Treasure Hunt all over the World

The sale of 'Impressionism and Modern Art' is coming to an end.

The auction of the last lot, "The Boy in Red" has reached the final stage, and the results will be announced soon!

Like the previous auction scene of "Mont Sainte-Victoire", "The Boy in Red" is now on display for everyone to appreciate.

The detailed pictures of this oil painting and other related information are simultaneously displayed on the big screen, which is very detailed enough for people to have a more comprehensive understanding of this top oil painting.

On the auction stage, an FBI armed special agent and a Sotheby's armed security guard stood on both sides of the display stand, guarding this top oil painting with extreme vigilance.

The rest of the security personnel in the hall are also on high alert, staring at the top oil paintings on the auction table and the large number of bidders at the scene, ready to respond at any time.

All the bidders at the scene stood in place, excitedly watching the thrilling and extremely fierce price battle taking place in front of them, fascinated!

Although this has nothing to do with the vast majority of people, they are just bystanders!

Shouts of exclamation, applause, and discussions kept ringing out in the auction hall, each time getting louder and louder, almost lifting the ceiling here!

Everyone's excited eyes lit up, staring at everything that happened in front of them, not letting go of any details.

I am witnessing history and a rare miracle in the history of world art auctions! Everyone in the auction hall was pretty sure of that.

The difference is that John loudly quoted different prices! Competitors are different! The bidding intensity is also different!

The auction price of "The Boy in the Red Vest" is higher, and there are more competitors in the final stage, and the competition among them is more intense!

At this time, the asking price of "The Boy in the Red Vest" has reached as high as 182 million US dollars, surpassing "Mont Sainte-Victoire", and successfully ranked third in the world's art auction history!

There are only three parties left to compete for this top oil painting, and each party is extremely powerful!

The richest man in Mexico, Carlos Slam; the largest buyer in the world's top art market, the royal family of Qatar; and a mysterious buyer who bid by phone! It must be of extraordinary origin!

After a burst of warm applause, discussions erupted in the auction hall.

Everyone was discussing what was happening in front of them with great enthusiasm and interest.

"This special auction is too exaggerated! Two top oil paintings with the third and fourth highest prices in art auction history actually appeared in the same auction! And they are owned by the same person! It's unbelievable!"

"If I hadn't witnessed it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that such a thing would have happened! It's like a fantasy! But it's the truth, that bastard Steven is God's favorite! There is no doubt about it!"

Ye Tian and Jason, who were standing in the first row of the auction hall, were flushed with excitement, their eyes were shining brightly, they were staring at the situation on the auction stage, and they were unwilling to blink!

They were also discussing in low voices, their eyebrows flying all over the sky!

"Steven, can this "Boy in a Red Vest" surpass "The Card Players" and take the second place in the history of world art auctions?

Or go a step further, can it surpass Gauguin's "When Will You Get Married" and win the world's number one throne? If you can, it's perfect! "

Jason asked excitedly and nervously, this kid obviously has great ambitions!

The price has soared to this point, and the throne of the world's number one is not uncoveted, that is indeed the most perfect result!

Although this oil painting does not belong to Jason, he is also honored!

"I don't know, I'm very satisfied with the current price! Whatever the next price trend is, just let it go! Of course, I also hope to get even bigger surprises!"

Ye Tian smiled and said in a low voice,

It's rare to be humble!

Indeed, he couldn't be more satisfied with the auction results and process of these two top oil paintings! I dare not ask for more!

The current auction price alone has more than doubled his estimate!

Moreover, "The Boy in the Red Vest" has not yet been sold with the hammer, and the price is still soaring upwards, creating even greater miracles. Everything is possible!

What I can do now is to enjoy the joy of success to the fullest, wait for the moment when the hammer hits the deal, and then celebrate with joy!

"No. 203 should be priced at 182 million dollars, from the mysterious buyer who bid on the phone, the current price is 187 million dollars, 187 million dollars, the lady or gentleman should bid ?..."

John raised his hand to gesture towards the phone bidding, and continued to shout with passion.

At this moment, his eyes were only fixed in two directions, and he no longer paid attention to other places at all.

One is where Carlos Art Collection Consultant is located, and the other is where Prince Hassan and Princess Mayassa are located.

There are only these two parties remaining on the scene, and the other competitors have been cleared out!

Carlos' art collection consultant chuckled and shook his head, put away the bidding number plate, and announced his withdrawal from the competition!

Apparently, the richest man in Mexico was already satisfied with receiving a piece of "San Victor Mountain", and he didn't want to get all the two top oil paintings in one go and get them all in his pocket!

Seeing the withdrawal of the most threatening competitor, Princess Mayassa couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief.

Then, immediately, she whispered to Prince Hassan:

"Hassan, the asking price is 190 million US dollars, and there is only one competitor left. We must win this top oil painting, and we must not lose to the guy who bid on the phone!

Don't know who this guy is? French Bernard? Or Russian Abu? Or the super rich man in China? No matter who it is, he will return home today! "

"That's right! This top oil painting belongs to our Qatari royal family! No one can take it away!"

Hassan replied in a deep voice, his tone extremely confident!

Immediately afterwards, he immediately raised the bidding number plate in his hand and shouted loudly:

"$190 million, John!"

"clap clap"

The applause sounded again, warm and lasting.

Then, there were exclamations throughout the audience!

"Wow! It's about to break through $200 million, it's a sure thing!"

"More than 200 million US dollars of art, only two have appeared at auction before, there is no doubt that today will appear a third, this is really a crazy day!"

As everyone expected, "The Boy in the Red Vest" quickly broke through the $200 million mark and jumped to another higher level!

It was the mysterious buyer who called to bid for the price!

When the asking price of 200 million US dollars came, there was a burst of applause like a tsunami in the auction hall, which was as hot as a volcanic eruption!

At the same time, there were countless cheers.

Many people in the auction hall burst into bright smiles! All celebrating!

Everyone is celebrating that they have witnessed the miracle in the auction history and experienced the great charm of art! Many people are even proud of it! Congrats on being there!

Of course, the craziest and presumptuous celebration was still the owner of this top oil painting, Ye Tian!

He and Jason first gave a loud high-five, and then laughed out loud. The laughter was so hearty that many people at the scene had red eyes with envy, and wished they could replace it!

$200 million top artwork! There are only three pieces in the history of world art auctions!

Even counting the private art transactions, such as de Kooning's "Exchange" worth US$300 million, Pollock's "17a" worth US$200 million, etc., there are no more than 10 works worth more than US$200 million.

Without exception, these works of art are all from the hands of top artists, and they are well-deserved top-level works of art, worthy of the warmest applause and the most sincere cheers!

Applause and cheers soon fell, and the competition continued.

The auction price of "The Boy in the Red Vest" is still rising rapidly, unstoppable!

Everyone is looking forward to the miracles that will continue to be staged, looking forward to this top oil painting going forward bravely, breaking through the two mountains in front of it in one fell swoop, and winning the world's number one throne in the auction history!

However, not everything goes as planned! Everyone's expectations fell through!

When the price of the painting soared to $255 million, the mysterious buyer who bid on the phone began to hesitate, and did not give instructions for a long time.

In the end, he chose to give up and quit this exciting and fierce competition!

The Sotheby's staff who answered the phone shook their heads slightly, announcing the end of the auction.

"Hey!"

There was a sound of sighing in the auction hall, everyone was lamenting that the miracle could not continue, so it stopped!

Sorry it's just a moment!

In a blink of an eye, everyone realized that they were very lucky to have witnessed a great and almost impossible to replicate miracle in the history of world art auctions!

In a special art auction, two top oil paintings were actually sold, one for 180 million US dollars and the other for 255 million US dollars! Ranked third and fourth in auction history! This is a miracle!

Moreover, these two top oil paintings are from the same artist, they are works of French post-impressionist painting master Paul Cézanne!

According to the latest world art auction transaction records, among the top five works of art, three are his oil paintings, which is unbelievable!

There is no doubt that the current Paul Cézanne is the top artist with the most market appeal in the world!

Regarding this point, the market has already given the best answer, and no one can doubt it!

More importantly, these two top artworks belong to the same person, that crazy guy Steven!

Although these two oil paintings only rank third or fourth in the auction records of artworks, their combined total price is as high as 435 million US dollars, which is a well-deserved number one in the auction history in the world!

Of course, there is still a gap between this and hedge fund manager Griffin's $500 million art deal, but it was a private transaction and not comparable!

$435 million! What a great fortune! It has been confirmed that it belongs to that bastard Steven!

Thinking of this, everyone in the auction hall couldn't help but look to the first row, to that extremely lucky guy!

Everyone's eyes are full of envy and jealousy, and many eyes are already flushed!

Ye Tian, ​​who was in the focus of people's attention, first nodded to Prince Hassan and Princess Mayassa, and then began to celebrate!

"Amazing! $435 million, I love Paul Cézanne! I love the royal family of Qatar! I love the damn dollar! I love the perfect day! Cool!"

Ye Tian raised his arms and cheered, his voice resounding throughout the auction hall.

Fortunately, no one can understand the Chinese he speaks. Besides, what does it matter if he understands it or not?

From his extremely flamboyant movements and expressions, as well as his bright smile, everyone can clearly feel his excitement, but it's a pity that that person is not me!

Jason standing next to him hadn't recovered yet, still immersed in the huge shock brought by the 255 million US dollars, his face was dull, and his eyes were full of incredible and crazy colors!

"clap clap"

Applause broke out loudly, and like a storm, it swept the entire auction hall in an instant.

The auction procedure had to be temporarily interrupted. John couldn't find the opportunity to drop the hammer to close the deal. The scene was too hot and noisy, and his voice was completely drowned out!

It wasn't until two or three minutes later that the auction hall became a little quieter.

John's countdown voice came immediately, with a bit of trembling, reaching everyone's ears.

"US$260 million for the first time, second time, sold! US$255 million sold! The winning bidder is Princess Mayassa of the royal family of Qatar. Congratulations to Princess Mayassa and Mr. Steven!"

While announcing the result loudly, John stretched out his hand and gestured towards Princess Mayassa, then nodded at Ye Tian, ​​eyes full of gratitude and envy! ) Download Free Reader!!
