As soon as they saw what was on the screen, whether it was Tony, York or Sophoby himself, the appraiser standing aside, they all knew that it was an ironclad certainty that this forgery was from Mayville... because of this.
The painting has already been scanned and appraised, and its date has been determined.
The time is consistent, and now that I see a line of Mayville's name written by himself on the screen, as well as a line of small characters, I know that the real author of this work cannot be faked, and it is indeed the work of Mayville.
This unknown person at that time is now in the hands of a master. And under his own signature, Mayville proudly wrote: The Rubens I painted is more Rubens than Rubens!
Of course, if you think about it, you can understand it. Rubens's little life was so evil that he looked down on this big-ass lover. In short, as long as it goes smoothly, life will be as smooth as possible.
It's moisturizing like a big ass controlling prince!
And Mayville was a little unlucky guy at the time, and he didn’t have anything to ask for! Maybe he couldn’t draw the big plump butts that the rulers liked, or maybe the things he drew were too philistine. At that time, the wealthy wealthy people
In his eyes, he is not worthy of being on the stage, so Mayville’s little life should not be too popular.
Light. Maybe it’s his envy of Rubens, or some other thoughts about Rubens. Anyway, Melville painted such a work after Rubens’s work. You can tell by looking at what he wrote,
This is a work that is more Rubens than Rubens, and it can be said that there are almost no flaws in terms of technique.
Tony looked at the manager and asked: "Do you have any questions?".
The manager had to smile bitterly and shake his head. What else can be said now? If the identification was fake, who would use Mayville's name to imitate the painting at that time? If it was a coincidence, the brushstrokes inadvertently formed the name Mayville
The signature is too ridiculous to fool a fool. Moreover, there is not only a name but also a line of words under the light. It cannot fool others.
"You can see it just by using this kind of light. Yi? How did Fang know?" The manager was a little confused. When this work was hung in Japan, Fang Yi was not born yet, so it was hung in Los Angeles.
At that time, I had never heard that Fang Yi had photographed this work. How could Fang Yi know how to adjust the polarized light to a certain wavelength band?
This kind of band is almost a spectrum band that cannot be used by appraisers. This situation made Fang Yi, the manager who was a little cautious, ask this question casually. The tone seemed to be unfamiliar with Fang Yi's appraisal methods.
Still a little doubtful! "Maybe there is something else that caused it.
Fang is suspicious!" Tony glanced at the manager and said. In fact, Tony also wanted to know. However, Fang Yi's explanation was too general and Tony couldn't understand it. Tony felt that his level was not good enough. He couldn't understand Fang Yi's few words.
I couldn't explain this matter to the manager even though it was the key point of time.
But it's no wonder that Tony doesn't understand. What Fang Yi wants is this kind of paradoxical artistic conception. It sounds like he said it, but in fact it's almost the same as not saying it, but he can always figure out something!
After hearing what the manager said, Qiao Translator immediately translated this sentence into Chinese for Zhang Xu and Li Lin. Zhang Xu and Li Lin were a little unhappy when they heard it. What are you saying? Look.
Fang Yi didn’t take enough pictures of your faces, right?!
Li Lin thought to himself: Just because you can't see it means that others shouldn't be able to see it? Do you talk like that? If your level is high, then what we have to do today is because you look like a bear. You smile like a traitor.
Similar! Oh! But, she is a beautiful woman!
Before Li Lin could speak, Zhang Xu had already spoken: "Perhaps Fang Yi's appraisal level is a little higher than some people's! It's not like a small fish or a shrimp!" After finishing this sentence,
He turned his head to the translator beside him and said: "Show the translator straight! Without him, Butcher Zhang, I will still have to eat meat with hair on it! If not, let's find another one."
Listening to what the translator said, there was no displeasure on the manager's face! Of course, if something like this happened at this time, it was not the time for him to vent his displeasure.
"We are amazed by Mr. Fang's appraisal level!" The manager pretended not to have heard Li Lin's words, with the tone of Shenzong Imperial City's do-it-yourself approach.
After saying this, he made a gesture of invitation to several people: "Please follow me to the reception room and discuss it carefully. Moreover, it involves Mayville and Rubens. It is not a small matter. In this way
Please allow me to first ask for instructions on how to arrange this important matter!".
When the matter has reached this point, it is no longer something that a small manager can solve. He needs to find a bigger head to make a decision on this matter. Whether it is to keep the decision or not, for Sofoby, he is not a manager who can make a simple statement.
Things have been resolved.
When several people arrived at the reception room this time, it was no longer the same as before. The reception room was extremely luxuriously decorated, with gorgeous carpets and some lampstands on the tables also made of pure silver. In short, it was the so-called large client room, used for reception.
Great gift for photographers.
After arranging Zhang Xu and others, the manager directly made a call to the newly appointed Wald's office.
"This is how the whole thing happened!" The manager reported to Wald from beginning to end and then waited for the general manager to make up his mind.
When he heard that the counterfeit he had just sold was the work of Mayville, Wald suddenly felt a sudden sound in his heart, which almost made his little heart stop beating. Then a surge of anger rose, while listening to
The manager said this while suppressing his anger.
"You go to receive them first. If they want to take pictures of us, they must accept them!" After suppressing his anger, Wald returned to some normal thinking: If this thing falls into the hands of two other companies for shooting, it might be possible.
No matter what kind of things are going to happen, it will be really fun to watch, and it will be the time to get out!
After thinking about it, Wald asked the manager again: "Go and complete the formalities first. I'll be busy here for a while and then go down to receive them personally!" After saying that, he hung up the phone without waiting for his manager to reply.
"Trash! Idiot! Dozens of bags are nothing compared to what someone can take a look at!" After putting down the phone receiver, Walder stood up from his chair and cursed the appraisers in the company. This paragraph
Time Wald felt that the appraisers at Sotheby's were all useless snacks, and none of them seemed to be of much use except for receiving a salary!
Wald's voice was so loud that even the little secretary outside heard it, but the little secretary didn't mind. He didn't even move his body when he was sitting. Having been Wald's secretary for three or four years, he knew that this was considered Wald's first act.
This is a way to relieve stress, just vent it out after a few curses.
Indeed, as the female secretary expected, after venting for less than three minutes, Walder sat back at his desk, holding his chin with one hand, and swiveled his chair to face the large French window next to him, looking out at the charming and charming view of New York's most prosperous area.
skyline.
This person is really not a good person! Wald thought of Fang Yi and made a definition in his mind! Wald’s feelings about Fang Yi are more complicated. Without Fang Yi, he would not be able to take the position, but now he has become a big problem for the general manager.
This person also found it for himself.
With Fang Yi in his mind, Wald began a journey to decompress himself mentally.
First in his own mind, Walder tied Fang Yi to the cross, and then lit a pile of firewood underneath. He poured gasoline on the firewood himself, and happily threw a torch over. Then
He saw Fang Yi struggling, crying, and begging him with tears on his face to let him go. However, under his fearless gaze, this heretic was burned alive into ashes! Just like before
This is how the church treats heretics!
The whole process in Walder's mind was roughly like the book in which the Holy See ordered Galileo to be burned!
Burning him to death alone could not relieve his hatred. The consciousness in Walder's mind felt that he had to beat him before burning him. This was necessary! He stripped off Fang Yi's clothes, nailed him to a cross and whipped him hard with a whip! Whip!
There are also barbs on the body. And you can't just pull them out, first dip them in some salt, then replace them with chili pepper water, and finally sprinkle them with cumin powder!
Thinking about it like this, Walder seemed to feel that Fang Yi's heart-tugging cry was coming to his ears again, as well as the voice that made people feel happy and couldn't help but beg for his forgiveness.
"I want you to cause trouble for me! I want you to cause trouble for me!" Walder happily stretched out his hand and subconsciously made a whipping motion. As soon as he raised his hand, he hit something, and then the thing fell to the floor of the office.
, there was a crisp snapping sound.
This sound brought Walder back to the real world from his beautiful thoughts.
As soon as he stretched his head, Wald saw that his family photo frame had been knocked to the ground by him, and the glass surface on it had been shattered. He picked up the photo frame and put it back on the table. Wald looked at the happy faces of his wife and three children.
, I couldn't help but let out a sigh.
After watching for two or three minutes, Wald seemed to have really adjusted his mood. He simply cleaned up the glass on the ground. Wald picked up the suit hanging on the back of the chair and put it on himself.
office door.
"Have someone go in and clean it up. The glass just broke to the ground! I'm going to the conference room downstairs now. If anything happens, just transfer the call there!" Wald finished instructing his secretary and buttoned up his suit.
Button raised his feet and walked towards the elevator.
Arriving at the door of the reception room, Wald adjusted his mood, and with a warm and warm smile on his face, he opened the door of the reception room.
Looking at the people in the reception room, he extended his hand to Zhang Xu and Li Lin in a very cheerful tone: "Thank you both for trusting us, Sofoby, we will definitely not let you down!".
Just looking at Wald's current expression, one would think that one does not know how close Wald and Zhang Xu are to each other!
After shaking hands with everyone, Walder began to talk to Li Lin and Zhang Xu about several very good auction times that he could provide. The most favorable and famous one is of course this year's Autumn Sotheby's in New York.
shoot.
"Not bad! The time is urgent!" Tony knew and understood the auction. After listening to Walder's words, he suggested to Zhang Xu and the others.
Li Lin had no idea and could only look at Zhang Xu. After hearing Tony's suggestion, Zhang Xu nodded: "Then let's shoot at this time for the time being!".
Now the two parties agreed on a time, and the next step was to initial the contract. In the end, this painting, which had never been published by Softby, went to the Softby auction house where it circled the hall and then returned, and in principle appeared in the auction house.
It’s on Sotheby’s catalog for this fall’s auction.
"I hope this news won't leak out! Give me two days!" After Wald signed the contract, he asked Zhang Xu, Tony, and York. It would take a few days. Wald had thought of it.
This is the most appropriate explanation method at present. After the results are obtained, this matter may turn around.
"I have no problem here!" Zhang Xu and Li Lin looked at each other and said. The two immediately left New York and went shopping in Los Angeles.
Tony and York had no problem, and the little translator also nodded.
After seeing off this group of people, Wald returned to his office and began to call the board members of Sofoby. The first was his biggest supporter. On the phone, he not only talked about today's events, but also said:
Your own plan!
"The conditions are really too harsh!" The director couldn't help but said after hearing Wald's plan: "I have never encountered such harsh conditions in my previous career!".
"In emergencies, follow authority!" Walder immediately began to persuade this person.
"I don't have any problems here anymore. You still need to persuade them to agree." After hearing what Walder said, the man thought he could give it a try.
Wald spent almost three hours on the phone, and then left in person the next day, working all day to persuade a bunch of vampire shareholders in Sofoby.
After seeing the result he wanted, Wald couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. After asking his secretary for a number, he immediately made a phone call and began to formally discuss his idea.)
