If I read it correctly, among these ten paintings, one should be a work by Van Gogh, two works by Raphael, two works on the plug, and two works by Rembrandt. Mr. Bafaya is slow and...
He said solemnly. Although his tone was not very sure, given his status, how could he say such a thing if he was not completely sure?
Princess Alice was dumbfounded. As a collector of paintings and calligraphy, due to the support of the British royal family, especially Prince Philip, Alice enjoyed the collection process like a fish in water. She has always been proud of the extensive collection of paintings and calligraphy works.
.But even so, she was not sure whether the total value of the paintings she collected was higher or lower than those of Yu Fei's dozen or so paintings.
You must know that the series of names Mr. Bafaya just mentioned are all great artists. Their works are very popular in the auction market, and they are comparable to Monet. There are so many of them.
Even many museums cannot get this masterpiece. I really don’t know where Yu Fei got it from. Neither Bafaya nor Alice believe that Yu Fei got this from the Bermondsey morning market.
Sixteen famous paintings. If there were really so many exquisite products in the Bermondsey Morning Market, there would probably be even more people visiting. Among other things, Mr. Bafaya wants to go to the Bermondsey Morning Market right now.
If Abbott were still here, he would be too embarrassed to find a place to hide in.
But Yu Fei's surprises are not limited to this.
Bafaya was holding the last painting with an excited expression. His hands seemed to be trembling a little. This made Yu Fei suspect that the old man had signs of Parkinson's disease.
But this painting Bafaya took a deep look at Yu Fei and continued: It should belong to Picasso.
Who asked Yu Fei? Bafaya's voice was hoarse and he didn't hear clearly.
Mr. Bafaya, are you sure that this painting is really the work of Picasso? Although Alice heard clearly, she still asked in disbelief, and did not even notice that it was very impolite to question Bafaya.
Picasso and Yu Fei finally heard a familiar name. Yu Fei had not done much research on European art. He entered the industry late and had little experience. Among the series of names Bafaya just mentioned, he
I have heard of Van Gogh, and now of course I have to add Picasso. Compared to the previous ones, Picasso's reputation is better than all of them.
Picasso is the founder of modern art and the main representative of Western modernist painting. The Les Demoiselles d'Avignon he created in 1907 is the first work considered to have a Cubist tendency and is a famous landmark masterpiece. It
Marking a revolutionary breakthrough in the history of modern Western art, it triggered the birth of the Cubism movement. In the following ten years, this painting actually led to unprecedented development of French Cubist painting, and even spread to ballet stage design literature.
Music and other fields, and even had a profound impact on 20th century sculpture and architecture. In a poll conducted by a French newspaper in December 1999, he was selected as one of the ten greatest of the 20th century with a high vote of 40
The leader of painters.
Picasso is a prolific painter. According to statistics, his works total nearly 37,000 pieces, including: 1,885 oil paintings, 7,089 sketches, 20,000 prints, and 6,121 lithographs. However, because Picasso has many collectors, it is circulated in the market
There are not many of them, and the prices are very high. Among the top 10 highest-priced paintings in the world, Picasso’s works account for 4. This is evident from this.
Seeing Bafaya being so excited, Yu Fei didn't understand and secretly muttered in his heart. Isn't he just a Picasso? What's the fuss?
Yu, now I am more and more suspicious that you have really robbed the British Museum. Princess Alice said jokingly.
Yu Fei smiled bitterly: Isn't that too exaggerated? I just bought these paintings from a painting stall in the morning market in Bermondsey. I'm not afraid of being embarrassed to tell you that I didn't know about these paintings when I bought them.
I just thought these paintings seemed a bit special, so I picked them out one by one. In order to prevent the stall owner from noticing, I also specially selected four of his paintings. Hey, those are the four paintings I took out just now. Yu Fei pointed
He pointed to the four paintings he had casually put aside and said.
When he said this, Bafaya and Princess Alice couldn't help but believe it. Yu Fei's luck was also very good. You know, although collectors like Bafaya don't patronize the Bermondsey Morning Market, there are still
Many collectors with high level of appraisal want to buy some treasures at the morning market. They even visit almost every morning market, but in all these years, I have never heard of anyone buying them at once at the Bermondsey morning market.
Of course, after buying so many high-quality products, it's possible that someone bought it and didn't make any announcement about it, but Bafaya still felt that this possibility was too low.
But Yu Fei was different. He found sixteen famous paintings at a stall, and these paintings did not belong to the same artist. The strength of this stall was amazing.
More importantly, both Bafaya and Princess Alice could see that Yu Fei was not modest. He really didn't know how to draw a person who didn't know how to draw. He chose sixteen paintings handed down by his own intuition.
paintings, I’m afraid no one will believe it if I tell you this
Mr. Yu, I can only say that you are a talented artist. Bafaya Yu Fei's special feeling for paintings is attributed to his sensitivity to art. If he didn't have such a keen sense, Yu Fei would not have been able to pick out these famous paintings.
In the collecting world, there are indeed some collectors who rely on intuition, and their intuition is particularly accurate.
Bafaya thought about the Crystal Holy Grail again. At Sotheby's auction, Yu Fei also bought the Crystal Holy Grail for a high price of 220,000 pounds without knowing the value of the Crystal Holy Grail. He also bought it on the spot.
Did he pay the full amount to complete the transaction? How could he make such a decision if he didn't have a very keen intuition?
So, these paintings are very expensive for you to buy, Alice asked. Indeed, if these paintings are put up for auction, even if they cannot reach 10 million pounds, the price of a picture of several million pounds is still very high.
Easily. Yu Fei won sixteen such paintings in one fell swoop. It was probably impossible without paying a very high price. That's why Alice asked.
It was a bit expensive. For Feinana, it was a bit hard for him to say it. After all, both Bafaya and Alice called these sixteen paintings priceless treasures, and he only spent four hundred pounds to buy them all.
I bought it. If you tell anyone about it, it does seem to be a bit of a show off. Those who don't know better would think that he got a bargain and acted like a good boy.
"Yu, can you tell me the price you offered?" Alice said with an itch. For women, curiosity is considered a natural instinct.
Helpless, Yu Fei had no choice but to hold out four fingers.
Forty million pounds. Alice guessed: Yu, you have made a lot of money this time. You must know that if all these paintings are sold, you can get at least 150 million pounds, which is equivalent to a net profit of 100 million pounds.
The price difference of tens of millions of pounds, Mr. Bafaya, is there no problem with my valuation?
Alice asked Bafaya again. After all, when it comes to collection and valuation, Mr. Bafaya is the expert.
Bafaya nodded and said: There is nothing wrong with your valuation, it is just a bit conservative.
The valuation of 150 million pounds is quite conservative. Yu Fei really doesn't know how to describe his current mood. Of course he is not happy for money. His current assets exceed 10 billion, and he already cares about money very much.
It was light. He was just shocked by the pleasure of picking up the leak.
Whether it is Picasso or Monet, the prices of their works have been rising in recent years, and the price estimate of 150 million is indeed low.
However, I think Her Royal Highness the Princess may have guessed wrong. Mr. Bafaya said.
Did I guess something wrong? Alice asked doubtfully.
Bafaya smiled slightly and said: I think the price Mr. Yu paid for them should not be 40 million pounds.
Although Mr. Bafaya has not been to Bermondsey Morning Market, he is familiar with the price level of art there. It is simply impossible to spend a huge sum of 40 million pounds there in one morning.
When Bafaya said this, Alice also felt a little enlightened, yes, who would buy more than 40 million things there.
Could it be four million? Alice said in shock: This is incredible. To be continued...
