Chapter 2133: Surrealist Leonardo
The stall owner named Friedrich once again looked at the surrealist sculpture and then pondered for a moment before he gave an offer for the sculpture.
"Mr. Steven, the quotation for this sculpture is two hundred and fifty thousand euros. If you can accept this price, you can take away this very good surrealist sculpture."
After speaking, Friedrich looked at Ye Tian expectantly, looking forward to hearing the best answer, a little bit worried in his eyes.
Ye Tian was stunned for a moment, then shook his head helplessly.
"Wow! Two hundred and fifty thousand euros. It seems that this bronze sculpture must be a masterpiece with extraordinary artistic value. Unfortunately, I cannot accept this price. It seems that I am destined to have no relationship with this sculpture."
Hearing this, Friedrich's face immediately flashed disappointment, and a little regret appeared in his eyes.
He knew in his heart that he was too eager for success, too greedy, and the price was too high. As a result, the **** on the opposite side would not take any action at all, and he didn't even have the desire to counter-offer.
I had known this a long time ago, the price quoted just now should be lower, maybe I can deal with this weird sculpture that has been in my hands for a long time.
Just when Friedrich secretly regretted himself, Ye Tian had already looked at the other so-called antique works of art in the booth, completely aside the surrealist sculpture, and did not take another look.
Next, he asked about the prices of several items one after another, but because of the high price offered by the stall owner, he didn't win one.
Afterwards, he took David and the others out of the stall and walked to a small antique shop not far away, without any nostalgia or dismay.
"Hey--!"
As Ye Tian and the others left, a sigh immediately sounded around Friedrich's booth, coming from the crowd watching the excitement.
Immediately afterwards, these onlookers quickly dispersed.
Some people continue to follow Ye Tian and the others, ready to watch the excitement, and by the way, see if there is any cheaper to pick up, or if you can't eat meat and drink some soup!
Others left scattered and went to the flea market to see if they could find any treasures.
The few antique works of art or so-called antique works of art that Ye Tian had just inquired about at Friedrich's booth had no one to take care of, and they didn't even have the interest to take a second look.
In their opinion, since the guy Steven thinks that the quotations of the so-called antique artworks are too high and not worth buying, the value of the so-called antique artworks can be imagined.
Besides, Steven’s cunning **** just asked about the quotations of seven or eight goods. Who knows if there are any pitfalls in it, so it’s better to stay away to avoid being cheated.
But where did these onlookers know what kind of opportunity they missed.
While talking, Ye Tian and his party had already arrived at the door of that small antique shop.
When they got here, they stopped suddenly, and did not directly push the door into the antique shop, but with great interest they admired several paintings and so-called antique cultural relics displayed in the window.
With the cover of the security personnel behind him and the concealment of the antique shop window in front of him, Ye Tian quietly turned on the miniature microphone of the wireless invisible headset and said in a low voice:
"Cole, you inform Rudy who is in the crowd, let him take the shot in half an hour, and take down the surrealist sculpture just now, the price cannot exceed 5,000 euros.
Rudy is of German origin and can speak fluent German. When he came out to buy the sculpture, remember to use German instead of American English. That would be revealing."
"Understood, Steven, I will let Rudy know"
Cole responded in a low voice, with excitement in his words.
As soon as his words fell, David, standing beside Ye Tian, immediately asked in a low voice excitedly:
"Steven, who is the famous sculptor's work for that surrealist sculpture? Isn't it valuable?"
Ye Tian didn't turn his head to look at David, still admiring a painting in the window before him, and said in a low voice:
"Yes, David, that surrealist sculpture is indeed worth a lot, at least 15 million U.S. dollars. If not, I won't let Rudy take down the sculpture.
Although there is no author’s signature on the sculpture, I’m sure that it is definitely a work by a surrealist master, a famous German French painter, sculptor, and Max Ernst"
"Wow! It is actually a sculpture by Max Ernst. I know that this top art master has a lot of his works in the Guggenheim Museum in New York."
David exclaimed directly. Fortunately, his voice was very low and his expression was not too exaggerated. Others did not notice.
Ye Tian nodded lightly, and then continued:
"Max Ernst is hailed as the'Da Vinci of Surrealism.' Both in Dadaism and Surrealism art, he is in a dominant position, and he is the soul of these two art schools.
The rich and boundless imagination, the sense of absurdity for the world, and the dreamlike poetic atmosphere of Germanic romanticism and illusory art that he displayed have surprised the world.
In terms of artistic creation, Max Ernst is a tireless inventor. He is constantly updating his performance techniques and is famous for his extremely varied artistic style and performance skills.
He uses various artistic techniques such as collage, friction, rubbing and scratching to create a changeable and colorful illusory world, and is known as a disruptive and innovative artist.
After the end of the First World War and retiring from the German army, Max Ernst founded the Cologne Dada Group in his hometown of Cologne and plunged himself into the embrace of the Dada art movement.
In 1922, Max Ernst moved to Paris. During his stay in Paris, he formally joined the surrealist art school and quickly became the soul of surrealist art.
During World War II, Max Ernst moved to New York in order to avoid the war, lived in New York for a long time, and created many works in New York.
Not only the Guggenheim Museum in New York, but almost all major museums in New York have collections of Max Ernst's works. His works are extremely popular in the American antique art market.
The surrealist sculpture just now ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ is a work created by Max Ernst during his time in New York, which shows the struggling and painful and desperate German people under Nacui's rule.
Compared with the paintings, Max Ernst did not create many sculptures. Each piece is of great value. Coupled with the heavy theme of the sculpture, its value is even higher."
"I hope Rudy can successfully take down the sculpture and turn five thousand euros into 15 million dollars. That would be perfect."
David smiled and said in a low voice, full of envy.
Next, they chatted a few words in a low voice, and then walked to the door of the antique shop, opened the door and walked into the small antique shop.
About fifteen minutes later, Ye Tian and his party just came out of this antique shop and walked to another antique stall not far away.
At this time, they had an extra antique artwork in their hands. It was a painting, housed in a black telescopic painting tube.
