Money and goods are in order! The transaction was completed very smoothly.
For the sake of insurance and to avoid unnecessary trouble, Ye Tian specially asked the old liar Gent to issue a certification document, and asked Anderson and Joseph to sign their names on the document.
In the eyes of everyone at the scene, this certification document is not necessary at all, it is completely unnecessary! Only Ye Tian knew in his heart whether this certification document was necessary!
This is the last nail on the coffin board. With this certification document, if the old liar Gent regrets later, even if he sues God, he will not be able to get back these antique works of art.
In addition, during the delivery, Gent also found the original documents of the set of antique furniture and the oil painting and handed them to Ye Tian personally.
As soon as the transaction was completed, Ye Tian took out his mobile phone and called Matisse.
The call was connected instantly, and Ye Tian immediately said:
"Matisse, take a few more guys downstairs and set off. I bought some antique works of art on Flanders Street near the Grand Place in Brussels, and they need to be moved manually.
There are many onlookers and media reporters gathered in front of this antique store, which you can see as soon as you enter Flanders Street! When you come here, drive a bulletproof SUV and bring the necessary equipment."
"Understood, Steven, we'll leave right away and we'll be there in ten minutes"
Mattis’s voice came from the mobile phone, and he sounded quite excited.
Based on his understanding of Ye Tian, he immediately understood that Ye Tian must have discovered a valuable antique artwork and successfully captured it.
After ending the call, Ye Tian directed the Gents and his son to clear an open space near the entrance of the antique store.
Immediately afterwards, he took Taylor and Anderson to personally move the set of antique furniture to the entrance of the antique store, took down the medium-sized oil painting, and placed it on the antique desk.
As soon as they finished moving, Gatlink and another Belgian antique art appraisal expert quickly stepped forward and began to appraise these items again.
The deal is done, it's a done deal.
At this point, they can finally ask questions to answer the questions they have been holding in their hearts.
The two antique art appraisal experts first looked at the oil painting. They looked at it very seriously and focused, trying to find out the reason why Ye Tianwei was moved by it.
This is a Cubist style painting with bright colors and simple lines. The colors that can be seen on the canvas are brown, green, blue, white, and black.
Several color blocks of different sizes and shapes are staggered, superimposed and recombined in different areas on the canvas, existing in the shape of abstract organisms, forming a separated picture.
What connects and separates these different color blocks are elegant lines, either straight, parallel, or curved.
The whole picture looks a little messy at first, but if you look closely, you will find that the pictures composed of these colors and lines are very atmospheric, giving off a sense of tranquility and mystery.
While appreciating this oil painting, two Belgian appraisal experts also began to raise their own questions.
"Steven, I really don't understand why you bought this oil painting. What is it about it that makes you excited? Can you tell us about it? I really want to know!"
"Yes! The painting technique of this painting is indeed good, and the structural layout is also very reasonable. It can be seen that the painter who created this oil painting has very good painting skills.
However, from these extremely elegant colors and the movement of lines, we can see the shadow of Cezanne, as well as the influence of Fauvism Matisse and Picasso.
It is a pity that it is neither Cézanne, nor Matisse nor Picasso. In addition, the Cubism style shown in this painting is not very mature yet.
To put it bluntly, this is a painting that is a mixture of styles. We cannot see the artist’s own things. For a work of art, this is the most important thing!
If an oil painting does not have the painter's own perception and innovation, it is equivalent to having no soul. No matter how brilliant his painting skills are, he is just a painter."
Ye Tian looked at the two Belgian appraisal experts who were full of doubts, and then said with a smile:
"Mr. Gatlink, Mr. Jürgen, I have seen what you said, and I also saw something else, which may be a surprising discovery.
I have a very bold guess, but I am not sure yet. I need to carefully appreciate this oil painting to determine whether my guess is correct. The answer will be revealed soon! "
With that said, Ye Tian stepped forward, pretending to start appreciating the oil painting lying flat on the antique desk again, and borrowed a hand-held magnifying glass and a flashlight from Gent, the antique shop owner.
Following his movements, everyone in the antique store looked at him. Everyone's eyes were full of curiosity and expectation, except for the Ghent father and son.
At this time, they were both nervous and apprehensive, fearing that if this was a valuable piece of top-notch art, they would suffer a big loss!
Although the results haven't been released yet, they already have some regrets.
This **** Steven has an extremely sharp vision, and he has never made a mistake. Anything that catches his eye and makes his heart move is basically a treasure of great value.
There must be a reason why this **** bought these things. It is not as simple as what he said. Maybe he has already seen the true value of these things!
I was really fooled by lard just now, why did I sell these things to that bastard? If not, maybe you can make a lot of money!
Even if these things are not worth a few dollars, I won’t lose much, only 20,000 euros at most!
Thinking of this, the Gents and their sons wished they could just give themselves two mouths, and their intestines were almost green with regret!
Unfortunately, there is no regret in the world!
No matter how valuable these antique works of art are, they have nothing to do with them. They can only stand aside and watch.
Soon, five or six minutes passed.
After the performance, Ye Tian raised his head and looked at everyone present, with a bright smile on his face.
He did not immediately announce the conclusion of the appraisal, but the smile on his face said it all.
Everyone immediately understood that this Cubist oil painting must have a great background, and it was most likely a top-notch work of art that was worth a lot of money!
But which artist is this work? Where is its value specifically reflected? No one knows, and there is no way to guess.
"Steven, stop exciting everyone and tell us your identification conclusion"
Gatlink said eagerly, looking impatient.
Everyone else did the same, watching Ye Tian, waiting for him to tell his conclusion and reveal the answer.
Ye Tian looked around the scene for a week and then said with a smile:
"Ladies and gentlemen, as I said just now, when I first appraised this Cubist oil painting, in addition to what Mr. Gatlinck and the others saw, I also saw some other things.
And I also have a very bold conjecture. Now, what I saw and my conjecture have been confirmed. In other words, I have reached a very accurate identification conclusion.
After my identification, this oil painting, which was created in the 1920s and 1930s and has a slight cubist style, was painted by Juan Miró, a famous Spanish painter and representative of Surrealism.
Miro was born in Barcelona, Spain. He was a late-blooming top artist and one of the most famous art masters of the 20th century. He is as famous as Picasso, Dali and others..."
Before he finished speaking, the antique store was completely boiling with excitement. Everyone held their heads and exclaimed.
"Oh my God! This Cubist oil painting is actually the work of Miro, it's incredible!"
"There are only a few of Miro's Cubist oil paintings that have been circulated in the world, right? There is no doubt that this must be a priceless top-notch work of art!"
Everyone at the scene knew something about Miro. He was one of the most famous art masters of the 20th century. Many people had seen his works in museums or in the media.
In 1993, ten years after Miró's death, in order to commemorate this outstanding art master, the European art world designated that year as the "Year of Miró" and held an unprecedented number of exhibitions and art activities.
Even on the other side of the ocean, in the United States, many exhibitions of Miro's works were held, attracting the attention of countless art lovers and causing a huge sensation.
Especially New York, where Miró was blessed and where he became famous.
In this modern art town, Miró has a transcendent status, even surpassing famous art masters such as Matisse and Picasso!
"Plop"
Amid the exclamations, there was a sudden sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
Hearing this voice, everyone immediately turned their heads and looked over.
The sound came from where Gent and his son were. At this time, Gent had already sat down on the floor, with an expression as mourning as a heir, which was extremely ugly.
"How is that possible? How could that be the work of Joan Miró? Isn't he a master of surrealist painting? Why are there cubist paintings?"
Gent sat on the floor and muttered in despair, almost going crazy.
As for his son, he looked dumbfounded, his eyes instantly turned red, and he looked a bit scary!
Seeing their appearance, Taylor and Lisa immediately stepped forward to separate them from Ye Tian and the Miro painting, and stared at them closely, ready to react at any time!
