The first four rounds of bidding for "Wo Yi Yu Xiang" went smoothly.
Every time Ye Tian, who was standing behind the auction stage, shouted out a quotation, the audience would raise their arms like a forest, and the responders would gather, making the scene extremely lively.
In the blink of an eye, the auction of "Wo Yi Yu Lane" has reached the fifth round of bidding, which is the free bidding stage. The bid for this painting by Master Fu Baoshi has exceeded 50,000 yuan.
As the auction progressed, the atmosphere became more and more lively.
Everyone who is qualified to participate in the bidding is gearing up, waiting for the free bidding stage to come, and then quote the price they secretly set to win this valuable painting in one fell swoop.
Ye Tian, who was standing behind the auction table, did not immediately announce the start of free bidding, but smiled and said loudly:
“Once again, I would like to remind everyone that in the following fifth round of bidding, everyone has only one chance to bid, so please consider it carefully before bidding.
The higher the bid, the better. Once the bid exceeds the upper limit of the transaction price, it will be regarded as an invalid bid, which means that this painting is no longer available to you.
The reason for this is very simple. This is a public welfare auction, not an ordinary auction that seeks to maximize profits. I also have to consider everyone's financial endurance.
Once the price is announced, it cannot be changed. It is a one-and-done deal! I, my company employees, and notaries will all supervise, and please everyone supervise each other! ”
"I understand, Xiaotian, don't worry, our buddy is not that bad!"
Da Wei and Hua Zi in the audience responded loudly. The other guests also nodded, and no one raised any different opinions.
Ye Tian nodded slightly, then said loudly with a smile:
"That couldn't be better! In the fourth round of quotations just now, many people accepted the price of 50,000 yuan. Now, we will start bidding freely based on 50,000 yuan.
In order to facilitate statistics, we will come one table at a time, and the on-site cameras will record the whole process. I will announce the results after all the buyers participating in the auction have given their bids.
Then, the notary will announce the upper limit of the transaction price to ensure openness and transparency. The answer to who can take the photo of Master Fu Baoshi's "Rainy Lane" will be revealed soon.
My family will not participate in the bidding. The rest of the people will take turns giving bids in order from front to back and from left to right. Uncle Fang, let’s start from your table."
With that said, Ye Tian raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation to a table located in the first row of the banquet hall and on the left side of the stage.
At the same time, the on-site camera lens also focused on this dining table, giving this dining table a close-up shot.
The other guests in the banquet hall all looked here, ready to hear what quotations the people sitting at this table would give so that they could follow up.
"Okay, Xiaotian, you're welcome. This painting "Rainy Lane in Crow's Clothes" is indeed beautiful, and it's a masterpiece. I really want to accept it, but I don't know if I can do it. The quoted price is 150,000 yuan!”
Uncle Fang, who was sitting at the table in the audience, nodded and gave his quotation. His eyes were filled with anticipation and excitement.
Following Uncle Fang, several other guests who were also sitting at this table gave their own quotations one after another, and everyone's eyes were full of expectation.
Then there are the guests sitting at the second table, the guests sitting at the third table, the fourth table, the fifth table, etc.
In just three to five minutes, the guests who were interested in competing for the painting "Wo Yi Yu Lane" all gave their quotations, ranging from tens of thousands to more than 300,000 yuan. Everyone was still relatively conservative.
Of course, this does not include those professionals who are jealous but cannot participate in the bidding.
If they were involved, the price they would give would be far different, and their eyes would be shocked.
The bidding is over and it’s time to wait for the results.
Without exception, everyone at the scene looked at Ye Tian, and everyone's eyes were extremely hot and full of expectation.
Ye Tian, who was standing behind the auction table, did not continue to interest everyone, but directly announced the answer.
“The free bidding is over. I have been listening to the quotations given by everyone just now. I have to say that everyone is really generous and very enthusiastic. I would like to thank everyone for their active participation.
The bidding results are now announced. The buyer who quoted the price of 99,850 yuan, please stand up and let everyone see who you are. This painting "Rainy Lane" by Master Fu Baoshi belongs to you."
Before he finished speaking, an excited cheer sounded from the scene.
"Ah! That's the quote I gave, it's great!"
Along with the cheers, a slightly wealthy woman in her fifties quickly stood up from her seat and gently covered her mouth with her hand, her face filled with ecstasy.
This aunt Ye Tian knows, she is my mother’s colleague and a university teacher, and she lives in the community near Guanyuan in Xicheng, and is a neighbor of Ye Tian’s family.
"Aunt Ding, congratulations on successfully winning this painting "Wo Yi Yu Lane" by master Fu Baoshi. I have to say that the quotation you gave is very accurate and admirable!"
Ye Tian said loudly with a smile, directly announcing the bidding results.
The next moment, the banquet hall was filled with excitement.
Although we knew that someone would definitely win the bid and win the painting "Rainy Lane", when the results came out, everyone was still shocked by it and started talking about it.
"This is a masterpiece. I thought the upper limit of the transaction price set by Ye Tian was several hundred thousand yuan, but who knew it was only about one hundred thousand yuan? I miscalculated!"
"Yes! This painting by Master Fu Baoshi has ended up elsewhere and has no connection with you. But I don't believe it. Could it be that the remaining nine pieces of antique art have no connection with you?"
While there was a lot of discussion, everyone looked at the final winner with envy, wishing they could take his place and take the painting by Master Fu Baoshi as their own.
Looking at Teacher Ding at this time, she was already dancing excitedly and celebrating with her friends. She even left the table and walked to Ye Tian’s mother to give her a hug.
Next, a notary sitting at the notary's seat stood up, took the microphone, and announced the upper limit of the auction price set by Ye Tian for this "Wo Yi Yu Lane".
The upper limit of the transaction price he set was 99,860 yuan, which was only ten yuan higher than Aunt Ding's quotation, so Ye Tiancai said that the quotation given by Aunt Ding was very accurate.
As for the quotations given by other competitors, except for a small number that were lower than Aunt Ding's quotation, most of them were higher than the upper limit of the transaction price, and all of them became invalid quotations!
As the upper limit of the transaction price was announced, sighs immediately sounded at the scene, and every voice was full of regret.
As for Aunt Ding, who won the bid, she took a breath of air-conditioning and was secretly grateful!
Whether they were sighing secretly or cheering and celebrating, everyone was more sure of one thing at this time. Ye Tian was trying another way to help everyone, so he set the upper limit of the transaction price so low.
Thinking of this, everyone now knows how to bid for the nine pieces of antique art that will be unveiled next, and is more confident!
The auction of the first antique artwork has ended successfully, with no problems in the process or results.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian told his two company employees to take out the second piece of antique art that was up for auction, show it to everyone, and then start the auction.
Then, the two cultural and museum personnel took a black painting bag and took out a painting from it.
This is a piece of Western art, an oil painting on canvas, not large in size, just over forty centimeters wide and about sixty centimeters high, mounted in a simple solid wood frame.
The painting uses gold as the background, and the artist places different characters in a variety of colors and lines on the rectangular screen.
The flowing curves and the bright or dark figures in the painting make the whole picture full of vitality.
At first glance, this oil painting on canvas looks more like a decorative painting. It has strong contrasting colors and is full of large colorful blocks. It is extremely gorgeous and gives people a strong visual impact!
On this small canvas, the painter skillfully used different curve changes and color blocks to form a pattern-like picture. The decoration is realistic, and abstract is mixed with concreteness.
It can be seen from this that the painter's painting style is quite unique, and it also shows the artist's superb painting skills.
When this painting was displayed in front of everyone and on the big-screen TV, the banquet hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone was carefully admiring the painting.
But this is a typical Western art work, and the painting style is very unique, and the art school to which it belongs is also relatively unknown.
So for a while, everyone was confused. They just felt that this painting was very good, but they couldn't tell what was good about it!
After a while, there was a discussion on the scene, coming from professionals in the industry.
"This should be a Symbolist painting. It looks good, but it is not clear whether it is the work of a Western artist!"
"Yes, this pursuit of gorgeous piling and decorative effects in form is the distinctive feature of symbolism!"
While everyone was talking in low voices and secretly guessing, Ye Tian's clear voice came out from the stage again and reached the ears of everyone present.
“The painting you are seeing now is a Symbolist work from a painting by Gustav Klimt, the famous Austrian painter and founder of the Vienna Secession.
Betty and I discovered this Symbolism painting at a local antique market in Nice during our honeymoon in Nice, France. We then collected it and brought it back to New York, USA.
You may not know much about Symbolism, the Vienna Secession, and the famous painter Gustav Klimt. I think it is necessary to give a brief introduction..."
