"The Resurgence of Tulips" was the centerpiece of the day, a painting executed entirely in oil, showcasing brilliant and ever-changing colors, with minutely detailed and vibrant imagery. It was included in the auction, with a starting bid of 500,000 dollars and a requirement that each subsequent bid increase by no less than 20,000 dollars. York Brimstone confidently expected that this piece would fetch at least over 1 million dollars.
At this moment, a number of masters of the art world were gathered around York Brimstone. His work was displayed in a designated area, encircled with ropes, with two sturdy security guards stationed by the barrier.
William glanced at the painting on the wall and nonchalantly commented, "It's not bad."
"Not bad?" York Brimstone nearly burst into laughter.
The surrounding artists also displayed mocking smiles.
