Chapter 376: Sweet Alabama (Asking for a monthly pass, asking for a recommendation)
"My dear, can you explain this painting? I'm interested, it's so heavy! It's heart-wrenching to look at! It's the painter's work? It's very special!"
Betty asked curiously, pointing to Guayasamin's oil painting, still playing with the sheep fat jade mandarin duck handle.
At this time, Ye Tian and the others had already left the Terdon Courtyard Market, re-onto Highway 59, and were speeding towards Alabama!
As soon as he returned to the predator just now, Ye Tian handed over the mutton fat jade handle to Betty, and explained the beautiful meaning and value of the mandarin duck handle.
Knowing that the mandarin duck is a symbol of loyal love, Betty immediately fell in love with the opponent's handle, and after admiring it, she kept playing with it in her hand, and she couldn't put it down!
The oil painting of Guayasamine was temporarily put aside by Ye Tian, and he did not immediately explain,
He was going to leave the courtyard market in London to explain, and it wasn't too late!
In the process of explaining oil painting, you must also show your acting skills, and use a magnifying glass to do an appraisal of the results, of course, the less people know, the better.
Seeing that he bought these things, several reporters also came up to inquire or take pictures, wanting to find out, hoping that this was another major discovery! Another good piece of news!
However, Ye Tian chose to hide clumsily this time, and casually found an excuse to deal with the reporter.
He didn't tell Jason the exact answer, saying only that he might have made a discovery, and that he needed to do a careful and careful evaluation before the results could be announced.
Now that everyone has left Ter London, it's time to reveal the answer, lest Betty be tormented by this question all the time!
"Of course, dear!"
Ye Tian said with a smile and kissed Betty gently.
After finishing speaking, he immediately took the backpack next to him, took out the high-powered magnifying glass that had been prepared long ago, and then began to explain!
"This oil painting is a work of Latin American art, with obvious magical realism and some Indian culture, which is very popular in Latin America, but not in the United States!
Its subject matter is indeed very heavy, the tone is dull, giving people a feeling of pain and oppression, and you can feel the sadness when you look at the picture, which is exactly what the painter wants to express.
Considering his artistic style, expression, superb painting skills, and compassion and sympathy for the people at the bottom, I can basically identify the author of this oil painting.
It is very likely that it was written by Guayasamin, the most famous painter in Latin America, known as the 'Picasso of the Western Hemisphere', and if judged correctly, this is definitely a top work of art!"
While explaining, Ye Tian carefully took the oil painting, put it on the armrest in the middle of the back seat, and began to observe it carefully with a magnifying glass.
Of course, this action is purely superfluous, and it is completely performed for Betty to see.
"Wow! It's a top-notch work of art!"
Betty exclaimed, and then leaned over with great interest to discover the secret hidden in the painting with Ye Tian.
Half a minute later, there was a sudden cheer of excitement in the car, from Betty!
"I see it! There are two letters, with a capital letter, and the words 1956, is this the date when the author signed and created this painting?"
Ye Tian glanced at the picture under the magnifying glass again, and then pretended to be excited and said:
"That's right, my dear, I can say with great certainty that this is Guayasamin's painting! It was created in 1956, at the height of his career, and I have seen this signature at MOMA.
Since it is definitely his peak work, it must be worth a lot, and with his huge appeal in the Latin American art collecting market, it is very easy for this oil painting to sell for tens of millions of dollars!"
As soon as the words ended, there was a burst of excited cheers in the car again.
After a short celebration, Ye Tian picked up the topic just now, and continued to explain the oil painting to Betty, and also introduced the life of Guayasamin, as well as his great artistic achievements!
It wasn't until he had explained this that he carefully put away this top-notch oil painting.
This time, he did not plan to notify the people in Sotheby's Latin American Art Department to come and authenticate the acceptance, but planned to personally bring the painting back to New York and send it to the New York Autumn Auction!
Corridor 127 is only a day and a half away from closing, so there's no need to toss anymore!
And he was also very sure that with his own and Matisse's powerful force, absolutely no one would be able to threaten him, and no one would be able to loot him!
No matter what kind of bastard comes to trouble himself at this time, it will be self-defeating!
After putting away the paintings, he didn't forget to inform the rest of the people, so as to satisfy everyone's curiosity, so that these guys would not be tormented.
"Guys, that oil painting has been identified, and we can tell you unequivocally that this is a top-notch work of art, by the Latin American treasure painter Guayasamin!
Before the words fell, there was a cheer in the intercom!
"Great! Steven, you're in a league of its own! Congratulations!"
"Oh my God! More than 10 million dollars of art! That's an exaggeration! Steven, you've swept away all the most precious antiques in Hallway 127, right?"
Bingo is right!
And it's not just the most precious antique artwork, but all the little valuable leaks have been swept away by the buddies, and not a single hair has been left!
Ye Tian smiled proudly, and Betty smiled even brighter.
Waiting for the cheers to subside slightly, Ye Tian smiled and spoke again:
"One more thing, this 127 corridor treasure hunt is coming to an end, although the journey is very thrilling, but it has gained a lot, found a lot of treasures, can be called a successful treasure hunt trip.
In order to thank you for your efforts and hard work, fight side by side with me, and go through the ups and downs together, I have prepared a generous reward for everyone, everyone has it, whether you want dollars or antiques, you choose for yourself!
The rewards vary from person to person, after all, everyone joins the treasure hunt at different times, and it can't be one-size-fits-all!
There was silence in the intercom, and only the sound of heavy and rapid breathing could be heard, all of which looked like trains!
Everyone deeply understands the generosity of Ye Tian's reward, and when they heard these words at this time, their excited hearts were about to stop!
It's going to be a big profit again!, no doubt!
And it's likely to be even more rewarding than the one in Alaska, and this treasure hunt is even more dangerous, with several major battles in quick succession and longer!
Combining these factors, Steven's reward must be higher, which is a sure thing!
Especially Walker and Raymond, as well as Jason and Sophie, who have followed all the way from New York, are even more excited to dance!
They seem to have seen a lot of dollars fall from the sky and hit their heads, and what could be happier than that? It's dizzying!
After a moment's pause, a cheer of excitement immediately burst out from the four bulletproof SUVs and resounded over Highway 59.
The cheers were so loud that they even startled the police officers and many reporters who were following closely, thinking that something was going on ahead!
And Ye Tian in the marauder's car had the foresight to lower the volume early and stay away from the intercom, otherwise his ears would be deafened by these people!
The cheers soon fell, and then the overflowing words came like a tidal wave!
"Steven, thank you! You're definitely the most generous employer in the country! No matter what reward others want, buddy, all you need is dollars, and green Franklin is my true love!"
"Satisfied! Great! Steven, providing you with security is the best job I've ever done! Thank you! You're such a generous fellow!
Cole is right, Franklin is my true love, and I want dollars! Compared to antique art, I still think dollars are more tangible and concrete!"
While complimenting and thanking, everyone quickly made a choice.
Only Jason chose to ask for antique art, the rest chose the dollar in unison, and everyone was very happy with whatever they chose!
Amid laughter, four bulletproof SUVs sped forward along Highway 59 to continue the journey of conquering the few remaining corridors of Corridor 127.
For the rest of the road, the courtyard markets on both sides of the highway were very scarce, and Ye Tian never found any antique artworks that made his heart pound and worth getting out of.
All the way unimpeded!
At half past eleven, Alabama is just around the corner!
“elcome-to-Seet-home-Alabama”
The big sign in front of it has such a line of writing, which is very eye-catching! You can see it from a long distance.
And the long string of flashing police lights to the west of the sign is extremely conspicuous, as if welcoming everyone!
Seeing this scene, Ye Tian immediately laughed.
The last leg of the journey of Corridor 127 begins, and may it be just as exciting!
