Chapter 697 The World’s Most Expensive Artwork (4)
Lu Zhenyu's collection room is indeed rich in collections, which is eye-catching.
"Mr. Lu, your collection room is really quite big." After walking in, He Qing couldn't help but praise, "It looks dazzling and the collection is very rich."
Hearing He Qing's praise, Lu Zhenyu was naturally happy and said with a smile: "You are very flattering. In fact, this is just my collection room in Switzerland. I also have a collection in China, which has more things."
"Really?" He Qing said in surprise, "That's amazing. Today I got to see a real great collector! I wonder if I will have the opportunity to visit your domestic collection hall in the future."
Lu Zhenyu hurriedly shook his head and said humbly: "How dare I call myself a great collector in front of you? In terms of collection, you are second to none! If you come to my collection to visit and give advice, it will be a great honor for me. I can't invite anyone else.
Arrived!"
He Qing smiled and said: "Then I will definitely go visit it when I have time. It will open my eyes."
With that said, Lu Zhenyu led He Qing inside and introduced some of the collections he was interested in.
Among the antiques he collected, there were porcelain, calligraphy and paintings, jades, bronzes, etc., as well as miscellaneous collections of the Four Treasures of the Study.
"Brother He, I want you to help me focus on these pieces of porcelain." Lu Zhenyu then pointed to a pile of porcelain placed on the shelf of ○2,w≡ww.
I searched around and obtained them mainly through auction channels. There are some disputes about some of them, which makes me very unsure. Since I have the honor to invite you, an expert, to come here today, please help me identify them and see what condition they are in.
, is there any big problem?”
He Qing nodded without hesitation and agreed: "No problem. I'll take a good look first."
"Well, please take a look." Lu Zhenyu nodded quickly and responded.
After finishing speaking, He Qing leaned down and carefully inspected the pieces of porcelain that Lu Zhenyu pointed to.
He quickly made an identification and knew what the situation was.
Most of them are authentic, and only one or two have problems. However, they are also old imitations, so Lu Zhenyu basically didn't make any mistakes, and even if there is a loss, the loss is not big.
After reading it, He Qing told Lu Zhenyu the results of the appraisal in detail.
After hearing this, Lu Zhenyu was overjoyed and breathed a long sigh of relief: "I didn't expect the result to be such a good one. I thought there was something wrong with everything and it was a new imitation."
"That's not true." He Qing shook his head vigorously and said, "Only two of the porcelains are old imitations. Although they are not fine products from the official kiln, they can be considered high imitations and have a certain collection value. The rest of the porcelains have no problems. They are
There is no doubt that the official kiln is genuine, but this is just my opinion and does not represent other people’s thoughts.”
Lu Zhenyu said with a smile: "Will there be any problems after you authenticate it? I can rest assured! In this case, I can safely bring the porcelain that is a cultural relic back to the country and donate it to the museum."
He Qing nodded in agreement: "Yes, these are fine porcelain from official kilns. They are important cultural relics for the cultural relics department and are of great research and collection value."
After asking He Qing to identify the batch of porcelain, Lu Zhenyu was completely relieved, and then he took He Qing to visit other large collections.
"Mr. Lu, it turns out you have collected so many Western antiques."
Immediately, they walked to a special collection area. The antiques displayed here were obviously not Chinese antiques, but some foreign art collections, such as Western porcelain and Western clocks. In fact, He Qing had already bought these items in Mr. Tang’s store before
I've seen it in antique shops. But I didn't expect Lu Zhenyu to be so elegant and like to collect foreign antiques.
Lu Zhenyu nodded and said: "Yes, I collected some casually, but the research is not deep. You also know that this is abroad. In addition to collecting antiques imported from China, you can also find Western porcelain and other foreign antiques."
He Qing looked at it carefully and said: "Not bad, very good! These Western antiques in the collection are also very beautiful, they should be good things."
Those antiques also emit varying degrees of spiritual light. Although they cannot be traced back to the "treasure light", they can definitely be genuine antiques and have a certain collection value.
However, He Qing has no interest in those things unless they are very special and truly rare.
Lu Zhenyu said: "Congratulations, brother, you must also have a deep study of Western antiques and be able to identify their authenticity and quality."
He Qing shook his head and said: "To tell you the truth, I have done very little research on Western antiques, so I can't tell very accurately."
Although he did not have deep research on this kind of antique, he could still date it based on the "baoguang" and make an accurate identification. However, it seems that identifying this kind of thing is of little significance.
Of course, if you encounter a rare treasure of national treasure level, that is a different matter.
Lu Zhenyu said with a smile: "You are too modest. There should be no antiques that you can't appraise well."
After that, He Qing carefully inspected the Western antiques. After reading, he raised his head and his eyes were suddenly attracted by several paintings hanging on the wall in front of him.
The first thing that caught his eye was an oil painting of a character. The protagonist of the oil painting was a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old, holding a pipe in his left hand, wearing a flower crown on his head, looking up at the sky in ecstasy. There were two bouquets of flowers hanging on the wall behind him.
The whole painting is poetic and picturesque, with profound artistic conception.
"Is this Picasso's work "Boy with a Pipe"?" He Qing asked after seeing it clearly.
Lu Zhenyu laughed and nodded: "Yes, but this painting is not the real thing, it is just a copy. I got it from a friend with great difficulty. Since I can't receive the real "Boy with a Pipe", I will use a
It’s not a bad idea to appreciate a high imitation.”
He Qing nodded and said: "Yes, Picasso's works are rare and very precious. They are not something that ordinary people can collect."
He could naturally tell that the "Boy with a Pipe" hanging on the wall at the moment was a fake, because it did not emit any spiritual light. Moreover, as we all know, one of Picasso's famous works, "The Boy with a Pipe", had been photographed.
When it was sold, the final transaction price was approximately US$110 million, making it the most expensive work of art recorded at auction in the world at that time. Moreover, it was ten years ago, and if it were now, the value would only be higher.
But that's right, art was originally priceless, but now that painting is probably priceless, and no amount of money can buy it.
After looking away from the copy of the famous "Boy with a Pipe", He Qing admired the other paintings hanging on the wall.
Most of the other paintings are also world-famous paintings, but they also do not emit obvious "treasure light".
But He Qing soon noticed that a strong spiritual light emanated from the corner on the right front.
In fact, he had noticed the "treasure light" a long time ago, but he just hadn't had time to examine it carefully.
At this time, he couldn't help but condense his eyes. As he concentrated in advance, that group of spiritual light continued to pour over.
Soon, He Qing saw the whole story through the "baoguang" that shot into his eyes.
"What a wonderful painting!"
After seeing it clearly, He Qing couldn't help but be shocked, as if he had suddenly made some huge discovery.
