Chapter 437: miracle
The "Impressionism and Modern Art" auction is about to end.
The auction of the last lot, "The Boy in Red" has reached the final stage, and the result will be released soon!
Just like the scene at the auction of "Mount Saint Victor", "The Boy in Red" is now on display for everyone to enjoy.
The detailed pictures of this oil painting and other related information are simultaneously displayed on the big screen, which is very detailed enough to give people a comprehensive understanding of this top oil painting.
On the auction stage, an FBI armed secret service and a Sotheby's armed security guard stood on both sides of the display stand, guarding this top-level oil painting with great vigilance.
The rest of the security personnel in the hall are also on high alert, staring at the top oil paintings on the auction stage, as well as the numerous bidders on site, ready to respond at any time.
All the bidders on the scene stood in place, excitedly watching the exciting and fierce price fight being staged in front of them, fascinated!
Although this has nothing to do with most people, they are just bystanders!
Exclamation, applause, and discussion continue to sound in the auction hall, and the sound is louder than once, and it almost lifts the ceiling here!
Everyone's eyes lighted with excitement, staring at everything that happened before them, not letting go of any detail.
I am witnessing history and a rare miracle in the history of world art auctions! Everyone in the auction hall is very convinced of this.
The difference is that John's price quoted is different! The competitors are different! The intensity of bidding is also different!
The auction price of this "The Boy in a Red Vest" is higher, there are more competitors in the final stage, and the competition between each other is more intense!
At this time, the asking price of "The Boy in a Red Vest" has reached 182 million U.S. dollars, surpassing "San Victor Mountain" and successfully ranked third in the world's art auction history!
There are only three contenders left for this top oil painting, each of which is extremely powerful!
The richest man in Mexico, Carlos Slam; the largest buyer in the world's top art market, the royal family of Qatar; and a mysterious buyer who bid by phone! It must have an extraordinary origin!
After a round of enthusiastic applause, there was a lot of discussion in the auction hall.
Everyone was enthusiastic and enthusiastic discussing what was happening before them.
"This special sale is too exaggerated! The two top oil paintings, the third and fourth in art auction history, appeared in the same auction! They belonged to the same person! It was incredible!"
"If I hadn't witnessed it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it would happen if I was killed! It's almost like a fantasy! But it's true. Steven's **** is definitely the darling of God! Undoubtedly!"
Standing in the first row of the auction hall, Ye Tian and Jason's excited faces were red, their eyes shining straight, staring at the situation on the auction stage, and their eyelids were reluctant to blink!
They were also whispering, eyebrows flying all over the sky!
"Steven, can this "The Boy in the Red Vest" surpass "The Card Player" and take the second place in the world's art auction history?
Or even further, can it surpass Gauguin's "When Are You Married" and win the world's number one throne? If it can, it would be perfect! "
Jason asked excitedly and nervously, this kid is obviously very ambitious!
The price has soared to this point, and the world's No. 1 throne is not unpredictable, it is indeed the most perfect result!
Although this oil painting does not belong to Jason, he is also different from Yourong!
"I don't know, I'm very satisfied with the current price! What's the next price trend, just let it go! Of course, I also hope to get more surprises!"
Ye Tian smiled and said in a low voice, rare to be humble!
Indeed, for the auction results and process of these two top oil paintings, he is already satisfied and can no longer be satisfied! I dare not ask for more!
The price sold just now has more than doubled his expectations!
Moreover, "The Boy in a Red Vest" has not yet been sold, and the price is still rising continuously, and it is still creating even greater miracles. Everything is possible!
What I can do now is to enjoy the joy of success, wait for the moment the hammer is closed, and then you can cheer and celebrate!
"No. 203 has a price of 182 million U.S. dollars. A mysterious buyer from a telephone bidding bid. The current price is 187 million U.S. dollars, 187 million. That lady or gentleman should offer ?......"
John raised his hand and gestured towards the telephone bidding side, and continued to shout passionately.
At this time, his eyes were only staring in two directions, and he didn't pay attention to other places at all.
One is the location of Carlos Art Collection Consultant, and the other is the direction of Prince Hassan and Princess Mayasa.
There are only two players left on the scene, and other competitors have been cleared out!
Carlos' art collection consultant shook his head with a chuckle, put away the bidding number plate, and announced that he had withdrawn from the competition!
Obviously, the richest man in Mexico is satisfied with receiving a painting of "San Victor Mountain", and did not intend to catch the two top oil paintings in one go and collect them all!
Seeing the most threatening competitor withdraw, Princess Mayasa could not help but sighed in secret.
Then, she immediately whispered to Prince Hassan:
"Hassan, the bid is 190 million US dollars. There is only one opponent left. We must win this top oil painting. We must not lose to the guy who bids on the phone!
I don't know who this guy is? Bernard in France? Or Abu of Russia? Or the super rich man in China? No matter who it is, he will go home today! "
"Yes! This top oil painting belongs to our Qatar royal family! No one can take it away!"
Hasan replied in a deep voice, his tone extremely confident!
Immediately afterwards, he immediately raised the bidding number plate in his hand and shouted:
"190 million dollars, John!"
"Papa Papa"
The applause sounded again, warm and lasting.
Following that, there were exclamations all over the audience!
"Wow! It's about to break through 200 million US dollars, this is a certainty!"
"Over 200 million US dollars of art, only two have appeared at auction before. There is no doubt that the third one will appear today. This is a crazy day!"
As you might expect, "The Boy in a Red Vest" soon broke through the $200 million moat and jumped to a higher level!
It was the mysterious buyer who bid on the phone!
When the bid of $200 million came, the auction hall immediately burst into applause like a tsunami, as hot and hot as a volcanic eruption!
At the same time, there were countless cheers.
Many people in the auction hall burst into bright smiles! All celebrating!
Everyone is celebrating that they have witnessed the miracle in auction history and experienced the great charm of art! Many people even have Rong Yan! Thank you for being here!
Of course, the craziest and most presumptuous celebration is the owner of this top oil painting, Ye Tian!
He and Jason first gave a loud volley high-five, and then burst into laughter. The laughter was so hearty that many people at the scene were envious of their eyes flushed, and they wanted to replace it!
200 million US dollars of top art! There are only three in the history of world art auctions!
Even if you include private art transactions, such as De Kooning's "Exchange" worth $300 million, Pollock's "17a" worth $200 million, and so on, there are no more than 10 transactions over $200 million.
Without exception, these artworks are all made by the top artists, and they are well-deserved top artworks. They deserve the warmest applause and the most sincere cheers!
The applause and cheers soon fell, and the competition continued.
The auction price of "The Boy in a Red Vest" is still rising rapidly, unstoppable!
Everyone is looking forward to the miracles that will continue to be staged, and looking forward to this top oil painting bravely, breaking through the two mountains in one fell swoop, and winning the world's first throne in auction history!
However, not everything can be achieved! Everyone's expectations fell through!
When the price of this oil painting soared to 255 million U.S. dollars, the mysterious buyer of the telephone bidding began to hesitate, without giving instructions for a long time.
In the end, he chose to give up and withdrew from this exciting and fierce competition!
The Sotheby's staff who answered the phone shook his head slightly and announced the end of the auction.
"Hey!"
There was a sigh in the auction hall. Everyone was sighing for not being able to do so. The miracle could not continue and it stopped!
Regret is just moments!
In a blink of an eye, everyone realized that they were very lucky to have witnessed a great and almost impossible miracle in the history of world art auctions!
In an art auction, two top oil paintings were shot, one for US$180 million and the other for US$255 million! Ranked third and fourth in auction history! This is a miracle!
Moreover, these two top oil paintings are by the same artist, and they are the works of the French post-impressionist painter Paul Cezanne!
According to the latest world art auction transaction records, three of the top five artworks are all his oil paintings. This is incredible!
There is no doubt that Paul Cézanne is now the world's top artist with the most market appeal!
On this point, the market has already given the best answer, no one can doubt it!
More importantly, these two top artworks belong to the same person, and both belong to the crazy guy Steven!
Although these two oil paintings are only ranked three or four in art auction records, their combined total price is as high as 435 million U.S. dollars, which is a well-deserved auction history in the world!
Of course, there is still a slight gap between this and hedge fund manager Griffin's $500 million art transaction, but it is a private transaction and is not comparable!
435 million dollars! What a fortune! It has been determined to belong to Steven that bastard!
Thinking of this, everyone in the auction hall couldn't help looking at the first row, at the extremely lucky guy!
Everyone’s eyes are full of envy and jealousy. Many of the eyes of UU Reading www.uukanshu.com are already red!
Ye Tian, who was in the focus of people's sight, first nodded to Prince Hassan and Princess Mayasa, and then began to celebrate!
"Awesome! 435 million dollars, I love Paul Cezanne! I love the royal family of Qatar! I love this **** dollar! I love this perfect day! It's so cool!"
Ye Tian cheered and cheered, his voice resounding throughout the auction hall.
Fortunately, no one understands the Chinese he speaks. What's more, what does it matter if you don't understand it?
Everyone can clearly feel his excitement from his incomparably public gestures and expressions, as well as his brilliant smile, but it is a pity that that person is not himself!
Jason, who was standing next to him, hadn't recovered yet, he was still immersed in the huge shock brought by 255 million US dollars, his face was dull, his eyes were full of incredible and crazy colors!
"Papa Papa"
The applause rang out like a storm, and it swept the entire auction hall in an instant.
The auction process had to be temporarily interrupted. John couldn't find the time to sell the hammer. The scene was too hot and noisy, and his voice was completely drowned!
It wasn't until two or three minutes later that the auction hall became a little quieter.
The voice of John's countdown came immediately, with a little vibrato, into everyone's ears.
"The first time of 260 million US dollars, the second time, sold! 255 million US dollars of transactions! The winning bidder is Princess Mayasa of the royal family of Qatar, congratulations Princess Mayasa, congratulations Mr. Steven!"
While announcing the result loudly, John stretched out his hand and gestured towards Princess Mayasa, then nodded at Ye Tian, eyes full of gratitude and envy! ) Download the free reader!!
