Chapter 2048 The Boy Playing Polo

In the blink of an eye, the second auction had already begun.

Ye Tian picked one of the many boxes on the stage, moved it to the front of the stage, and then opened the box himself in front of the little babies in the audience, and took out the items in the box and placed them on the edge of the stage.

This is a bronze sculpture about 50 centimeters high. The theme is a young man on a horse, who is twisting his body and swinging a polo. interest.

The young man on horseback is about fourteen or fifteen years old. Judging from the outline, he is a typical European. Judging from the polo costumes he wears, he should be from the late 19th century to the early 20th century. apparel.

It can be seen that this bronze sculpture probably came from Europe in the late 19th century to the early 20th century, and it is a Western artwork with a bit of history.

As soon as it was unveiled, this bronze sculpture attracted the attention of all the little guys in front of the stage. Those little babies jumped up and down one by one, shouting that they liked this thing and wanted to buy it.

Next, Ye Tian began to show and introduce this bronze sculpture to these little ones, and even walked down the stage with this bronze sculpture, letting those little ones touch this sculpture one by one.

At the same time, a close-up shot of this sculpture also appeared on the big-screen TV at the scene, and it was shot from various angles, very detailed.

The many top collectors and antique art appraisal experts in this banquet hall quickly saw that this bronze sculpture from the West was of a high standard and it was a very good work of art.

However, everyone's understanding and research on Western artworks is not deep, and it is hard to see who made this sculpture and what its specific value is!

As for the laymen in the field of antique art collections, they are even more confused, but everyone thinks that this bronze sculpture is very good, with a sense of movement.

After all, beauty is common, as long as you use your heart, everyone can feel it.

It doesn't matter if everyone doesn't understand or understand this sculpture, isn't there still Ye Tian!

Soon, Ye Tian's personal close-up shot appeared on the big-screen TV, and he began to introduce this bronze sculpture to everyone.

"The bronze sculpture in front of you is full of youth and has a romantic tendency. It is a Western sculpture art, and it is also a treasure I found in the Saint-Ouen flea market in Paris.

When I found it in Paris, it had been dumped in the corner of a small antique shop, thick with dust and spattered with green paint, looking unaesthetically untouched for years.

Afterwards, I asked one of my men to pretend to be a tourist, go to the antique shop later in the day, accept this bronze sculpture, and then take it back to the hotel to clean it well so that it can shine again."

Hearing this, everyone in the banquet hall laughed softly.

This kid Ye Tian is not only extremely sharp-eyed, but also extremely cunning, with all kinds of tricks coming out one after another, making it impossible to guard against, who can stand up to his schemes!

Thinking of this, everyone can't help but sympathize with the owner of the antique shop in the Saint-Ouen flea market in Paris.

On the big screen at the scene, Ye Tian was still introducing this bronze sculpture, and the clear and bright voice kept coming out of the sound system, reaching the ears of everyone at the scene.

"After getting this piece of "The Boy Playing Polo\

,"I researched and appraised it carefully, and I can basically confirm that this is a sculpture by the famous French sculpture artist Anthony Buddle.

To be precise, this is an early work of Anthony Buddle's artistic career. The specific creation date should be around 1880. The romantic tendency shown in the sculpture is the best proof.

You may not know much about Antoine Bourdelle, a famous French sculpture master from the late nineteenth century to the early twentieth century, but you must know his mentor and idol.

That is Rodin, the famous French master of sculpture, who created immortal sculptures such as "The Thinker". Anthony Bourdel is one of Rodin's most outstanding students, and he is also deeply influenced by Rodin.

In fact, in the field of modern European sculpture art, Rodin and his two students, Maillol and Bourdel, are collectively called the "three pillars" of European sculpture, and have a very high status in the history of Western art.

When creating this "boy playing polo", Anthony Bourdell had not yet belonged to Rodin, and the sculpture style had not been influenced by Rodin, and his early works had a clear tendency of romanticism.

Although he has nothing to do with Rodin, his early works are also very good. When this work was created, Bourdell was just about twenty years old, at the age full of youth and passion, which is reflected in the works,..."

Following Ye Tian's explanation, the scene in the banquet hall suddenly boiled again, exclamations kept ringing out one after another, and everyone was talking about it.

"I'll go! A sapphire tiger belonging to Lu Zigang's apprentice has just been auctioned, and another piece of work by the apprentice Luo Dan, a master of Western sculpture, has just appeared. Today's public welfare auction is really awesome, and it will definitely cause a huge sensation!"

"Who hasn't heard of Rodin, that's a deafening name! As Rodin's most proud student, and listed alongside Rodin as the 'three pillars' of European sculpture, how bad can Anthony Buddle be?

There is no doubt that this buddy named Anthony must also be a top sculptor. This "Polo Boy" must be very valuable. I have to say that Xiaotian's handwriting is really scary! "

While everyone was discussing, they also took out their mobile phones and began to search for relevant information about the sculpture master Anthony Buddle on the Internet.

If you don’t check, you don’t know. If you check, you will be shocked!

Without exception, everyone was shocked by the prominent name and status of this French sculpture master, and also shocked by the auction records of his related sculptures!

When everyone checked the information and looked back at the bronze sculpture on the edge of the stage, everyone's gaze became extremely hot, and their eyes were as bright as a searchlight.

Especially those top collectors and antique art appraisal experts who were present at the scene were all envious, and even their jealous eyes were red.

At this time, they wished they could turn into three or four-year-old brats, and then ran to the edge of the stage to participate in this special auction, trying their best to win this sculpture.

At the same time, they also regretted it very much. If they had known that Ye Tian had such an arrangement and that there were so many valuable and rare antique art auctions, they should have brought their little kids!

But it's a pity that these are all wishful thinking, and they can only watch the greedy eyes at this time, and have no chance to participate in this competition at all.

Just when everyone was discussing, under the auspices of Ye Tian, ​​the auction had already kicked off.

"Little ones, the thing you see now is a sculpture from Europe with a history of more than a hundred years, and this is the item for the second auction.

If you like this sculpture, after the auction starts, you can raise your hands and compete with other children to see who can win this sculpture.

Like the lovely sapphire tiger just now, the starting price of this bronze sculpture is also one yuan, one yuan! That little baby is ready to bid? Please raise your arms! "

Before the words were finished, a dozen small arms of different lengths were already raised in the audience, and a pleasant child's voice rang out.

"I want this little copper figure on a horse, Uncle Ye Tian, ​​sell it to me, I'll give you a dollar!"

"Uncle Ye Tian, ​​I like this golden villain, it's so beautiful, can you sell it to me?"

Amidst the voices of asking prices full of coquettish taste, the competition started again among these little babies.

At the same time, the eyes of everyone on the scene were instantly attracted to watch the auction progress.

Especially the parents of these little babies, they stared at their babies closely, their hearts were in their throats, but they still had to put on a nonchalant expression on their faces.

It didn't take long for the five rounds of bidding to end.

This sculpture, "Youth Playing Polo", by the French sculptor Antoine Bourdell, was finally sold for 2,000 RMB.

A seven-year-old boy and a three-and-a-half-year-old boy took the photo of this sculpture. The two share this sculpture, and each owns half of the rights.

As for the follow-up procedures and whether there will be disputes, Ye Tian has already thought about the countermeasures.

If the parents of the two babies want to take the sculpture, they must sign a contract confirming that the family owns half of the rights, and the staff of the Beijing Notary Office will conduct on-site notarization.

It will also be clearly stated in the auction confirmation contract that this sculpture will not be stored in any of them, but will be stored in Ye Tian's vault on Financial Street.

If the two of them want to take out this sculpture, whether they take it home to enjoy in turn, or sell it, or send it to auction, they must reach a consensus before they can take out this sculpture.

The reason why Ye Tian did this was to avoid disputes and unpleasant things, and to turn a good thing into a disgusting thing.

The auction continues!

One after another, antique works of art were staged and displayed in front of everyone.

Among these antique works of art, there are traditional Chinese calligraphy and painting works of art, porcelain, and other Chinese antique works of art, as well as paintings and sculptures from the West, appearing alternately.

As these antique works of art appeared one by one, the exclamation of the scene continued to sound one after another, one after another, continuously.

The people in the banquet hall were overwhelmed by Ye Tian's generosity time and time again, so that they were amazed again and again. The scene was like a boiling pot, very lively.

And those babies who participated in the auction also gained something.

Under Ye Tian's adjustment, they either photographed an antique artwork alone, or a few people jointly photographed a favorite antique artwork. None of the little treasures returned empty-handed, and everyone was happy!

For this result, not only the little guys who participated in the bidding were very satisfied and had a great time playing, but their parents were also very satisfied, and everyone had bright smiles on their faces.

Of course, those guys who are not married, have no children, or have not brought children to the wedding banquet will inevitably have some regrets!

But it doesn't matter, the second part of the auction will be their stage.
