Chapter 1042: Heaviest auction
At 12 o'clock in the morning, Sotheby's auction house auction hall.
Today’s ‘European Classical Art Special Auction’ is coming to an end, and the auction hall is still full of people and lively!
Regardless of whether there were gains or not, none of the many buyers on the scene left early. Not only that, but many people are coming here in a hurry, very excited.
After the previous rounds of competition and brewing, the atmosphere in the auction hall has become more and more popular, gradually reaching the highest point!
The emotions of everyone at the scene were extremely excited, staring at the auctioneer in front of him and the big screen on the scene with full of expectation.
At the same time, the smell of gunpowder in the air is getting stronger and stronger, and many buyers are ready to start a fierce fight that is destined to be extremely fierce.
Sitting in the middle of the first row, Ye Tian and Betty were also very excited, but compared to the others on the scene, they were much more relaxed, talking and laughing!
"Steven, can you tell me, what is the auction reserve price you set for this "Creating Adam"? With your behavior, there must be an auction reserve price.
Moma is not a rich man like you. If your reserve price is too high and out of our budget, then we don't have to compete, so as not to be embarrassed! "
Julian, who was sitting next to him, asked the probe, this is moma's curator and Ye Tian's old friend.
The reason why he appeared here is naturally for Michelangelo's "Creation of Adam", wanting to win this top-level artwork and add the most important treasure to moma!
Not only him, but most of the buyers in this auction hall came for this Michelangelo painting.
Even if some buyers do not have the strength to compete for this priceless treasure, they are still here, ready to participate in this competition!
They all hope to have a miracle, and hope that they are the lucky ones at that level and get this priceless treasure!
Because of this Michelangelo's pinnacle work, the classical paintings that have gradually been neglected over the years have once again attracted people's attention.
Naturally, this auction has become the hottest and most watched European classical art auction in recent years, and has become the focus of the antique art collection field and many media!
Ye Tian turned to look at Julian's side, chuckled and shook his head and said:
"You guessed it, Julian, I did set a reserve price for this Michelangelo's pinnacle work. This oil painting is too precious. I want to avoid any possibility of accidents!
But I can't disclose the specific amount of the reserve price now, it will be kept secret for now, you will know later! What I can tell you is that the reserve price of the auction truthfully reflects the value of this painting, only low, not high!
I don’t know what moma’s budget for this painting is, but you'd better end up in the competition! In this way, even if you lose to other buyers, I think you will not be too regretful! "
"It seems that someone is going to be severely slaughtered! I will end the bidding, with such a top-notch artwork in front of my eyes. If I don't fight for it, then I am not qualified to be the curator of moma!"
Julian said firmly, looking very confident and fighting spirit.
As soon as the voice fell, the auctioneer's passionate, high-pitched voice came from the stage, and instantly attracted the attention of everyone on the scene.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what will be auctioned next is the last lot of this European classicist art auction, and it is also the most important lot.
That is the pinnacle of painting art of the famous Italian painter, the three post-Renaissance masters, and Michelangelo, the "Creation of Adam" in the "Genesis" series! "
The enthusiastic shouts of the auctioneer resounded throughout the auction hall, and his voice was a little trembling when he was too excited.
At the same time, the door leading to the temporary safe at the back of the auction table opened again.
Two staff from Sotheby's auction house, carefully carrying Michelangelo's "Creation of Adam", walked out of the door and appeared in the auction hall.
A Sotheby's auction house executive and two armed security personnel waiting at the door immediately greeted them and escorted the priceless treasure to the auction table together!
"Papa Papa"
There was a thunderous bang, very warm.
Everyone on the scene stood up and gave their own applause for this pinnacle of Renaissance artist Michelangelo.
This is to applaud Michelangelo's art, but also to applaud himself, so that he can become more courageous and more fighting spirit to meet the fierce battle that is about to begin.
At the same time of enthusiastic applause, the eyes of many buyers at the scene and on the Internet have become more hot when looking at the painting. Everyone's emotions are very excited, and their eyes shine!
"Wow! This "Creation of Adam" is so perfect, it looks more refined and delicate than the ceiling painting of the Sistine Chapel! It is indeed a priceless treasure!"
"I finally waited for this baby to show up. It will soon become my personal treasure. This is why I came to New York! No one wants to take this baby from me!"
The sound of admiration kept ringing, one after another, flooding people's ears!
Everyone's eyes on the scene were following the Michelangelo's pinnacle work, and they couldn't bear to move away for a moment. Everyone was full of fighting spirit, and looked like they were sure to win.
The smell of gunpowder in the air became stronger, and throwing a match could detonate the audience, turning this auction hall into an active volcano erupting violently.
Soon, the two Sotheby's staff members carrying the painting walked to the auction stand, and carefully put the "Creating Adam" in their hands on the display shelf and displayed it in front of everyone.
Subsequently, the two staff members reluctantly turned and left, and stood at the door of the rear vault.
The Sotheby's auction house executive took two armed security personnel and immediately stood on both sides of the display shelf, nervously and excitedly protecting the priceless treasure on the display shelf, and did not dare to relax!
The warm applause lasted for two minutes, and finally stopped.
The auctioneer's passionate voice came from the stage, and he still trembled.
"Wow! This is really an incomparable top art piece of art, a veritable priceless treasure, full of sacred atmosphere, and fascinating!
Every time I see this piece of Michelangelo’s "The Creation of Adam", I will feel a sense of awe in my heart, which comes from the depths of my soul, the fear of God! "
With that said, the fifty-something white auctioneer almost drew a cross on his chest.
"Yes! The same is true for us. This "Creation of Adam" is the most perfect artwork and a gift from God to mankind! It is extremely precious!"
Many buyers at the scene responded in unison, and everyone revealed their piety and a sense of awe.
Those buyers from the major church organizations in the United States kept crossing their chests and praying in a low voice, very religious!
In the entire auction hall, there was only one exception, and that was Ye Tian.
At this moment, he had a brilliant smile on his face, and his eyes were only the desire for wealth, not piety, not to mention awe.
That is your God! It has nothing to do with buddies, buddies only care about the final sale price of this oil painting and whether it satisfies me!
If the transaction price satisfies the buddies and is above the auction reserve price, then the final winner can take this "Creation of Adam" away, take it back, and enjoy it slowly!
On the contrary, if the highest bid does not reach the auction reserve price, then I am sorry! This so-called gift from God to mankind has to be pressed in the hands of buddies, and no one wants to take it away.
After a short while, the high-pitched voice of the auctioneer came again.
"It is my honor to be able to host the auction of "Creating Adam". This is undoubtedly the most important moment in my auction career. It is the most important auction. It is worth remembering forever!
Here, I would like to thank Mr. Steven, thank him for presenting this Michelangelo's pinnacle work, and thank him for choosing Sotheby's auction house, that's what happened next! "
With that, the auctioneer raised his hand and gestured to Ye Tian who was under the stage.
Ye Tian also behaved very gracefully. He immediately turned around and raised his right hand, with a smile on his face, waved to everyone on the scene, then turned back to his body, and the auctioneer on the stage nodded!
"Papa Papa"
The applause sounded again, ebullient.
Everyone at the scene was applauding and sent enthusiastic applause to Ye Tian. Every applause was sincere and thankful!
It is almost unthinkable at the auction scene in the past ~www.wuxiaspot.com~! Ye Tian has never enjoyed such a courtesy before!
The reason why such a scene appears is of course because of the "Creation of Adam" because of its special significance.
Hearing these applause for himself, Ye Tian was somewhat embarrassed.
I hope you will thank me later instead of cursing buddies crazy! If you swear, don’t swear too viciously or too badly!
"Ladies and gentlemen, please sit down, and the auction will begin soon!"
The auctioneer said loudly, and his voice became higher a few times! ...
