After a few seconds, Benjamin said in an almost trembling voice:
"After identification, we have come to a completely consistent conclusion that these two oil paintings, "Mont Saint-Victoire" and "Boy in a Red Vest", are indeed works by the post-Impressionist master Paul Cézanne!
These are two outstanding post-Impressionist oil paintings. They are representative works of Post-Impressionist art and the pinnacle of painting art. They have unparalleled artistic charm and market value..."
Benjamin praised the two oil paintings as much as he could, using all the praises he could think of here, which was so exaggerated that it overflowed to the sky! ‘
Even though he was so exaggerated, no one at the scene interrupted.
Because everyone thinks what he said is very correct, and even the praise is not enough!
Listening to these kind words, Ye Tian was so happy that his face almost broke out from laughter!
Finally, Benjamin concluded that he was probably thirsty.
Simon appeared next, he rushed directly to Ye Tian and said excitedly:
"Steven, you must entrust the auction rights of these two oil paintings to Sotheby's, and we will give you the most favorable terms, just like the nugget of gold.
We will do our best to promote these two oil paintings and expand their influence to the extreme. They will definitely fetch the highest price and maybe set a new transaction record! "
Faced with this barrage of bombardments, Ye Tian said with a relaxed smile:
"Simon, don't worry, since I asked you to come, I am going to entrust these two oil paintings to Sotheby's. The previous cooperation has been very pleasant, and I have no idea of changing the auction house.
You decide the publicity matters. I believe that as soon as the news that these two oil paintings are reborn and will be auctioned in New York gets out, the entire art collection market will be completely shaken.
When the auction officially begins, it will be extremely grand and lively! I am not worried at all about the price of these two oil paintings. There are too many rich people! How many people have Paul Cézanne? "
Simon smiled with relief, and the other Sotheby's appraisal experts also smiled brightly.
At this time, they have already foreseen the grand occasion of Sotheby's autumn auction.
As long as there are rich people with money in their pockets and an interest in post-impressionist oil paintings, no one will miss this kind of event. The bidding scene will be extremely fierce and crazy!
While excited, Simon asked another question, which was very important.
"Stephen, can you explain the origin of these two oil paintings? The New York autumn auction is a public auction. If the origin of the artwork is in doubt, we are unlikely to let them go up for auction.
These two oil paintings are so famous! It is very interesting, and the last time they appeared was in Paris 25 years ago, but now they suddenly appear in New York, it will definitely arouse a lot of questions! "
I know you are worried about this, my buddy has already been prepared!
Ye Tian smiled softly, took the IPAD on the table, called up the previously recorded video, and then handed the IPAD to Simon.
"After watching this video, you will fully understand the origin of these two oil paintings. I have no doubt about their ownership, and no one can deny this!
I checked the global art theft catalog and found no information about these two oil paintings. In other words, these two oil paintings are not stolen oil paintings! "
"It is true that these two paintings are not on the robbery catalog, but we still hope to find out where they came from. These two paintings are too heavy! We don't dare to be careless! Let me take a look at the video first!"
Simon took the iPad and started watching the video.
He was full of curiosity, what kind of video was it? It was actually possible to confirm the origin of these two paintings!
The three appraisal experts were also very curious and leaned over to watch the video together.
As the video started to play, exclamations quickly filled the entire living room, and Simon and the others' eyes almost flew out of their heads.
“Oh my God! These two oil paintings have been hidden in New York! It’s incredible!”
"What a wonderful story, this will definitely attract the attention of countless people!"
"Steven is so lucky to be able to discover such a secret wall!"
Seeing the shocked expressions of everyone at Sotheby's, Ye Tian and Sophie laughed softly, their laughter filled with pride.
We are the discoverers of these two top oil paintings! Be a witness to this miracle!
Ten minutes later, the video ended. Simon and the others raised their heads and looked at Ye Tian. They were almost crazy with envy!
"Steven, you are definitely the luckiest guy in the world, good luck seems to always be with you!"
"Hahaha, my luck is indeed very good, it cannot be denied! I would like to thank the original owner of this apartment, the famous French painter!"
Ye Tian said with a smile, very proud.
"Hahaha, you should be grateful. He traveled thousands of miles to bring these two oil paintings to New York, but they finally fell into your hands without any cost!"
Simon shook his head and smiled, his eyes full of disbelief.
"This video, as well as relevant witness and material evidence, are enough to explain the origin of these two oil paintings, right?"
The laughter fell and Ye Tian asked with a relaxed expression.
"Absolutely enough! The evidence is so powerful that no one can deny it! Steven, can you sign the commission contract?"
Simon answered in the affirmative and immediately prepared to win the auction rights so that he could sit back and relax.
Ye Tian shook his head and said with a smile:
"The contract will be signed later. You take the camera crew with me to the study room and take pictures of the wall-mounted mechanism. Let's make the evidence more solid. This can stop everyone's mouths!"
"You are such a shrewd guy, you know your best! No wonder you keep making a fortune! That's why you asked us to bring a camera crew!"
Simon said with admiration and gave Ye Tian a thumbs up.
The other appraisal experts were also amazed and were completely impressed by this meticulous thought.
Afterwards, Ye Tian led the Sotheby's crowd and the camera crew into the study, and once again began to introduce the discovery process of the sandwich wall and the two oil paintings in front of the camera.
Under the lens of a professional camera, the ingenious design and secrecy of this sandwiched wall are vividly demonstrated, and it also highlights Ye Tian's overwhelming good luck.
After the shooting, everyone went downstairs and returned to the living room.
Subsequently, Ye Tian and Simon began to sign an auction contract under the witness of lawyers from both parties.
At the same time.
Betty uploaded the video of the treasure discovery to the Internet and began to use this video to shock the entire art collection market and build momentum for the auction of these two oil paintings!
After signing the auction contract, Ye Tian handed the two oil paintings to Simon and the others.
Then he made an appointment with Simon to hold a press conference tomorrow.
Tomorrow is the preview day of Nugget Gold. The two things can be put together. The sensational effect caused by such superposition will undoubtedly be greater! Kill two birds with one stone!
After agreeing on these, Simon and the others stood up and left.
Under the **** of armed security, they were on high alert all the way and quickly returned to the Sotheby's auction house without missing a moment!
With two oil paintings worth nearly 100 million US dollars, their hearts were in their throats. How could they dare to stay outside longer?
It wasn't until the two oil paintings were sent to the highly secure auction vault that they felt completely relieved, breathed a sigh of relief, and then started celebrating.
In Ye Tian's apartment, the celebration has already begun!
Ten minutes after the Sotheby’s group left, gourmet food from the 59th Street Plaza Hotel across from Central Park was delivered to the apartment.
"Bang——!"
Ye Tian pressed his thumb hard, and the cork of Krug's champagne rushed out. Tiny champagne bubbles immediately overflowed from the mouth of the bottle, and the restaurant was suddenly filled with the soft and light fragrance of top-quality champagne.
"Let the carnival begin! Cheers!"
"Cheers!"
In an instant, this luxurious restaurant was completely overwhelmed by the smell of victory and the joy of success! Everyone is having fun amidst the delicious food and wine!
As for the outside world, on the Internet, in the field of art collection, the entire Western oil painting world, and countless top museums, they have been completely shocked at this time.
The reason for this shock is an online video that just appeared!
