This is a photorealistic painting. It is small in size, no more than 40 centimeters wide and about 50 centimeters high. It is mounted in a minimalist solid wood frame.
The so-called photorealism is a realistic painting based on photos. It was popular in the 1960s and 1970s and is also called super realism.
The painting in front of me is a realistic work based on a black and white photo, with only black and white on the screen.
In the painting, there is a beautiful girl wearing a long skirt, sitting on the river embankment, playing with her bare feet in the water, with a bright smile on her face, and her whole body is filled with endless youthfulness. Heartwarming.
The distant view in the painting is the towering twin towers of Cologne Cathedral and the blue sky that looks like it has been washed by water.
Ye Tian held the painting and admired it for a moment, then put it back on the antique stall in front of him without asking about the price, as if he was not interested in the painting.
When he put down the painting, his right ring finger quickly tapped twice on the edge of the solid wood frame. His movements were so subtle that almost no one noticed.
However, several burly men among the crowd of onlookers kept staring at his right hand, unwilling to blink.
When they saw Ye Tian's invisible movement, a look of ecstasy flashed deep in their eyes, and they almost cheered.
No need to ask, these tough men are all mercenaries who were once employed by Ye Tian, and they are receiving their rewards.
The gesture Ye Tian made was to tell these guys that this photorealistic painting was valuable, and they could take it as reward for their previous actions!
Next, Ye Tian looked at the other so-called antique artworks on this stall, then turned around and left, heading to the next stall not far away.
About ten minutes after the group left, a guy dressed as a tourist came to the stall, pretended to be casual, and successfully bought this photorealistic painting at a very low price.
At this time, Ye Tian was at another stall not far away, admiring the goods on that stall.
This is the largest and most famous Berlin Wall Flea Market in Berlin. It is located in the Berlin Wall Ruins Park. Ye Tian and his group have been here for more than an hour.
In more than an hour, they were like a tornado, sweeping through many antique stalls, antique shops, and galleries they passed, and acquired a large number of valuable antique works of art.
All these antique artworks are currently in the hands of David and several company employees. Everyone's hands are so full that they can almost no longer carry them.
Not only that, at the entrance of the Berlin Wall Flea Market, Bowie and two of his men also walked into the flea market and launched a sweep operation.
The targets of these guys are those antique works of art that are of lower value and not worthy of Ye Tian's own hands. The information they receive naturally comes from Ye Tian.
Unsurprisingly, Ye Tian and his group’s frenzied sweep of antique art has caused a sensation in the entire Berlin Wall flea market and even in the entire field of German antique art collections.
At this moment, the Berlin Wall Flea Market has fallen into a state of turmoil. All the antique dealers and gallery owners doing business here are frightened and have a feeling of impending disaster.
The owner of the antique stall in front of me felt exactly like this.
He looked at Ye Tian tremblingly, fearing that he would become the next target to be crazily robbed and the protagonist of a tragedy.
At this time, Ye Tian was looking at the antique artworks on this stall, or the so-called antique artworks.
When his eyes swept across a sculpture, he suddenly paused.
This is a surrealist bronze sculpture, about 40 centimeters high, placed in the corner of the stall.
It can be seen from the content of this sculpture that it should come from the sculptor's dream. The appearance looks very weird, even giving people a sense of absurdity.
What the sculpture depicts is a man struggling to get out of the ruins. One of this man's legs has already stepped out of the ruins, and his scarred hands have also reached out of the ruins.
However, the man's torso was still embedded in the ruins, especially his head, which had been squeezed out of shape by the outside wall, almost becoming an S-shape.
This man embedded in the ruins seemed to be struggling hard, shouting desperately, trying to seize the last glimmer of life and escape.
In order to express the emotions of pain and despair, the sculptor deliberately made the man's torso and limbs thin and long, making him look like he had just come out of a concentration camp.
After looking at the sculpture up and down, Ye Tian looked at the stall owner and said with a smile:
"Good morning, buddy. I'm Steven. Nice to meet you. This surrealist sculpture looks a bit weird. I don't know which sculptor it is. Can you introduce it to me?"
The stall owner did not respond immediately, but looked back at the surrealist sculpture suspiciously, trying to figure out something.
Unfortunately, in his eyes, this surrealist sculpture was no different from before, and he didn't see anything new.
After pondering for a moment, the stall owner said uneasily:
"Good morning, Steven, I am Friedrich, the owner of this stall, a small antique dealer who is not popular. I am also very happy to meet you. Welcome to Berlin.
I don’t know much about this surrealist sculpture, and I don’t know that it is the work of the sculptor. There is no author’s signature on this sculpture”
Hearing this, Ye Tian paused for a moment, and then said in a slightly regretful tone:
"I see, that's such a pity. This sculpture looks interesting, but it's a pity that I don't know who the sculptor is.
I would like to ask, how much does this sculpture cost? If the price is reasonable, I wouldn’t mind keeping it in my pocket and taking it back to New York to study it carefully.”
Following Ye Tian's words, the stall owner named Friedrich's eyes suddenly lit up.
Not only him, but also the many onlookers around him, all of whom had their eyes shining like searchlights.
Without exception, everyone at the scene looked at the weird sculpture, and everyone was full of curiosity.
Could this strange, even absurd-looking statue be the work of a famous sculptor? Is it a priceless piece of top antique art? That’s why Steven is so excited!
Many people at the scene were secretly guessing, but no one stepped forward to make the first bid to **** this surrealist sculpture from Ye Tian.
The reason why this happens is simple.
Everyone was frightened by the trap, and no one was sure whether this was another trap dug by Ye Tian, preparing to deal with Cheng Yaojin who had escaped halfway.
In the past hour or so, four or five unlucky guys who planned to cut off their beauties have fallen into the traps dug by Ye Tian one after another, and each one of them was on the verge of tears.
With these **** lessons learned from the past, others would not dare to take action at will. They were all very cautious and kept a wait-and-see attitude.
