Both paintings are related to the same buyer. If there is nothing wrong with it, Chen Wenzhe would never believe it.
However, there is no need for him to pursue this kind of thing. As long as the thing is not stolen, he can buy it.
If he remembered correctly, the copy of "2008-Shendu" was auctioned for 20 million, and the final transaction price after commission was 28 million?
The total price of the two paintings reached 86 million. It is definitely not an accident that two paintings with such high prices appear here at the same time. Now I just hope that they are not stolen goods!
The transaction that took place more than ten years ago is not that long ago. If most people get these two paintings, they will definitely treasure them.
So, this is probably not the two paintings that were auctioned at that time?
Chen Wenzhe felt that this was unlikely, so he directly identified it as genuine.
"Xu Beihong's "Portrait of Miss Jenny" is authentic!"
"If the identification is correct, the achievement value will be increased by one!"
"Liu Yi's "2008-Shendu" is authentic!"
"If the identification is correct, the achievement value will be increased by one!"
Both are correct, but what about the different descriptions?
Chen Wenzhe's mind was quick and he quickly thought of a possibility.
You know, these two works are both modern and contemporary. Is it possible that the author actually painted two of them?
Let’s talk about Miss Jenny’s portrait first. This seems to have been hidden in the Lijiapo National Museum of Art?
How did you come to the country? Was it auctioned in the capital city of Shenzhou? Finally, you fell into exile in Chang'an and appeared in front of him?
"Xu Beihong's "Portrait of Miss Jenny" is an authentic original from the Lijiapo Museum!"
"Identification error!"
Sure enough, it is wrong to say this. Therefore, this is the authentic work of Mr. Xu Beihong, not the work of Li Jiapo.
Chen Wenzhe glanced at the old man in front of him. I'm afraid Qi Hongxing was deliberately guiding him!
Wouldn't he know about these two famous paintings?
"Mr. Qi, how did you get these two paintings? It is indeed possible that they came to Chang'an, but it is absolutely impossible for them to fall into your hands."
Feeling confused, Chen Wenzhe asked directly.
This is the easiest, because after asking, he can check the information.
"Hey, it should be a replica. I also got it by accident. I collected it from two warehouses and pulled it out from the warehouse. I didn't expect that there were such two paintings inside. I also asked about it and found that the original works are still in the hands of the original owner.
!”
Chen Wenzhe smiled, that's right.
However, he was certain that both paintings were authentic.
Moreover, this "2008-Shendu" seems to be the first work painted by the author, but what is being auctioned is the second work he revised.
Of course, this is not the information he looked for, but the real situation he saw through the backtracking skill.
Who would have thought that the author painted two paintings at that time?
Moreover, these two paintings are both masterpieces.
Generally speaking, when an artist paints, even if it is the same artist and the same painting, because of the different efforts put into it, the effect of the painting will definitely be different.
But for this "2008-Shendu", the artist created two works around this theme at that time.
Both were created in 2006, with the same general effect, but with many detailed changes.
Famously, it was the second painting that was auctioned.
What Chen Wenzhe is looking at now is the first painting. Needless to say, this one must be authentic.
After watching the end, Chen Wenzhe realized that it was really not an accident that these two paintings appeared here.
This was a big move that someone had planned for a long time. They wanted to replace the two paintings that had flowed into Chang'an.
Therefore, they carefully searched for these two oil paintings and planned to find a suitable opportunity to enter the treasure hoarder's home and commit theft.
Unfortunately, before they had time to take action, they were arrested by the Chang'an police.
These two oil paintings had been hidden in a warehouse. In the end, somehow, Qi Hongxing, who got the news, received them.
The same painting has a different fate, just because the other two paintings are so famous, these two genuine paintings have become high imitations and fakes.
Moreover, someone deliberately searched for him and wanted to use him as a civet cat to exchange for the prince!
Little did they know that the person they were looking for was also a prince living among the people!
"How much does Mr. Qi plan to sell for? I like these two paintings very much!"
Didn't you just bring him in to sell him something?
Now that Chen Wenzhe has spoken, let’s see what price Qi Hongxing can offer!
"The imitations of these two works are good, and they are both large in size. I don't want more. Each one is 50,000 yuan. The price shouldn't be high, right?"
Qi Hongxing's eyes were shining with an indescribable light, and he seemed not afraid to scare Chen Wenzhe away by offering such a high price.
"Well, the size is not small, and the imitation is also very good. The price is not expensive, but it is not cheap either. Just spit it out again and give it a little bit, and I will take it."
This time, Chen Wenzhe was more honest. After all, he got an advantage. The price was not expensive anyway.
Qi Hongxing hesitated a little. He really didn't expect Chen Wenzhe to be so cheerful.
The price of 100,000 yuan is not too expensive?
He opened his mouth slightly, wanting to hold on to the price, but looking at Chen Wenzhe who was smiling but not smiling, Qi Hongxing still didn't have the confidence.
A modern imitation can sell for 50,000 yuan, which is really not a low price.
"Ninety-eight thousand, these two paintings take up too much space. Otherwise, I really don't want to sell them at a low price. If I keep them in my hands for a few more years, the price may be even higher. After all, they are high imitations.
"
"Maybe, if the time goes a little longer, maybe we can distinguish the fake from the real!"
Chen Wenzhe smiled and continued: "Okay, just ninety-eight thousand, I want these two paintings."
The next step is the transaction. Chen Wenzhe must sign a contract, and he also needs to arrange for someone to transport it back to Dahai City.
Oil paintings are not as easy to carry as calligraphy and painting scrolls, so a professional transportation company must be arranged to transport them. Qi Hongxing needs help for these.
After all, I have been running an antique shop here for decades, so this matter can be easily accomplished.
The contract was signed, the payment was made, and the two paintings became Chen Wenzhe.
He really didn't expect that he could encounter the works of two modern masters while wandering around.
Needless to say, Xu Beihong, even Liu Yi, is a famous figure who is active all over the world recently.
Therefore, if you want to get rich, you must study more.
Take Qi Hongxing for example, he knows a bit and must be specialized in something, but his specialization is in coins and badges, and he definitely doesn't know much about the calligraphy and painting market.
Otherwise, these two paintings would not have fallen into Chen Wenzhe's hands easily.
"Little brother, walk slowly. If you need something and can't find it at the moment, you can contact me. I still have some ideas."
"sure!"
Finally, Chen Wenzhe glanced at this small shop. Apart from the set of RMB, what other real things are there in this shop?
