!

Ye Tian took a quick glance at the goods on the booth, and then led Betty out to the next booth.

Until this time, Betty finally couldn't hold back her strong curiosity, and asked in a low voice:

"Honey, if I'm not mistaken, this lyrical abstraction painting must be a top-notch work of art, right? Which master artist is it, and how much is it worth? Tell me quickly."

Ye Tian turned to look at his curious wife, then nodded with a smile.

"That's right, this lyrical abstraction painting is indeed a top-notch work of art, regardless of its artistic value or market value, it is extraordinary and refined, a rare find!

According to my preliminary identification, this is probably the painting of Kandinsky, the founder of abstract art and the famous Russian painter. It is a work at the peak of his art in his later years.

If my appraisal conclusion is correct, based on the market price of Kandinsky's works at his peak, the value of this lyrical abstract painting should not be less than $10 million.

Of course, my appraisal conclusion needs to be further verified, and I will conduct another appraisal when I return to New York, but no matter what the result is, I like this painting very much”

Having said that, Ye Tian is extremely sure about his appraisal conclusion, and it is impossible to make mistakes!

There is no doubt that this is an outstanding painting by the master artist Kandinsky. It is a veritable top-level artwork and is invaluable!

The ten or twenty charming halos on this painting are the most perfect and accurate proof.

Just as he walked to the entrance of the antique bazaar, Ye Tian spotted the painting at a glance and made an accurate judgment.

That's why he went to Calmet's painting booth, performed a good show, and successfully won the painting!

As for the realistic landscape painting depicting the beauty of Angel Bay, it's just a cover and worthless!

"Wow! It's a top-notch artwork with tens of millions of dollars, and it's an outstanding work by the master artist Kandinsky. It's crazy!"

Betty exclaimed directly in a low voice, almost dancing with excitement.

Not only her, but also Taylor, Lisa, and Antoine who were beside them were so excited when they heard Ye Tian's words, they almost cheered.

For the appraisal conclusion given by Ye Tian, ​​they didn't have any doubts at all, but they believed it very firmly!

When did Steven look away? Not once, and this time is no exception!

After exclaiming, Betty lowered her voice curiously and asked:

"Since it is a painting by the master artist Kandinsky, how could Calmet not recognize it? He is also a professional painter and an antique dealer, so he should have a certain appreciation ability!"

Ye Tian slowed down his pace, turned his head to look at Betty, then at Taylor and the others, then explained with a smile in a low voice:

"Not only Calmet, but most of the experts in the identification of antique works of art in the world may not be able to identify it. The situation of this painting is very special because it is a painting of lyrical abstraction.

There are many abstract art masters, including Kandinsky, Mondrian, Malevich, etc., but when it comes to lyrical abstract art, the real art master is only Kandinsky.

Kandinsky's artistic style was very changeable throughout his life, and he experienced Impressionism, New Decoration Movement, Bauhaus Movement, Abstractionism, and Expressionism and other artistic styles.

In his later years, it was another peak period of Kandinsky's artistic career. He created lyrical abstract painting, that is, Kandinskyism, and caused a huge sensation.

Because there is only such a master of lyrical abstraction, when one finds a good lyrical abstraction painting, people will naturally think, is this Kandinsky's work?

If it is verified that it is Kandinsky's painting, it will naturally double its value and cause a sensation; if it is not verified as his work, then the value of this painting need not be mentioned.

After Kandinsky moved to France from Germany in 1933, he has been living in Paris. No one knows whether he has ever been to Nice and painted such an outstanding painting here.

Because of this, Calmet and many other experts in the identification of antique works of art will make a mistake, thinking that this is not a painting by Kandinsky, but just an imitation, of average value!

Facts have proved that Kandinsky has not only been to Nice, but also created a very outstanding painting here. As a creator of beauty, how could he be willing to miss the beauty of Nice!

Coincidentally, the day before we left New York, I spent four or five hours at the Guggenheim Museum, which is the largest collector of Kandinsky's works!

In the Guggenheim Museum in New York, I saw a lot of Kandinsky's paintings, one or two of which were very close to the one in front of me, so I thought it was Kandinsky's work"

These remarks are reasonable and impeccable. No one can find out the loopholes and thus feel suspicious.

Looking at Betty and the others again, they were almost dumbfounded. Everyone nodded frequently, their eyes full of admiration and envy!

Next, Ye Tian explained a few more words before ending the topic.

Wait for everyone to calm down a little. Only then did Ye Tian lead everyone forward, and continued to sweep the largest antique fair in southern France, sweeping through wealth crazily!
