A few days later, Feng Yufei, who had been in the manor for a few days, went to New York, and the biggest thing he did when he came to New York this time was not to invest, but to participate in an auction, Sotheby's auction. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Sotheby's is the world's most famous book and art auction house, with offices in more than 40 countries and regions around the world, but there are two main auction houses, one in London and one in New York.

Half of the auction prices of many artworks in the world, especially books, come from Sotheby's, which shows its status in the industry.

This time, Feng Yu came to participate in the Sotheby's auction in New York, which is said to auction many Western artworks, including books, oil paintings, and so on. Recently, the economy has been sluggish, and many former Internet tycoons are about to go bankrupt, so their collections have to be cashed out.

Feng Yu's goal, of course, is oil painting. I want to buy it and give it to Kirilenko as a wedding gift.

In this auction, Feng Yu let Ralph know that there are several Western oil paintings, as well as works by world-class giants, such as Van Gogh and Picasso.

There are many famous painters in the history of oil painting, but the works of these two have flourished for many years, and even Feng Yu, a person who does not understand oil painting at all, has heard of these two, known as the top two oil painters and artists in modern history, and their status can be comparable to Leonardo da Vinci.

Feng Yu's psychology, to give people something, always send a work that others know and like. If you give a Chinese painting, maybe in the eyes of Chinese people, or in the eyes of some art collectors, it is worth 10,000 gold, but in Kirilenko's eyes, maybe it is similar to the New Year's paintings posted on the walls of ordinary people's homes, well, ten yuan can buy three of them.

……

"Boss, this is the album of the auction item, which has the picture of the auction item, the description, the appraisal agency and the starting price and other information, I wrote it out to you on this piece of paper, and the position of the oil painting on the album is on it."

Ralph handed Feng Yu a copy of the album and a piece of paper, Sotheby's lots, no need to worry about being fake. Sotheby's reputation is worth at least tens of billions of dollars. If it was fake, they would never dare to put it up for auction. Of course, there will be some clear notes on it, and it is impossible to determine the authenticity of the lot, so please judge by yourself.

Feng Yu began to look through the paintings according to the list, all of which were relatively expensive oil paintings. The first painting is The Massacre of the Innocent by the Dutch painter Rubens, which is about the crude behavior of human beings and the inner emotions that include massacre.

The starting price was $40 million, and Feng Yu crossed it out directly.

It's not that the price is too high, even if it's 100 million dollars, he won't be heartbroken when he gives it to Kirilenko, and the two have cooperated very happily over the years. Without Kirilenko's help, Feng Yu's initial accumulation of funds would definitely not have gone so smoothly.

It's because this painting is about slaughter and negative emotions, especially if you give such a painting to someone else as a wedding gift, isn't it a donkey kicking your brain! And this painter, Feng Yu, a turtle, has never heard of it.

The second is Brahman? Gao's self-portrait, although this guy lived in an era when there were already photos, and he also had at least three clear photos in the world, and his self-portraits, at least more than forty, but each one was so sought after.

This self-portrait Feng Yu looked at, it was blurry, and the colors were also very strange. Oh no, the appraisal agency describes the painting as not in a photographic way, but in a passionate way to express and enhance the figure through the knowledge of color and a modern taste for color.

What is this called a modern taste for color? Feng Yu can't taste it anyway, and he doesn't know how those so-called "knowing" art people taste it.

The starting price of this painting is 50 million US dollars, and Feng Yu drew a tick and kept it as an alternative. Sanskrit? Gao's name is like thunder, although he can't appreciate it, maybe Brother Ji's fiancée will like it very much.

The third is called "Still Life", and the author is Paul of France? Cézanne, Feng Yu took a look, it was a table, there were apples, onions, oranges, wine bottles, plates, tablecloths, wine glasses, table knives and other things, he didn't see any beauty, but the starting price turned out to be 42 million US dollars.

Surely this is not the painting of those beginners at the Academy of Fine Arts? Is there any difference?

And the description at the back of the painting is: This is only an apple without politics, without so-called ideas, without ambition, without impatience, without pretending to be deep! It is fresh and fragrant, authentic and palpable, true to its natural attributes, quiet and shiny. It's a particularly meaningful picture.

Feng Yu admires these people who write reviews and descriptions, this TM is an apple, which is a must-draw for beginners in oil painting. Of course, Apple has no ideology and politics, and no ambitions, can Apple still run for president of the United States?

Particularly meaningful, what does it mean? Apple next to an onion, are you sure it's fresh and fragrant to taste?

Well, Cézanne's name, Feng Yu has also heard it, draw a tick, judging from Kirilenko's artistic taste, if Feng Yu sends this painting to him, he will definitely hang it in the restaurant, well, Feng Yu also thinks it is very suitable to hang the restaurant.

Hey, there's a painting of Picasso here. Feng Yu was overjoyed, looking at the name "Woman with Arms and Breasts", and sent a beautiful painting, Brother Ji definitely liked it.

After Feng Yu flipped to the album, he had a tangled face. This Nima is called a master's painting? Is this the artist's work? Is this a work of art that everyone praises?

Nima looks more abstract than the alien in Feng Yu's mind, is it definitely not a broken painting? This kind of painting has a sense of déjà vu of a primary school student's crayon work, there is no symmetry anywhere, and the lines and their roughness make Feng Yu seriously doubt that this kind of painting was not painted by Picasso with his feet!

This kind of painting hangs in the bedroom, and Feng Yu has nightmares at night!

But thinking about Picasso's so-called abstraction, Feng Yu still gritted his teeth and hooked it, as an alternative.

followed by several famous paintings, and Feng Yu was not very satisfied. Either it's not famous enough, or the meaning is wrong. For example, that one is also Rubens's famous work, called "Beating the Baby".

What does it mean to give such a picture to someone's wedding, and tell Kirilenko: "Brother Ki, a filial son comes out from under the stick?" ”

Don't say that Kirilenko is Russian, even if he is Chinese, there are places in the northeast and northwest where there is a tradition of beating children, and if you send such a picture to someone, you will be beaten!

Feng Yu couldn't understand those manuscripts, books or something, and it is estimated that Kirilenko and his fiancée may not like it, and the price is not high.

Feng Yu was a little worried, could it be that there was a problem with his appreciation level? Or is it that these paintings were simply hyped up, hyped up by those nobles and businessmen, and used to make profits?

If art is stained with the smell of copper, it will naturally deteriorate. Feng Yu is not worried about this copper-stained smell, he is not short of money, but he wants to meet the situation.

Now it seems that the most appropriate work should be the "Still Life" work, is it really a "beginner" work? Hanging in the dining room of Brother Kei's Manor?
