After a few jokes, Ye Tian entered the topic.
"Gentlemen, you can come to appreciate and appraise these two top famous paintings. I believe they will bring you huge surprises and let everyone feel the extraordinary charm of top art works.
In these two top oil paintings, we can see and deeply appreciate the brilliant painting skills and outstanding artistic attainments of the two top art masters of the late Renaissance!
In order to facilitate everyone's appreciation and identification, we have specially prepared magnifying glasses and other equipment, which you can take and use at will."
After speaking, Ye Tian gestured to please, and then stepped aside.
At the same time, Matisse came over with a magnifying glass and other auxiliary identification equipment and placed it on the table next to it.
Everyone at the scene was already impatient to wait. As soon as Ye Tian stepped aside from the two top oil paintings, they immediately rushed up, vying for the first time!
Fortunately, everyone is on the scene, although the mood is very urgent, but they can't be too depressed.
Order was quickly restored at the scene, everyone began to line up to admire and appraise, everyone was very excited and full of expectations!
When these famous collectors and art dealers stood in front of the two top oil paintings, there was a sound of admiration in the suite.
"It's so beautiful! This is indeed Titian's "Landscape of Venice". Both the painting skills and the artistic expression are of top level, and it is not different from what is recorded in the literature!"
"Transformed characters, distorted natural scenery, melancholy and sadness, unstoppable passion! There is no doubt that this is the work of El Greco at his peak!"
Although these famous collectors and art brokers may not be experts in antique art appraisal, they have seen, contacted, and even owned too many top art works!
Under the influence of ears and eyes, their artistic literacy has naturally improved, far exceeding that of ordinary people!
Through some external information displayed by the artwork, they can basically judge the authenticity and value of the artwork, and the accuracy rate is quite high!
Listening to their comments and praise, Ye Tian couldn't help but chuckle, his eyes full of confidence.
This is of course the real work of Titian and Greco, there is no doubt about it!
Ten minutes passed quickly. After the first wave of collectors and art dealers finished their appraisal, they walked to the side, and the second wave immediately stepped forward to fill their positions.
The few guys who completed the appraisal quickly walked to Ye Tian and began to discuss with him the price of the two top oil paintings and other issues.
"Steven, at what price are you going to sell these two top oil paintings? Let's just listen, we might be mentally prepared!"
The old friend Pete asked, this is a top collector from New York who knows Ye Tian very well.
"Yes, Steven, give us an approximate price, so that we can be confident that if exceed the budget, we will discuss it with the employer!"
This time it was a well-known art dealer who was also an old friend from New York.
The employer he represents is the richest man in France and Bernard, the owner of Louis Vuitton.
The matter has reached this point, and there is nothing to hide.
Ye Tian nodded, then smiled and threw out two shock bombs, which directly stunned everyone on the scene!
"Pete, Williams, as you wish, Titian's "Landscape of Venice" has a starting price of US$300 million. Without this number, let's not talk about it! Greco's oil painting starts at US$30 million!"
Before the voice was over, the scene immediately exploded.
"What? "Landscape of Venice" will start at $300 million! Steven, I heard that right? This is too crazy! The lion's big mouth is not enough to describe your greed! Why don't you grab it?"
"Yes! Steven, you refreshed my knowledge again. I have never seen a greedy guy like you! You are stabs at the aorta! There is no plan to let us leave alive!"
Everyone at the scene was completely shocked, everyone looked at Ye Tian dumbfounded, eyes full of incredible and crazy!
In addition to the shock, everyone hated it so much that they really wanted to rush up to beat up the guy in front of them. They couldn't take care of themselves when they were beaten up. Only then can they get rid of their hatred!
This bastard is so dark, he is definitely the biggest robber in the field of antique art collection!
Ye Tian turned a deaf ear to these exclaims and even condemnation, and didn't pay any attention at all.
After everyone calmed down, Ye Tian pointed to the door of the suite, then smiled and said:
"Can't accept this price? I'm very sorry. You are destined to miss these two top art works. You can leave now. The door is over there.
I believe this is the wisest choice, lest you see them fall into the hands of others when the auction starts later, and you will regret it, or even want to die!"
Is anyone willing to leave early? of course not!
What are they doing here? Isn't it just for these two top artworks? If they didn't even participate in the bidding, and they just went home, wouldn't it be a waste of time to rush it?
Although they seem to be angrily condemning Ye Tian, everyone knows in their hearts that these two top-level paintings are absolutely worth this price, and it is normal to start at higher prices!
The reason for condemning, pretending to be angry, is because there is no cheap money, everyone is a little bit depressed in their hearts, just vent their emotions!
"Steven, you are such a complete bastard, you have to drain every penny in our pockets to be reconciled! What a cruel!"
Pete grinned and cursed badly, his face full of helplessness.
"God is really blind! How did these two top artworks fall into your hands! Is there any reason to speak?"
Another art dealer said angrily, his teeth clenched.
"Gentlemen, "Landscape of Venice" is Titian's peak work, with extraordinary artistic value and clear written records, not to mention that it has been missing for three hundred years, adding a bit of mystery and legend!
Is there such a top art market in the market? As far as I know, none of them! Several famous museums have similar, but they are all treasures of the town hall, and there is no possibility that they will enter the market!
Is the starting price of $300 million for such an extremely rare top art piece of art high? In my opinion, this price is not high, but rather low. I am still considering whether it should be raised a little bit more!
The same is true for Greco's oil painting. His peak works are also very rare in the market, and can only be seen in museums. I think the starting price of 30 million US dollars is also very reasonable!"
"Yes! It's all your guy's truth, we only have to stretch our necks and get slaughtered. It's so irritating, this world is so unfair!"
Norman complained angrily, but his eyes were full of fighting spirit, waiting for the auction to begin!
The appreciation and appraisal continued, and the people in front of the two top oil paintings kept rotating.
