The Warring States CuO gold and silver hunting pattern mirror is the most expensive one among the pieces taken by Hosokawa.
Its appearance means that the auction is coming to an end.
Lin Chen noticed that in this auction, there were several people who had never done anything.
Among them, he noticed earlier, Xiapu family's zaotianqiu.
These people came to hsikawa's house early in the morning and spent half a day. Naturally, they can't just watch hsikawa's collection.
Their goal, if not unexpected, should be the final collection of Hosokawa.
What kind of collection would make these people so serious?
Lin Chen is a little curious.
About ten minutes later, the truth finally came to light.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the next is my final collection of Hosokawa."
This time, completely different from before, Hosokawa sat up straight and personally auctioned the abbots.
He patted his palm gently, and then a kimono woman came over with a wooden box.
She opened the wooden box, which contained a folded picture.
"Everybody, this is the next auction..."
Before the scroll was opened, Lin Chen noticed that many people around him raised their heads and widened their eyes. Some even stood up and looked like facing the enemy.
Seeing the appearance of these people, even LV Li and Kong Lao could not help being curious.
"What's this collection? What do these people look like? "
"I don't know. It looks like a picture, doesn't it?"
In the sound of their doubts, the scroll was unfolded and spread on the tatami.
In this scroll, there is a water and ink landscape painting mounted.
As soon as I saw the true face of the painting, someone immediately called out: "snow boat! It's really a snow boat
"Professor, make sure! Is this the real snow boat? "
A group of islanders surrounded the painting, and almost surrounded it.
However, at this time, Hosokawa said with a smile: "you don't need to see, this is the real work of xuezhou, and it's also the real work of xuezhou and other Yang!"
"Snow boat waiting for Yang?" Kong Lao's face showed such an expression.
"No wonder these islanders are so excited. It's his work."
Lin Chen said strangely, "Mr. Kong, is xuezhou famous for waiting for Yang?"
"Of course! This is the most respected painter on the island
Xuezhou et al. Yang is a famous Zen monk painter in the later period of murmachi, and a master of Tang Feng's works. His real name is Xiaotian et al. After he became a monk, xuezhou became the master of xuezhou temple. He loved painting when he was young. At the age of 12, he converted to Buddhism and became a monk.
Later, xuezhou and other Yang went to China to learn the skills of Chinese landscape painting, and then on this basis, they carried out creative research and development, creating an island style ink landscape.
As a result, xuezhou and other Yang were honored as the painting saints in the island, and they were also the only islanders who were elected as the world's top ten cultural celebrities at the 1956 Vienna World Peace Conference.
His position in the hearts of the island people can be imagined.
The status of Yang xuezhou is so respected that the value of his works is naturally rising.
More importantly, Yang's works such as xuezhou are extremely rare.
Although there are more than 10000 landscape paintings that are said to be made by snow boats all over the world, only 30 of them are considered authentic.
Among the 30 authentic works, only five really belong to Yang's own works. The rest are his disciples or monks in his xuezhou Temple who imitate Yang's style and borrow his name.
"Mr. Nishikawa, there are only five known works of Yang, such as xuezhou, but this one doesn't belong to any of them. Is this the sixth one besides the five authentic ones?" Someone asked.
Hosokawa nodded: "yes, to tell you the truth, this painting was once exiled from the island to foreign countries and finally fell into a French Museum, but later, it was stolen and fell into my hands. Because it's stolen goods, I haven't made it public
"Mr. Nishikawa, it's very important. Can we identify this painting?"
Although Hosokawa explained the origin and development of the painting, he was still not sure.
Hosokawa then said with a smile: "although there is no need, since you are not at ease, please."
It was impossible for everyone to rush to identify this kind of thing, so the islanders at the scene recommended each other and invited a representative of an old man with white hair to identify the original snow boat.
Seeing the old man, Kong explained to Lin Chen, "this old man is the director of the Dongdu national strength Museum, Guofu Shuangliu. If it is his appraisal result, it should not be wrong."
Guofu Shuangliu observed the original snow boat for a long time, got up and said: "this painting is unique in artistic conception, mature and sophisticated in style. In my opinion, it's really the original snow boat! And it should be the best work of Yang in his later years, such as xuezhou! "
"Mr. Nishikawa, you have a big treasure at home!"
Hearing the judgment of the government's Shuang Liu, all the islanders present were greedy.
Xue Zhou and other Yang's authentic works, in their minds, are in fact the same status as the Warring States gold and silver hunting mirror in Confucius' mind, or even higher.
Because this is the national treasure of their island country!
The treasure of our country is in front of us. How can these islanders be indifferent?
What's more, after getting the works of xuezhou, many people just estimate the potential benefits they can get, and then they know what to choose.
Buy it!
Be sure to take this painting down!
With this idea in mind, after Hosokawa announced the start of the auction, the first person to bid directly called out the price of one billion yen.
Although some people called a billion at the beginning, others didn't flinch because of it, and the price calls came one after another.
Among them, there is Zaotian Qiu, who has never been involved before.
In addition to zaotianqiu, Li Xiuzhen of sansang also took the initiative for the first time when Lin Chen didn't make a bid.
It seems that their original goal is this painting.
See, Lin Chen also shot: "1.6 billion!"
"Lin Chen?" Kong was surprised that Lin Chen would take action at this time. He advised: "that's just the national treasure of the islanders. Your 1.6 billion yuan is too much! No matter how good Xue Zhou's paintings are, in terms of artistic value alone, there are many people in China who can match or even surpass Xue Zhou. It's not worth your money. "
But Lin Chen waved his hand and said, "it's OK, Kong Lao. I'm just fighting with people."
"For a breath?"
Kong turned to Li Xiuzhen and shook his head: "well, I really can't understand what happened to you young people."
