Suddenly, a spring breeze came overnight, and thousands of pear blossoms bloomed! If Zou Heming knew some ancient Chinese poetry, he would surely have uttered such a sentence in a literary manner, or said a sentence of sudden enlightenment to respond to the scene! But for ancient Chinese poetry
Zou Heming, an old beauty who knew nothing about poetry and only had a little bit of Chinese ancestry, could only look at the night view of New York outside his office window and keep doing it to vent the happiness in his heart.
Even Zou Heming himself has to admit that since the article in "Art Review" came out, he has been woken up by laughter several nights while falling asleep. Just like now, when he wakes up, he lights up a Cuban cigar.
Holding the red wine glass in one hand, he took a sip, blew out a faint smoke ring, and watched a cloud of smoke float lightly in front of his eyes, and then slowly faded and disappeared into the night.
The car doesn't work! It's too old, it's time to replace it! The house in New York is not big enough, and the swimming pool inside now looks like a fish tank, and it is too small! The living room doesn't work either. I want to hold a small party at home.
There is no room for twenty people to stand! All of this is not in line with my status as a big gallery owner.
The lit cigar glowed dark red near his mouth. Zou Heming was immersed in his wonderful life in the future. The aroma of the cigar mixed with the red wine in his other hand made Zou Heming not only drunk physically but also mentally!
"Boss! Mr. Clark wants to continue the last contract! He wants to buy the work of Mr. Van der Masset that he liked last time!".
Zou Heming was a little dissatisfied with the secretary for interrupting his sweet dream, but he was even more dissatisfied with this idiot named Clark! He turned around and smiled at the secretary and asked: "Why haven't you gone back yet? You haven't gone back yet?"
It’s early!”.
"Leave now! I'll pack up my things! Boss, aren't you going back now?"
He raised his hand and shook the cigar in his hand: "After smoking this, go back! Everyone is a little busy during this period, but everyone's bonus will definitely satisfy everyone!" After saying that, he reached for the ashtray on the table.
Put some cigar ash in it.
The female secretary was very happy when she heard about the bonus, but she had not forgotten her own affairs: "How do I get back to Clark?"
"This blind villain! Ask him if he got his wife's permission this time!" Zou Heming snorted contemptuously and said: "You still want to continue the contract? Ask him if he went to bed so early and called us half asleep.
The phone call! The last contract! Is an artist who became famous in Venice and recognized by Art Review worth this price now? Now he only has enough money to visit a topless nightclub!".
After finishing speaking, Zou Heming repeated disdainfully: "More than two hundred thousand dollars! Humph!".
In the past, Clark fell in love with a work by Rude, but his wife thought the work was too erotic and was not suitable to hang at home because there were two rebellious children at home, so the contract was terminated.
The deposit of more than 10,000 yuan was wasted. But now this person wants it again! That's why he made this phone call. Now it's not his turn to want it. The price has changed. At least he wants it.
Somersault!
"I know!" The female secretary smiled, twisted her body and walked out of the door, closing the door of the office. The secretary replied. Of course, it was impossible to follow Zou Heming's current tone, saying that the painting had been sold.
So I sent away the person who broke the contract.
The sweet dream was interrupted. When Zou Heming was alone, he had no interest in continuing. Instead, he began to think about the subsequent arrangements. Now suddenly, a big pancake appeared in the sky. And it was a big meat pancake with splatters of oil! The previous one
Some arrangements don't look right now.
A small hall of more than 200 square meters in a small and medium-sized art museum, or a small area as big as a butt in a museum? Where can the identities of the five linearist artists be reflected now? Now it seems that almost all the exhibition halls that were interested in the past are
It’s not appropriate anymore. The venue for this American City Exhibition basically needs to be changed! Even if the museum is not changed, the exhibition hall must be changed! Putting a painting 50 or 60 centimeters apart? Now it seems like nonsense. The distance between them must be at least two inches.
Miwu!
Zou Heming doesn't think that the five money trees he owns, which can easily lose money, are not worthy of a better venue! We need a big art museum and a big venue! These things should be easier to obtain than before. With the five people's current
The names of emerging artists.
Thinking of this, Zou Heming couldn't help but frowned, gently tapped the window sill with his hand holding a cigar, and began to think.
The five Fang Yis were talking non-stop in Venice, and were interviewed by some media from time to time. Rude and Keshma all received interviews from the mainstream media in their respective countries. But Fang Yi did not have this kind of treatment. Domestically,
The big media in China don’t care about these things. Even the National Pavilion doesn’t make the headlines, so it’s Fang Yi’s turn to be in the media! Besides, the masses don’t necessarily care about art. They focus on daily necessities, rice, oil, salt, etc.
Come to the house prices that are climbing rapidly!
Domestic mainstream media are concerned about where the leaders have been, what they have done and who they have met with. The same goes for local media, which pay attention to what local leaders have done and who they have met with, and what important instructions they have given.
It seems that what the public is most concerned about is not this, but which star is doing what. Which star has a new drama or movie, of course, who is being secretly awakened by his wife and husband, etc., who is following whom.
Well, who broke up with their lover again, why did they break up, this kind of lace. As for the Venice Biennale, in the minds of most people who don’t know the truth, they may still think that it is only a film festival!
The public doesn't know, but it doesn't mean that these artists who sit in some art forums talking about art all day long, or the quasi-artists don't know, during this period, as long as they are students in the art circles, there are also students who are interested in taking exams.
Students at the Art Academy, and of course young artists, started a heated discussion.
"How can Fang Yi become famous all of a sudden? Now he is making a big splash at the Venice Biennale. Yesterday I heard a buddy talk about the five masters of linearism! Damn! He is famous at the age of twenty-three! I am thirty and my children are all
I’m good at making soy sauce, but I haven’t even joined Zhan! Don’t talk about it, no one in the country wants to take me as a buddy!” A passerby posted this sentence in the forum.
Passerby B followed him and said: "If you have money, you can go to the exhibition. Fang Yi rented the stall with his own money! A friend of mine went to see the exhibition. It was a small place, and the works of three people were crowded in.
It also has two floors! He said that seeing the work in person is better than the photos of the work, but not much better. To be honest, I didn’t see what linearism was. It looked like the American artist Andre
Cohn’s long line version!”.
"I agree with the point above! I have also been to the scene to see it. I would say it is realistic, but it is a bit floating. The whole picture can clearly see layers of dyeing or rubbing lines. I would say it is impressionism, but it does not taste right!
It’s like a bowl of chowder!” Passerby C said as he took it.
"Do you guys upstairs know what art is? Have you ever seen the linearist works at the site? You saw a photo and you're talking about it here? And the works of Andre Cohen? The five of them took them out at random.
None of them are better than his realism skills! Don’t pretend to understand if you don’t understand! Let Andre paint the style of other people’s works and see.
? Just open your mouth and apply layers of dye. Let me see what effect you can achieve! "Art Review" has recognized the skills of the five people, so don't say such embarrassing things! Oh! I didn't know that you knew
I didn’t know the British had a magazine called Art Review!” The speaker was obviously a fan of Fang Yi’s style.
Passerby B immediately replied: "Don't act like you know everything! Is the British authoritative? Whoever the "Art Review" says is awesome is the best? It's not a god! I hate people like you the most.
Foreigners are right to fart! Not to mention anything else, the Venice Biennale is very watery right now! People like Fang Yi just hype it up a little better. If someone hypes my paintings, I will
I’m sure my sales are no worse than his!”.
"Then I won't say anything. You are right! I am waiting for you to one day put your name on the Biennale, and then let Art Criticism not recognize your work! And you can still let me look at you.
The prices of paintings are going to be those of Henri Beaubière or Lucien Freud! Millions of dollars more!"
At this time, another passerby jumped out: "Everyone, please be friendly! It's nothing to argue about! Fang Yichu is not famous. No matter how much the painting sells, you can't tell the difference! Let's talk about artistic style!".
Passerby C took over and said: "Then let me make a few comments! Generally speaking, Fang Yi's works are somewhat interesting! But not very good. But have you noticed? His works lack a strong Chinese flavor.
Come on, it’s completely Westernized! Anyway, you can’t see much Chinese thought in his works! Among the Chinese artists who are popular in the world’s painting circles, which one doesn’t have some Chinese ideas?
Very strong Chinese style? You look like the abstract works of the older generation Mr. Zao Wou-Ki, which I like very much. There are obvious Chinese philosophical thoughts in it, and it combines Chinese culture and Western painting very well! Also!
Mr. Cheng Fei, Mr. Ding Yi! Their works all have a strong Chinese style! But you can hardly see this in Fang Yi’s works. They are too Western!".
"I agree! China's talent is world-class! I think Fang Yi is famous now, but his works lack the stamina! He must have grown up in China, and only went to France to study after graduating from Stone Art. If he went completely Western
It’s going to be very unsavory! It’s hard to stay popular if it’s so nondescript!”
"Mr. Zao Wou-Ki is of French nationality, while Cheng Fei and Ding Yi are of American nationality! And in terms of art, if nothing else, the linearist style pioneered by Fang Yi is several blocks ahead of the two behind him! What kind of master is that?
!Is it right or wrong? A person who has not contributed to painting itself can talk about a master! I am laughing so hard!"
"Regardless of nationality, as far as their style is concerned, it is still Chinese style! You have to admit this, right?"
"If a foreign woman sits on a Chinese-style chair, wears a cheongsam, and plays the flute, it is considered Chinese style? Then if I find a Chinese model to wear Victoria's Secret, is it a combination of Chinese and Western styles?"
"No matter what, Fang Yi is famous now! By the way, one of my classmates is also happy. This guy has a painting by Fang Yi at home! He asked me two days ago if he could change his apartment in Mingzhu! This guy is worried about getting married.
I don’t have money to buy a house. Damn it! Why didn’t I know about Fang Yi earlier! If I had known earlier that I would have tricked him and asked him to paint a few pictures for me, I wouldn’t have to go to work now! By the way, his gouache skills
How much to sell for?”.
Passerby Renshu said: "You can't say for sure. According to the general domestic auction price, if the work has gained a little fame abroad, as soon as the work returns to the country, it will immediately turn over the original price. This is what your friend has in hand.
It’s really hard to estimate the early works.
Let’s see how Fang Yi’s works perform in the future! But even so, your friend is lucky enough! In any case, it is worth more than four to five million yuan. If Fang Yi’s works are less popular, the price will be even less certain.
!How did he get it?".
"His grandfather retired from Fang Yidai's high school. When he had free time, he went to model for Fang Yi, who was still a student at the time. After Fang Yi finished painting, he signed his name on the work and gave it to his grandfather! As a thank you,
That’s how it came about!”.
"Why don't I have such a dedicated grandpa!"
"Hahaha! Upstairs, you have to stay in Fang Yi's high school even if you have it!".
When money was mentioned, the topic began to go astray. Everyone was thinking about how much silver they could exchange for Fang Yi's paintings. Some people even asked if it would be enough to support a wife at home and buy a small one outside.
! Even people who disdain Fang Yi’s style of work are starting to have random thoughts.
No one knew that there was a person in the forum who was listening silently and thinking about it. Although this person didn’t have it, he knew where to find it! And this painting is not a small painting, it is a big painting! Money
The temptation is really fascinating. This person looked at the screen and laughed at the obscene discussions of these people! But his heart flew to the side of the painting!
"How can I get this painting without any trace of it?" the man said to himself.
