The first four rounds of bidding for "Wuyi Rain Alley" went smoothly.
Every time Ye Tian, who was standing behind the auction stage, shouted an offer, the audience would raise Rulin's arm, and the audience gathered, and the scene was extremely lively.
In a blink of an eye, the auction of "Wuyi Rain Alley" has reached the fifth round of bidding, which is the free bidding stage. The bid for this painting by Master Fu Baoshi has exceeded RMB 50,000.
As the auction progressed, the atmosphere on the scene became more and more popular.
Everyone who is eligible to participate in the bidding is gearing up, just waiting for the free bidding stage to come, and then quote the price they secretly set, and win this valuable painting in one fell swoop.
Ye Tian, who stood behind the auction table, did not immediately announce the start of free bidding, but smiled and said loudly:
" Again, I would like to remind everyone that in the next fifth round of bidding, everyone has only one chance to bid, so please consider carefully before bidding again.
Everyone’s asking price is not as high as possible. Once the asking price exceeds the upper limit of the transaction price, it will be regarded as an invalid asking price, that is to say, this painting has no chance with you.
The reason for this is very simple. This is a charity auction, not an ordinary auction that seeks to maximize profits. I also have to consider everyone's financial endurance.
Once the price is called out, it cannot be changed, a one-shot sale! I, my staff, and notaries will supervise each other, and please supervise each other! "
"Understood, Xiaotian, don't worry, our buddy won't be so bad!"
Dawei and Huazi under the stage responded loudly, and the other guests also nodded, and no one raised different opinions.
Ye Tian nodded slightly, then said with a smile on his face:
"That couldn't be better! In the fourth round of quotation just now, many people accepted the price of 50,000 yuan, and now they start free bidding based on 50,000 yuan.
In order to facilitate statistics, let’s come from one table to the next, and the on-site camera will record the whole process, and I will announce the results after all the buyers participating in the auction give their quotations.
Then, the notary public will announce the upper limit of the transaction price to ensure openness and transparency. Who can photograph this master Fu Baoshi's "Wuyi Rain Alley", the answer will be released soon.
My family will not participate in the auction. The rest of the people will give quotations in turn from front to back, from left to right. Uncle Fang, let’s start with your table.”
As he said, Ye Tian raised his hand at a dining table on the left side of the stage in the first row of the banquet hall, and made a gesture of please.
At the same time, the on-site camera lens was also aimed at this dining table, giving this dining table a close-up shot.
The other guests in the banquet hall all looked over here, ready to hear what the quotations would be given by the few sitting at this table, so I could follow up.
"Okay, Xiaotian, we are welcome. This "Wuyi Rain Alley" is indeed very beautiful, and it is a masterpiece. I really want to accept it, but I don’t know if it can be achieved. I gave it The price is 150,000 yuan!"
Uncle Fang, who was sitting at the table below the stage, nodded and said, and gave his own quotation, looking forward to it, and quite excited.
Following Uncle Fang, several other guests who were also sitting at this table gave their respective quotations one after another, and everyone’s eyes were full of expectations.
Next are guests sitting at the second table, guests sitting at the third table, fourth, fifth, ....
Within three to five minutes, guests who are interested in competing for this "Wuyi Rain Alley" have all offered quotations, ranging from tens of thousands to 300,000 yuan, and everyone is still relatively conservative.
Of course, this does not include professionals who look jealous but cannot participate in the bidding.
If they get involved, the quotes they give will be far from the case, and they will definitely catch their eyes.
The bidding is over, just wait for the result.
Without exception, everyone at the scene looked at Ye Tian, and everyone's eyes were extremely hot and full of expectations.
Ye Tian, who stood behind the auction table, did not continue to appetite everyone, but directly announced the answer.
"The free bidding is over. I have been listening to the quotations made by everyone just now. I have to say that everyone is really generous and enthusiastic. Here I want to thank you for your active participation.
Now the bidding results are announced. Please stand up and let the buyer who quoted 99,850 yuan stand up and let everyone see who you are. This painting of Master Fu Baoshi's "Wuyi Rain Alley" belongs to you"
Before the voice fell, there was already an excited cheer.
"Ah! That's the offer I gave, which is great!"
Accompanied by cheers, a slightly rich woman about fifty years old quickly got up from her seat and gently covered her mouth with her hand, her face full of ecstasy.
This aunt Ye Tian knows her. She is a colleague of her mother and a university teacher. She lives in the community near the Xicheng Guanyuan and is a neighbor of Ye Tian's family.
"Auntie Ding, congratulations, for successfully winning this master Fu Baoshi "Wuyi Rain Alley", I have to say that the quote you gave is very accurate and admirable!"
Ye Tian smiled and said loudly, and directly announced the bidding results.
In the next instant, the banquet hall was directly boiling.
Although I knew that someone would win the bid and take this "Wuyi Rain Alley", when the results were released, everyone was still shocked by it and they started talking.
"This is a masterpiece. I thought Ye Tian set the upper limit of the transaction price to hundreds of thousands of yuan, but who knew it was only about 100,000 yuan, it was a miscalculation!"
"Yes! This painting by Master Fu Baoshi is nowhere to be seen, but I don't believe it anymore. The remaining nine antique works of art are all missed by my buddies?"
While there was a lot of discussion, everyone looked at the final winner enviously, wishing to take his place and take the painting of Master Fu Baoshi into his arms and take it for himself.
Looking at the teacher Ding at this time, she was already dancing with excitement. She celebrated with her friends around her. She also deliberately left the meeting and walked to Ye Tian's mother, giving her a hug.
Next, a notary sitting in the notary stand stood up, took the microphone, and announced the auction price limit set by Ye Tian for this "Wuyi Rain Alley".
The upper limit of the transaction price set by him is 99,860 yuan, which is only ten yuan higher than Aunt Ding's quotation, so Ye Tiancai said that the quotation given by Aunt Ding is very accurate.
As for the quotations given by other competitors, except for a few that are lower than Aunt Ding’s quotations, most of them are higher than the upper limit of the transaction price, and all have become invalid quotations!
With the announcement of the upper limit of the transaction price, a sigh immediately sounded at the scene, and every voice was full of regret.
As for Aunt Ding who won the bid, she took a breath of air-conditioning, and she secretly thanked her!
Whether it is secretly sighing or cheering, everyone is more sure about one thing at this time. Ye Tian is changing his way to help everyone, so the transaction price is limited so low.
Thinking of this, everyone already knows and feels more confident about how to bid for the nine antique artworks that will be unveiled next time!
The auction of the first antique artwork has been successfully concluded without any problems with the process and results.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian told the two employees of the company to take out the second antique artwork that was auctioned off, show it to everyone, and start the auction.
After that, the two cultural blog staff took a black painting bag and took out a painting from it.
This is a Western artwork. It is an oil painting on canvas. The size is small, it is over 40 cm wide and about 60 cm high. It is inlaid in a simple style solid wood picture frame.
The painting uses gold as the background shading. The painter uses various colors and lines to place different figures on the rectangular picture.
The flowing curves in the painting, as well as the bright or dark characters, make the whole picture full of vitality.
At first glance, this oil on canvas looks more like a decorative painting, with strong color contrast, full of colorful large color blocks, gorgeous and unusual, and it brings a strong visual impact!
On this small canvas, the artist skillfully uses different curve changes and color blocks to form a pattern-like picture, with realism in the decoration and concreteness in the abstract.
It can be seen from this that the painter’s style is quite unique, and it also shows the painter’s brilliant painting skills When this painting is presented in front of everyone and on the big screen TV, The banquet hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone was seriously admiring the painting.
But this is a typical Western art work, and the style of painting is very unique, and the art genre it belongs to is relatively remote.
So for a while, everyone looked at it at a loss, but felt that this painting was very good, but the specifics are good, but I can’t say it!
After a while, there was a sound of discussion on the scene, from those professionals in the industry.
"This should be a symbolist painting. It looks good, but the specific works of the Western artist are unknown!"
"Yes, this kind of formal pursuit of magnificent stacking and decorative effects is the distinguishing feature of symbolism!"
Just as everyone was talking in low voices and secretly guessing, Ye Tianqinglang's voice was again uploaded from the stage and reached the ears of everyone on the scene.
"The painting you are seeing now is a symbolist work, a painting by the famous Austrian painter and founder of the Vienna Secessionist Gustav Klimt.
This symbolist painting was discovered by Betty and I at a local antique market in Nice during our honeymoon in Nice, France. We then accepted it and brought it back to New York, USA.
As for Symbolism, for the Viennese Secession, for the famous painter Gustav Klimt, you may not know very well, I think it is necessary to make a brief introduction,..."
