Chapter 1223: Hudson River School
After a while, Robert woke up.
"Steven, I know that you are the world's top professional treasure hunter and the top antique art appraisal expert. You have discovered countless top artworks and have many priceless treasures.
Since you said that this landscape oil painting is a very good work of art, it must be right! However, I don't know anything about the value of this landscape oil painting. If possible, I hope you can tell me about it.
The origin of this landscape oil painting is not complicated. About eleven years ago, my wife went to the Hell's Kitchen flea market. She saw this oil painting and thought it was very beautiful, so she bought it for $50.
From then until now, this landscape oil painting has been hung in the living room of this apartment. No one realized that it turned out to be a valuable work of art. It is incredible!
I don’t know who bought this landscape oil painting from, but my wife may remember it, but unfortunately, she went to the night shift today and won’t be able to go home tomorrow morning.”
Robert said excitedly, his eyes full of expectation, his eyes fixed on Ye Tian, looking forward to hearing the perfect answer.
This guy is also relatively savvy. He didn't say whether to sell this landscape oil painting, but was asking for information about this oil painting.
Although Ye Tian liked this landscape oil painting, he didn't like it to the point where he had to win it. In addition, because of the special circumstances today, he didn't have the time and mood to detour.
Hearing Robert's question like this, he began to explain the painting to the other party.
"Robert, your wife is so lucky! To pick up such a big leak at the Hell's Kitchen Flea Market, it is no exaggeration to say that this landscape painting is enough to change your destiny.
This is a landscape oil painting of the Hudson River School. It has superb painting skills, delicate brushwork, flexible and natural, and has extraordinary artistic value. It is one of the outstanding representative works of the Hudson River School.
You may not know the Hudson River School. It was a famous school that was active in the 1920s and 1980s. It was named for its ability to depict the scenery of the Hudson River Valley in New York.
The Hudson River School is good at depicting the vast and magnificent landscapes of the New World with realistic brushstrokes, showing the beauty and grandeur of nature, and has a very important position in the history of American art.
It was the first art genre with a distinctive ‘American’ mark, marking that American art began to break away from European influence and gradually revealed its own character, so it is also known as the American Landscape School.
It can be said that the Hudson River School is the originator of all American painting art schools. After the exchange and collision with various painting art schools from Europe, the famous New York School of painting came into being. ..
Many painters of the Hudson River School are well-known figures in American art history. Some of these famous painters are the founders and founders of the Metropolitan Museum of New York.
The oil painting in front of me is depicting the Hudson River scenery. The colors are bright and vivid, and the style is fresher than European realism paintings. It has a real texture and makes people feel like they are on the scene.
I have identified that this Hudson River landscape oil painting was created around the 1960s. The artist who created this painting is named Hart, and he is one of the most famous and representative painters of the Hudson River School.
You may not know Hart, the Hudson River School painter, but if you have visited the White House, you must have seen his work, which is the "Mountain Lake" hanging in the White House Map Room!
That is a famous painting by Hart in 858. In addition, we can see Hart's works in the Metropolitan Museum of New York, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, and many other famous museums.
In my opinion, the Hudson River landscape oil painting in front of me is even better than the "Mountain Lake" in the Map Room of the White House, and it represents Hart's art and painting level. It is very rare!
Okay, Robert, time is limited. Regarding this Hudson River landscape oil painting, I can only explain it to this point. Still the sentence just now, would you like to transfer this oil painting? I intend to accept it!
If you are willing to transfer, I will immediately contact the company staff and my personal lawyer, let them contact you, and complete the art transaction at any time, even tonight.
Ye Tian explained this landscape oil painting in detail, and again made a purchase request.
If possible, he still wants to take down this landscape oil painting. Since he happened to run into this painting by chance, it would be a shame to miss it!
If the other party refuses, it doesn't matter. The main purpose of this trip to Hell's Kitchen was originally not for this painting, and there is nothing to regret!
Robert at this time, his face flushed with excitement, his eyes were shining straight, but fortunately his health looked pretty good, so he passed away without excitement!
The rest of the people at the scene were also very excited, their eyes full of envy when they looked at Robert, and they all admired the good luck of this guy!
For only 50 US dollars, I actually bought such a precious piece of art! Can it be envied?
The eyes they looked at Ye Tian were full of admiration.
Sure enough, it deserves its reputation! Steven's vision is really sharp, no matter what level or where the antique works of art come from, don't even want to escape his eyes!
"I have been to the White House and saw the "Mountain and Lake" in the map room. I didn't expect that this oil painting is actually Hart's work, and it is even better than that. It's great!"
Robert said with excitement, his voice trembling, his eyes fixed on the oil painting on the wall, his eyes could not bear to move away.
He was afraid that as soon as he looked away, the landscape oil painting on the wall would disappear. It was a huge fortune! It is also the hope for my family to leave the hell's kitchen and start a new life.
Seeing Robert's almost crazy appearance, Ye Tian just stood with a smile on his face, and did not disturb this guy.
It took about a minute before Robert woke up.
After taking a few deep breaths and calming down a bit, the guy immediately said excitedly:
"Steven, thank you very much for your appraisal and explanation. You are worthy of being the top antique art appraisal expert. The explanation is too professional and convincing. It really deserves your reputation!
As for whether to sell this Hudson River landscape oil painting, I cannot give you a definite answer for the time being. I'm very sorry, I have to discuss it with my wife before I can make a decision!
Besides, she bought this landscape oil painting, so she must ask her for advice on how to deal with it. Even if it is sold to you, she needs to nod her head and agree. I hope you can understand! "
"It's okay, I can wait. If you decide to sell this oil painting to me, you can contact me at any time. If you don't plan to sell it to me, it doesn't matter."
Ye Tian said with a light smile, his expression was very natural and he couldn't see anything unusual.
Seeing his performance, Robert couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and relax a lot.
At this time, he had already begun to worry about gains and losses, lest Ye Tianqiang would buy and sell, or use some insidious trick to steal this valuable artwork from his hands.
But after thinking about it carefully, he dispelled his concerns in this regard.
As a native of New York, he has heard something about Ye Tian. He knows that although Ye Tian is known for his cruelty in the business field, he has never acted like buying or selling, and everyone knows this!
Even if this guy cheats people or picks up leaks, he still uses the crushing advantage of professional knowledge and unique and sharp vision to dig holes for his opponent to jump or pick up leaks!
Those guys who had suffered a great loss in his hands, although very depressed, everyone hated the itching of their teeth, but they were helpless, they could only smash their teeth and swallow in their stomachs, and could only blame themselves for their inferior skills!
After adjusting his mood quickly, Robert asked expectantly:
"Steven, I take the liberty to ask, what is your valuation for this landscape oil painting? Can you tell me something? I really want to know!"
Not only him, but the rest of the scene also want to know the answer to this question.
Everyone turned their heads to look at Ye Tian, looking forward to hearing his answer.
Ye Tian nodded lightly, then smiled and said:
"There is nothing to say ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Because of the important position of the Hudson River School in American art history, the works of several famous painters in this school have always been sought after in the American art market.
Especially in New York, because of the geographical relationship, these paintings depicting the scenery of the Hudson River Valley are enthusiastically pursued by many top collectors in New York and surrounding areas, and can be said to be very popular.
Based on my understanding of the current antique art market, the market value of this landscape oil painting should be between 8 million and 10 million U.S. dollars. If it goes to auction, it may be able to sell for a higher price!
The only pity is that the preservation of this landscape oil painting is not very good, and the painting is a bit chapped. If not, its market value must exceed 10 million US dollars. There is no doubt about it! "
Before the words were over, this little living room was completely boiling.
"Eight million to ten million dollars, my God! What a fortune it is, it's crazy, it's just like a dream!"
Robert hugged his head directly and exclaimed, the whole person was almost crazy.
