Chapter 294: Chen Shaomei - 'Viewing the Waterfall'
Chapter 294 Chen Shaomei - "Watching the Waterfall"
"Everyone must have seen this precious Yongle official kiln artifact, so without further ado, the starting price of the 'Ming Yongle blue and white bottom with dragon pattern rim wash' is 5 million, and each increase in price must not be less than 10
Wan, start now!"
"Five million and one million!"
"Five million and two hundred thousand!"......
The ups and downs of placards hardly stopped for a moment, almost making the auctioneer lose count. However, such enthusiasm for bidding also made the price of this exquisite porcelain from Yongle official kiln, which is actually Zhu imitation, rocket like a rocket.
After rising to over 10 million, this crazy bidding fell back slightly.*,,
However, at this time, the people who were really capable of competing for this collection began to stand up and bid. The people in front were more just trying their luck.
"No. 9 has thirteen million friends! Is there anything higher?"
"Okay, Tibetan friend No. 18 bids 13.5 million! Is there anything higher?"
Hearing the auctioneer's words, Mr. Ma, who was sitting next to Liu Dong, almost without hesitation raised the sign in his hand, and instead of one hundred thousand, he directly added five hundred thousand to it.
"Tibetan friend No. 23 bids 14 million!" The auctioneer's voice was louder than ever.
When Ma Lao's bidding price of 14 million came out, several people who were still bidding before hesitated and put down their bidding signs.
"9 Good collectors bid 14.5 million. Okay, okay, is there anything higher?" As he said, the auctioneer's eyes wandered over the few people who had bid more than 10 million, with a look in his eyes.
Fiery. And a bit provocative.
"Mr. Ma, please don't bid anymore. That's not Yongle official kiln at all. It's a fucking 'Zhu imitation'!" Liu Dong shouted in his heart.
But some things often happen when you least expect them to happen.
"Fifteen million!" The person who spoke was the bodyguard who was following Mr. Ma.
"Okay, okay! Tibetan friend No. 23 bids fifteen million. Is there anything higher?"
When Liu Dong heard the words 'fifteen million', his brain almost shut down, his heartbeat increased rapidly, and two words echoed in his brain - 'It's over'!
At this time, Mr. Ma was also very nervous. The fifteen million was almost the highest price he could offer. If this price was not enough to win this important piece of Yongle official kiln, then he would have to reluctantly give up.
Already.
"Fifteen million, fifteen million, is there anything higher than fifteen million? Fifteen million, is there any higher bid? The one bidding now is 'Ming Yongle Blue and White'
The inner and outer bottoms are decorated with dragon patterns. This is a priceless Yongle official kiln artifact. It is rare in the world and a peerless treasure!" The auctioneer's tongue blossomed, and he spat out his good words for free.
However, the auctioneer's flirtatious look was not given to the blind man. Just after he dropped the hammer for the second time, the extremely hesitant Tibetan No. 9 finally raised the bidding card in his hand.
"15.5 million! Tibetan friend No. 9 bids 15.5 million!" The excited and high-pitched voice made Liu Dong suspect that this guy should not be an auctioneer, and that the tenor profession might be more suitable.
he.
He complained feebly and stared at Mr. Ma, but this time the old man did not live up to his expectations. When he made the bid on the 9th, the heavy look of disappointment on the old man's face indicated that he had given up.
"Phew! This is what I did. I wasn't so nervous when I was taking pictures just now!" Liu Dong breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself.
Then the auctioneer's voice was full of temptation, and the sound lasted for two minutes. After seeing that no one was bidding again, he reluctantly dropped the hammer.
Finally, this fake "Zhu imitation" blue and white blue and white inner and outer bottom with dragon patterns on the inner and outer bottoms of the Ming Dynasty also fell into the hands of buyer No. 9.
If it is a genuine Ming Yongle blue and white inner and outer bottom with dragon pattern edge wash, it will probably be at this price, and even the market price is slightly lower than this. And this fully shows that the real good stuff, no matter where it is, its
The value will not drop at all.
…………
After the bidding on this Yongle official kiln ware, it was obvious that the porcelain auction had just passed. From the beginning to now, nearly an hour and a half had passed.
Then there was a five-minute rest to allow everyone to calm down and go to the toilet. After a short rest, they then entered the calligraphy and painting auction.
However, I don’t know if it was the Yongle official kiln auction that exhausted everyone’s energy. In short, the subsequent calligraphy and painting auctions have been tepid. Moreover, the auctions are not works by famous artists, most of them are from the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.
Paintings, so the number is usually around five to six thousand, ten to twenty thousand.
During this period, Liu Dong also used his own relic Yuanguang to buy a picture of Master Qi Baishi. However, the picture was not big, only one square foot. There were two lines of poems next to it, but there was no signature from Master Qi Baishi.
The value of the painting was greatly reduced. Of course, otherwise, this painting would not have fallen into Liu Dong's hands.
Perhaps sensing that everyone was not enthusiastic about calligraphy and painting, the auctioneer decisively put out a piece of "Waterfall Viewing" by Chen Shaomei, a master of traditional Chinese painting who had been selected for the "Dahongpao", which was left behind for auction.
The so-called "Dahongpao" refers to several large-scale sets of "Painting Collection of Modern Chinese Famous Masters", "Collection of Calligraphy of Modern Chinese Masters", "Collection of Paintings of Modern Chinese Masters" and "Collection of Oil Paintings of Modern Chinese Masters" published by Tianjin People's Publishing House.
The nickname of the series of albums is "Dahongpao" because the cover is in festive Chinese red.
Those who have been selected for Dahongpao are all major Chinese calligraphers and painters in modern times, including Ren Bonian, Wu Changshuo, Qi Baishi, Huang Binhong, Xu Beihong, Zhang Daqian, Pu Xinshe, Lin Fengmian, Pan Tianshou, Li Kuchan, Zhu Qizhan, Fu Baoshi,
Albums of 20 artists including Li Keran, Guan Shanyue, Jiang Zhaohe, Wu Guanzhong, Huang Zhou, Wu Zuoren, Huang Qiuyuan, and Shi Lu. Since then, the "Dahongpao" series of publications has been launched. Later, it was successively included in the albums of Guo Weifu, Bai Xueshi, Liang Shunian, Qian Songyan, and Yang Shanshen.
, Huang Junbi, Yaming, He Haixia, Ma Jin, Yu Xining, Song Wenzhi, Huang Yongyu, Ren Shuying, Dong Shouping, Wang Shensheng, etc. have a great influence on the Chinese painting circle!
After seeing Chen Shaomei's "Waterfall Viewing", everyone was interested in bidding, and Liu Dong was no exception. In the end, Liu Dong paid 1.58 million to buy this fine traditional Chinese painting by Chen Shaomei.
Immediately afterwards, two more sketches by Xu Beihong, as well as several calligraphy and painting manuscripts by Liang Shunian, Bai Xueshi and Li Keran, were also sold for prices ranging from 50 to 1 million.
"It's almost time to auction the final items of calligraphy and painting!" Liu Dong looked at the time on his watch and thought to himself.
"Not to mention, after Sister Wang bought this watch, it is much easier to tell the time than before!" Liu Dong thought with a hint of boredom.
"Everyone, next is the finale of today's painting and calligraphy auction, "Red Cliff Fu Album" in cursive script by Dong Qichang, a master of calligraphy and painting in the Ming Dynasty!" As the auctioneer finished speaking, the originally calm atmosphere in the hall suddenly became heated.
"Dong Qichang's running script, and is the 'Front and Back Chibi Fu' real or fake?"
"Although many of Dong Qichang's calligraphy works have been handed down from generation to generation, there are not many exquisite works. If this piece of running script "Red Cliff Fu Album" is authentic, then it must be won!"
At this time, Liu Dong was also shocked by the auctioneer's words.
Dong Qichang's achievements in calligraphy were higher than his achievements in painting. He was one of the most influential calligraphers in the Ming Dynasty. In particular, his achievements in running script and cursive script were even higher.
It is said that Kangxi personally wrote Dong's book, which made Dong's book popular for a while, and there was an upsurge of people all over the dynasty studying Dong's book. Almost all scholars who were chasing fame for a while took Dong's book as a shortcut to get official positions. During the reigns of Kangxi and Yongzheng
, the profound influence of his calligraphy is unmatched by other calligraphers.
Dong Qichang is one of the most influential calligraphers in the history of Chinese calligraphy. His calligraphy style and calligraphy theory have had a certain influence on later generations. He Sanwei, a calligraphy critic in the late Ming Dynasty, said Dong Qichang's calligraphy: "Innocent and brilliant, with a strong structure, often
There are books where the pen is not fully finished and the pen is not full of meaning. Dragons, snakes and clouds are flying between the wrists and fingers. This calligrapher is the best." Hundreds of years after Zhao Mengfu's charming and mature "pine snow style" dominated the calligraphy world, Dong Qichang
With his elegant and graceful style, he pioneered a unique way, established his own sect, and became a leader for a while. As a result, "people compete for the treasures of single slips" and "famous in foreign countries", which added brilliance to Sino-foreign cultural exchanges.
Of course, it is precisely because of these achievements in calligraphy and painting that the prices of Dong Qichang's calligraphy and painting works are so high. According to the current market price, the price of Dong Qichang's fine calligraphy and painting works will definitely not be less than 10 million.
But even so, Liu Dong was determined to take down this relic, which Yuan Guang had identified, and was indeed one of the authentic calligraphy works of Dong Qichang, the "Red Cliff Fu Book" before and after.
Anyway, he still has more than 35 million in the card. If he puts it in the card, it can increase in value if it is replaced by works of art. And he also likes it.
Thinking of this, Liu Dong no longer hesitated, and after Ma Lao pretended to appreciate the "Red Cliff Fu Album" before and after, he came back and sat down.
"Mr. Ma, I also like this Dong Qichang's original work, so I won't let you do it again!" When he made the two sketches of Xu Beihong a few times before, Liu Dong originally planned to take them all, but
Seeing that Mr. Ma also made another bid, Liu Dong gave up one of them.
"Haha, I know, you are a rich guy, so just feel free to bid when the time comes! We all rely on our abilities! However, we have agreed in advance that if you can win this authentic calligraphy of Dong Qichang,
Then if the old man comes to you and watches you, you can't refuse." Mr. Ma said with a cheerful smile.
"Don't worry about this. As long as you find me, you will never refuse!"
"With your words, I feel relieved!" (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
