"It's not something I can decide!" Fang Yi smiled bitterly. When fake paintings appear is not decided by the artist, but by the market. As long as you become famous, there will always be fake paintings, let alone domestic fakes.
It is a common phenomenon that fake paintings from abroad appear in auction houses.
Keshima looked at the fake painting, sighed and said, "Yi! Are you going to be auctioned in China?"
Without waiting for Fang Yi to answer, Zou Heming said: "He has not spread a few works in China. I heard that several groups of people who went to China to collect works came back with nothing! And I met some doubtful works.
I don’t dare to buy it either!”.
This problem can also be understood. Fang Yi's early works were basically completed in Shiyi and Fang Yi's studio. Now most of them are in the hands of Fang Yi and Liu Hongshuo. These international second-rate dealers who acquired them have no influence on Fang Yi's early works.
I don’t have much understanding of Fang Yi’s style, because there are very few works that are confirmed to be authentic! Not only is there no comparison, but I also don’t know much about some of Fang Yi’s habits. It can be said that the identification of authenticity is very poor, which makes these foreign buyers
I don't dare to take too many risks.
"It's impossible for them to want to buy my work! Anyone who has my work on hand, as long as it appears on the market, the seller must have interacted with me." Fang Yi reached out and tapped the human body that he identified, and put the work
The story was briefly told to several people: "If I hadn't been moved by her words, I wouldn't have painted a work for her!".
"Buy a house?" Artur looked at Fang Yi and asked: "At that time you knew that your works could be exchanged for a house?".
"Why do mannequins in China feel like this?" Rude swung his hands and gestured to Fang Yi and asked. Rude couldn't understand. What's so shameful about mannequins! Why does this girl even have family members?
Don't tell me.
Fang Yi shook his head after hearing this: "Some old people still can't accept this thing, so be more conservative!" Fang Yi could only explain it this way, as for the things that are too deep, he couldn't understand them to a few foreigners.
.
"Are you going to keep your previous works like this?" Anders glanced at Fang Yi and asked casually.
Fang Yi smiled and shook his head: "My teacher wants to donate some of the paintings that I have always wanted to return to my alma mater, Shicheng Art Institute, and then I will also donate most of the works!".
As soon as the teacher made this suggestion, Fang Yi agreed to the teacher's arrangement and also prepared to donate most of his works to his alma mater. Fang Yi donated not only works, but also some early sketches and
Color drafts, these things together with the works, can basically show Fang Yi's creative process at that time. After all, the current stone art has begun to favor his own style. Whether it is sketch or color, Fang Yi's style has been influenced by some stone art teachers.
recognition, especially from the school’s top management.
What Liu Hongshuo did not tell his disciples in detail is that the overall reform of stone art has begun, and a very important point is to get rid of the rules and regulations set by the Central Academy of Fine Arts! In preparation for the teaching characteristics of stone art, the color and
The requirements for sketching now have something Fang Yi in them. That is to say, Fang Yi recognizes
What makes a good sketch and good color? Now, under the influence of old men like Liu Hongshuo and Liu Yuchan, it has gradually begun to become the dominant idea in admission and grading, but it has not been stated openly! This is also
This is the reason why it is more advantageous for Fangyi High School art students to take the art examination than to go to other colleges and universities.
"This method is good!" Zou Heming greatly agreed after hearing this. Anyway, as long as he doesn't appear in the market, it's completely fine for Zou Heming! Even if Fang Yi hides it at home, this person has no objection.
Zou Heming wouldn't mind much about the appearance of a sketch. Now such a small thing wouldn't make Fang Yi feel any entanglement. If you want to sell it, just sell it. Isn't it just Fang Yi to give someone some money to buy a house?
Was it the result that Yi thought at the time? And compared with the current selling price of this sketch, it is really not on the same level!
The money for a sketch can no longer be seen in Fang Yi's eyes. Not only Fang Yi, but also the few people sitting next to Fang Yi can't see it. Everyone is rich! The artist has completely escaped from poverty.
hats, a few people suddenly became rich. As someone said, the poor who engage in art will die poor, and the rich will die rich! No matter how you say it, Fang Yi and the five people can now be considered the rich ones.
A handful!
Fang Yi personally acknowledged that the sketch was completed by himself. As for the work that Fang Yi denied, it was naturally returned by the auction house.
Now Qin Xiaolan no longer works as a mannequin, but rented a small storefront with her new husband. Qin Xiaolan married a chef from the same hometown, and the two of them bought a restaurant and started a noodle shop business.
As for her past work as a mannequin, Qin Xiaolan did not hide it from her husband like some sisters, but told her after meeting a few times. Anyway, if you don't mind, get along, if you do, let's break up! This was Qin Xiaolan's original plan
.In just a few months, the two got married.
At the beginning, Qin Xiaolan didn't know that Fang Yi was in the limelight abroad. She was so busy with things in the restaurant every day that she wouldn't pay attention to anything in the art world. A friend who was also a model came over to eat.
I mentioned it to Qin Xiaolan during the interview.
While eating noodles, the model chatted with Qin Xiaolan about Fang Yi's fame, and then began to regret why she had not been a model for Fang Yi. If she had known earlier, she would have strongly demanded to be a model for free, as long as Fang Yi gave her
Just draw something.
As a mannequin, and having been in the industry for several years, of course everyone knows what is the difference between being famous at home and being famous abroad? Even among the several well-known painters in China, some of them have never gone abroad to spend their golden years.
, let alone one that can be praised by foreign mainstream art media! Fang Yi’s phenomenon is simply going to skyrocket!
After listening to this person's words, Qin Xiaolan remembered that Fang Yi, Qu Gu, Tao Yong and Wei Jin had helped each of them draw a sketch, and they turned it out as soon as their friend left! Then they asked about the sketch.
I am a familiar stone art teacher. I want to find out the price of Fang Yi’s works. If it is suitable, I will use this work to sell my current small store! As for selling the house, I will talk about it later! Who knows, they only gave me one sentence
:Send it to auction, it’s hard to estimate!
The auction house received confirmation from Fang Yi and informed Qin Xiaolan of his valuation and the time of the auction.
"Honey! Do you think this painting can be sold? I heard that there is even a rumor that it failed to sell." Qin Xiaolan's husband really couldn't believe it. A piece of charcoal painting on a piece of paper was worth 250,000!
Qin Xiaolan put down the phone in her hand, wiped her hands on her apron and said, "That's probably not the case! The auction house must be very safe in doing this! If we sell this, we can take over the store and save our money."
It doesn’t cost more than 70 square meters to buy a house. In this way, the two of us can have a home in Shicheng! Once we have a household registration, we are considered city dwellers!”
If it were Fang Yi's oil painting, Qin Xiaolan wouldn't be so worried. It could be worth hundreds of thousands or millions at least, but now she only has one sketch. Qin Xiaolan can still tell the difference between sketch and oil painting.
, there will always be some reduction in price.
"I hope! It's okay even if it's less. If we add the money we've saved now, it'll be enough for a down payment!" Qin Xiaolan's husband took a step back mentally. As long as he can sell for 200,000, he will be satisfied.
Got it!
The valuation of 250,000 yuan made the young couple a little uncomfortable for more than a week. They could even dream about it when they were sleeping. However, Qin Xiaolan dreamed that the deal was completed and she got stacks of RMB, and she
My husband dreamed that the auction failed and his family didn’t get a penny from it!
On the day of the auction, the couple felt that instead of waiting for news at home, they should go to the site to see it. It was such a difficult day!
Hearing that the two sellers were coming, the auction house naturally arranged seats for them at the auction site.
Qin Xiaolan's husband held his wife's hand and sat next to her. Hearing the auctioneer open his mouth and said: "The next auction is Mr. Fang Yi's sketch, which was painted when he was studying in Shicheng! The picture is a mannequin! As for Fang
Mr. Yi, I won’t introduce you too much here.
Many people know it! I just want to emphasize that there are less than ten works by Mr. Fang Yi in private hands in China! This work is quite precious, and Mr. Fang Yi is sure that
This work is by my own hand!”.
After listening to the auctioneer's words, the couple's hands held a little tighter. Especially Qin Xiaolan's husband silently thought to himself: Someone is bidding! Someone is bidding!
"The base price is 250,000! Each increase is 10,000! Start bidding now!" As soon as the auctioneer finished his words, he saw someone holding up a sign.
"Two hundred and sixty thousand!" Hearing this voice, the couple let out a long sigh of relief!
"Three hundred thousand!" A man raised the sign, opened his mouth and directly carried it in three hundred thousand!
"Three hundred and twenty thousand!".
"Three hundred and seventy thousand!" Who would care about adding ten thousand to tens of thousands?
"One million!" Another one came and was even more ruthless. He did almost three somersaults, and the price went up to one million! Now the couple was not calm at all! One million! The couple's brains went crazy.
Li didn't know what to think now, and the next reaction in his mind was a bit slow: Oh! It's 1.4 million, it's 1.8 million!
The husband and wife are not calm, but many of the people participating in the auction are honest and calm. Fang Yi has been famous here for three or four months, and those who are well-informed have already inquired about it, and some people are even interested in Fang Yi's works.
Anyone can tell a story, and some of them heard the news that Fang Yi was going to donate paintings to Shiyi. In this way, this sketch by Fang Yi is really rare!
As for the gallery's methods of maintaining painting prices, these people also know that they are all inseparable! There is a Lawrence Gallery that sells 20 or 30 works by Fang Yi a year to bring down the prices of the works! Now that Fang Yi is like this, new works are on the market every year.
, no more than seven paintings at most! Maybe only two or three! How can we maintain a high price for twenty-three works?!
These people guessed right. Zou Heming would not release twenty or thirty pieces of Fang Yi's works at once. He would rather leave them in the gallery's safe than release so many works at once! For the five people who signed the contract, reputation and
After the price of paintings stabilizes, there will only be three to four paintings a year at most. If you want to be at the top of the price pyramid of artists' works, the style of the works is not only important, but the number of works is also very important.
"Two million and one million!"
"Two million and four hundred thousand!" he repeated hurriedly before the auctioneer came, and the new bid was refreshed!
As for Qin Xiaolan and his wife sitting below, they were just in a daze. The money they had worked hard for a lifetime was now being spit out easily by the people around them. All these people were fighting for was
It’s just a sketch! Or paper with carbon traces on it! (To be continued...)
