Following Ma Qiang's shout, a young man came to the oval dining table with a scroll. Together with Ma Qiang, he opened the scroll and laid it flat on the table.
After spreading the scroll, Ma Qiang said: "Everyone, if you are interested, you can come up and take a look. Please do not touch it with your hands..."
Probably because of the Mid-Autumn Festival, there were not many people participating in the black market auction this time. In addition to Zhuang Rui, Fatty Jin and the famous young man from the capital named Yang Bo, there were six or seven people.
According to Fatty Jin, these people are all monks on the way, and can barely be regarded as people in the collecting circle. Zhuang Rui knows that these people are probably the people who invest in antiques as Fatty Jin said.
"Teacher Jin, please first..."
As soon as Ma Qiang finished speaking, almost everyone in the hall stood up except Miao Feifei and the little star. Even Zhuang Rui was no exception. There were not many paintings by Wu Daozi, even if they were imitations.
See.
Those few people probably knew Fatty Jin, so they all took a few steps back to let Fatty Jin step forward to check first.
In the capital's antiques world, apart from Fatty Jin's teacher named Aixinjueluo, he can be regarded as the most authoritative expert in calligraphy and painting appraisal. Those who invest in antiques may be able to recruit Fatty Jin in the future.
on his head, so he was very polite to him.
Zhuang Rui followed Fatty Jin and walked to the table in an honest and polite manner, causing the other people to look at Zhuang Rui angrily. You are just playing with jade, why are you joining in the fun with calligraphy and painting?
You know, each physical appraisal only lasts five minutes. After these five minutes, the auction will take place. Of course, you can choose not to sell it, but what if this object is really a later imitation of the Song Dynasty? That is also the value.
Liancheng's treasure, so these people in the venue attach great importance to these few minutes of appraisal time.
Zhuang Rui ignored these people. Calligraphy and painting antiques were the most fake and old. Those people didn't even bring an appraiser, they just wanted to come to Taobao. They were purely on the same level as Yang Wei and his father.
Spend money to find someone who is abusive.
This "Portrait of Guan Gong" is about 38*60 centimeters in length and width. The paper is yellowed but loose. It should be painted on fine rice paper. Guan Gong is holding the Qinglong Yanyue Sword in one hand with the handle.
Looking down, his legs are spread apart as he rides on the red rabbit horse chasing the wind. He looks around with a pair of red phoenix eyes and brows. His posture is round and his clothes are flying, he is bold and free and easy, and he is majestic.
Fatty Jin took out a magnifying glass and leaned down, starting from the shaft of the scroll, and observed it bit by bit. Although it was said that the mounting could be from later generations, some clues could also be seen from it. Appreciating antiques is not just about looking at the objects.
In itself, other details are also very important, including the bell marks on the scrolls, which can be used to determine the authenticity.
Compared to Fatty Jin, Zhuang Rui's performance seemed very amateurish. Although he took out a magnifying glass and took a few glances, he then withdrew from the crowd, as if he was just joining in the fun.
"Is it real?"
Seeing Zhuang Rui sit back, Miao Feifei asked. She knew that she couldn't see any clues, so she didn't bother to step forward and join in the fun.
"How do I know? Ask Teacher Jin later."
Zhuang Rui was murmuring in his heart at this moment. He had just used his spiritual energy to observe directly and found that there was spiritual energy in the painting. The color was slightly yellow and the quantity was quite strong. According to his experience of using spiritual energy to look at antiques, this painting should be
It was imitated by the Qing Dynasty.
This is because the auras in antiques from the Tang and Song dynasties are basically red, and if they are treasures, they are reddish-purple. Even the auras in antiques from the Ming Dynasty are light red in color. Only those from the Qing Dynasty and modern times are white and purple.
Yellow aura.
Zhuang Rui is now considering whether to take over this painting. Although this painting is not imitated by people in the Song Dynasty, let alone the original work of Wu Daozi, there are also several masters in the Qing Dynasty who are good at imitating the calligraphy and painting of famous people. Now their descendants
The price of imitation works in the market is also rising all the way, and they are very valuable for collection.
In fact, the collection of modern calligraphy and painting antiques is mainly divided into the following categories. The first type is of course the rare handwritings of famous artists. Needless to say, every famous work from ancient times to the present has its market price. As long as you think it is worth it,
, go to several auctions and participate in several auctions, and you can always receive some good items.
Of course, there are some things that cannot be bought with money. For example, the original manuscript of Wang Xizhi's "Lanting Preface" is not known to still exist. It is said that Li Shimin was buried by Li Shimin. If that thing can come out, it will be sold.
10 billion RMB is not expensive. This kind of thing has become a kind of cultural inheritance and cannot be measured with money.
The second type of collectible is the works of later generations of famous artists who imitated the works of previous generations. There are many examples of this type. As far away as Tang Bohu, Huang Gongwang, modern famous masters such as Zhang Daqian and Qi Baishi have all imitated the paintings of ancients.
, although these types of works are not authentic works from ancient times, they are equally valuable and have been passed down for many generations. Like the works of some modern famous artists, they are now the main force in calligraphy, painting and antique collections.
As for the third type of valuable calligraphy and painting, it is a relatively rare individual existence. This kind of calligraphy and painting is often ancient painting, but the identity and origin of its author cannot be verified. There is no style or knowledge on the painting, but the painting skills are exquisite and not inferior to those
Works by famous artists are often collected by celebrities of later generations.
This type of painting has a unified name, called: Anonymous. Most of them are paintings from the Song Dynasty. There are also some anonymous paintings from the Qing Dynasty that have been handed down, but their value is far from that of the anonymous paintings from the Song Dynasty. Most of the anonymous paintings that have been handed down from the Song Dynasty are included in the list.
to poetry and painting classics.
Emperors Kangxi and Qianlong once collected many unknown paintings from the Song Dynasty, and left their own seals and poems on them. Even apart from the ancient paintings themselves, the seals in the handwriting of famous artists attached to the paintings are also valuable.
As for the last type, it is a pure fake. It has little collection value, but it is also the most circulated in the market. Some unscrupulous traders even use some printed materials to fool those who have just entered the collecting circle. Most of them are
Some shoddy work.
The painting on the table should belong to the second type. The painter is quite exquisite and the brushwork is skillful. It highlights Guan Gong's appearance and the demeanor of the red rabbit and horse. However, if textual research cannot prove this,
No matter who the imitation comes from, its value will be greatly reduced, which is why Zhuang Rui hesitates to take action.
Some friends may say this when they see this. You bought it for your own enjoyment, not for takeout. No matter who painted it, you can just look at it for yourself and hang it at home for appreciation.
But that’s not what it is said. The fun of Taobao shopping is that you spend a small amount of money and buy an object whose real value far exceeds the money you spent. If the author of this painting cannot be verified, it is probably worth nothing.
It looks like 30,000 to 50,000 RMB.
The inheritance of antiques is orderly. If the author can be verified, as long as the author is slightly famous, the price of this Guan Gong statue imitating Wu Daozi will be hundreds of thousands or even millions. There is a huge difference between the two.
You know, it is normal for famous Ming and Qing painters to imitate the paintings of the Tang and Song Dynasties for millions of dollars at auction.
A few minutes later, Fatty Jin also sat back, and Zhuang Rui asked in a low voice: "Teacher Jin, what do you think of this painting?"
"The time is too short, so I can't tell for sure, but judging from the paper quality and painting style, it should be imitated by people in the late Qing Dynasty. The painting is quite smooth and the brushwork is good. If you give me some time to check, I should be able to find out who painted it.
of."
Fatty Jin's inference was similar to what Zhuang Rui thought, but for a while he couldn't tell who had copied the painting. He frowned and thought about whether he should take action.
"Okay, friends, please come to your seats. The base price of this "Guan Gong Statue" imitated by Wu Daozi is 5,000 yuan. Each increase in price must not be less than 5,000 yuan. Friends who are interested in buying it, please bid...
…”
Ma Qiang did things simply. After seeing everyone sit down, he immediately started the auction process. This painting was just an appetizer, so the auction price was not high. Otherwise, even if it was a Qing Dynasty imitation, it wouldn't be several thousand dollars.
You can buy it for just 1 yuan.
However, after Ma Qiang finished calling out the price, no one in the venue answered. They all looked at the frowning Fatty Jin, trying to get some clues from his face. Including Yang Bo, I am afraid no one believed it.
These words were imitated by Song, but they also knew that imitations were valuable.
"I'll pay five thousand yuan!"
Zhuang Rui didn't care so much. He could guess the scruples in these people's hearts, but he understood better that five thousand yuan was already considered a waste for this painting. If someone raised the price, the best he could do was not take it.
.
Zhuang Rui's bid made everyone have strange expressions on their faces, because when Zhuang Rui came up to look at the painting just now, everyone saw it. He was just looking at it. Could it be that Jin
What did the fat man just say to him? Several people were already ready to make a bid.
"Teacher Zhuang is offering five thousand yuan. Do you have any friends who can bid? This is a genuine ancient painting. Ten thousand yuan is equivalent to giving it away for free. If you are interested, please bid."
Ma Qiang's shouting sounded again, but compared to the man on the grassland black market, he seemed a little too eager for quick success.
It's okay that he didn't yell. With this yell, Fatty Jin frowned even more. Finally, he sighed and shook his head. It was obvious that he didn't intend to take action. However, after seeing Fatty Jin's actions, the few people next to him
, the hand that was about to be raised, was quietly put back.
"Are there no other friends bidding?"
"For the last time, if no one bids, this ancient painting will belong to Mr. Zhuang."
"Okay, Mazi, change to another object and stop shouting."
Fatty Jin was a little impatient. It was obvious that no one was bidding against Zhuang Rui anymore, so he kept howling in mourning.
