After introducing the so-called degenerate art, as well as the relationship between degenerate art and Hitler, as well as the "Provence Landscape" by the Impressionist master Monet, Ye Tian turned to look at the other paintings.
The tarpaulin wrapping these paintings has not been completely uncovered. Which artist are these paintings and what style are they in? Are they so-called degenerate art? It is unknown at the moment.
"Guys, let's take off the moisture-proof tarpaulins outside these paintings one by one, so that everyone can appreciate these works of art that Hitler took great pains to hide and see whose works they are!"
Ye Tian said loudly with a smile, and pointed at the paintings held in Walker's hands.
Following his words, everyone inside and outside the Temple Palace, and almost everyone in front of the live broadcast, looked at the paintings in Walker's hands with bright eyes, their eyes full of expectation.
"Okay, Steven"
Walker and the others responded in unison, everyone was excited.
Before he finished speaking, Walker took the lead in taking action and continued to dismantle the moisture-proof tarpaulin wrapping the painting in his hand.
In the blink of an eye, an oil painting on canvas appeared in front of Ye Tian and appeared on the live broadcast screen.
Ye Tian then took a step forward, pretending to look at the painting carefully, and then gave his own appraisal conclusion with a smile.
"If I read it correctly, this oil painting on canvas with bright colors, strong contrast, and great visual impact should be by the Fauvist art master Matisse and was created around 1905.
1905 was the peak of Matisse's artistic career. It was in this year that Fauvism was officially named at the Salon d'Automne in Paris and caused a huge sensation in Paris.
Like Impressionism, Fauvism was also classified by Hitler as a "degenerate art". However, he did not give up plundering Fauvism's artistic works. This is the best proof.
As far as I know, as soon as this painting by Matisse came out, it was acquired by a Jewish banker. After that, it was transferred several times and disappeared during World War II. I didn’t expect it to be hidden here.”
Before he finished speaking, a company employee next to him asked curiously:
"Steven, since this is the peak work of the Fauvist master Matisse, it must be worth a lot of money, right? How much is this Fauvist oil painting worth? How much is the "Provence Landscape" worth? Can you give it to everyone? Tell me?"
There is no doubt that this is an issue of great concern to everyone, including experts and scholars in the industry, as well as many collectors and artists of all sizes.
Everyone looked at Ye Tian, expecting his answer, and their eyes were extremely hot.
Ye Tian looked at the guy who asked the question, then scanned the crowd, then smiled and said loudly:
"Of course I can tell you about the value of these two paintings, otherwise some guys will curse me secretly, blaming me for raising everyone's curiosity."
"Hahaha"
Walker and the others all laughed, and there were bursts of laughter in front of the live broadcast.
The laughter faded slightly, and Ye Tian immediately continued:
“Let’s first talk about the “Provence Landscape” by the Impressionist master Monet. Although this painting was looted, it is very well preserved. There are almost no flaws in either the canvas or the frame.
The Nazis put a lot of thought into hiding this painting. The environment in this underground palace would be suitable for preserving artworks such as oil paintings within a few decades. No more.
In other words, although this Impressionist painting has disappeared for more than seventy years, its artistic value has not been affected at all. As for the market value, it has continued to increase as time goes by.
Based on the market conditions of Monet's paintings at his peak, combined with the auction transaction records of Monet's paintings of the same period in recent years, I estimate the valuation of this painting at around US$85 million, which is not too high! ”
Before he finished speaking, Walker and the others cheered and high-fived each other in celebration.
"Wow! At least $80 million, that's awesome!"
"It is indeed a work by the top art master Monet, and its value is also top-notch"
On countless live broadcasts, there were waves of exclamations. Everyone was shocked by the sky-high valuation given by Ye Tian, and then they exclaimed in surprise.
At the same time, many people are extremely envious, and even their eyes are red with jealousy.
These guys are all staring at Monet's "Provence Landscape", wishing they could replace Ye Tian and take that priceless top-notch work of art as their own.
Before the exclamation could end, Ye Tian's clear voice came again, clearly reaching everyone's ears.
“Let’s talk about this oil painting by the Fauvist master Matisse. Like Monet’s painting, this oil painting on canvas is also in very good condition, and its artistic value has not been affected at all.
Compared to Monet's paintings, the auction prices of Matisse's paintings are relatively low. However, with the rise of collecting craze around the world in recent years, the prices of Matisse's paintings have been rising rapidly.
Based on the current market conditions and combined with existing auction transaction records, I value this painting by Matisse at about US$40 million. If done properly, the transaction price can be higher."
As this sky-high price estimate was given, excited cheers resounded once again in this Gothic palace deep underground.
In front of countless live broadcasts, exclamations continued one after another, continuously.
Even the German female prime minister sitting in the temporary conference room had her eyelids twitching a few times, and even her breathing became a little faster.
If someone observes her eyes carefully at this time, they may be able to see the glimmer of greed that flashes quickly deep in the eyes of this strong woman!
In the blink of an eye, Steven discovered two top-notch works of art worth tens of millions of dollars, and the combined value of the two paintings was as high as more than 120 million U.S. dollars.
For this guy Steven, wealth comes too easily! Even if you open a banknote printing factory, the speed of printing money is not that fast! Can it not make people jealous to the point of jealousy?
This is Berlin, Germany, not **** New York. This huge treasure was hidden by the Germans. Although the treasure was buried by the Nazis, it can't be swept away by the **** Steven!
No matter what, everything found in this treasure must stay in Germany, at least half of it.
Thinking of this, the eyes of the German female prime minister suddenly became more determined, and the greed hidden deep in her eyes became more intense.
In the underground palace, another painting appeared and was displayed in front of everyone.
This is a Symbolist painting that expresses **** themes but is not explicit.
The painter used a large amount of yellow paint during the creation process, and even used a lot of gold foil, which was directly pasted on the painting, giving it a resplendent look.
Especially under the illumination of light, this painting radiates an extremely bright golden light, making people almost unable to open their eyes.
The first time they saw this painting, Ye Tian, who was in this underground palace, as well as many experts, scholars, collectors and many painters on the live broadcast, all blurted out the same thing.
"Ah! This is a work by the master of symbolism, Gustav Klimt. The style is so obvious that it is absolutely unmistakable! There is no doubt that this is another top-notch work of art!"
Obviously, everyone recognized the origin of this Symbolist painting and understood its value.
Compared to others, Ye Tian gave a more detailed explanation.
"This is the work of Gustav Klimt, the master of Symbolism and founder of the Austrian Secession. It can be seen just from the gold foil affixed to the painting that this oil painting was created in Klimt's Golden period.
The so-called golden period was the peak period of Klimt's artistic career. Perhaps because he belonged to the same nation, Hitler highly respected Klimt's art and collected many of Klimt's paintings.
These include the 'Mona Lisa of Austria' and the 'Portrait of Adele Bloch Bauer'. Hitler, who was born in Austria, was very fond of that painting and put it in the name of 'protective custody'. The painting was in the bag.
Looking at it now, the Klimt paintings that he acquired at the same time also included the one in front of me. What I didn’t expect was that this painting that Hitler favored was actually related to ‘degenerate art’. 'Put it together"
With Ye Tian's introduction, there was once again a sound of exclamation at the scene and in front of countless live broadcasts.
After introducing the origin of this Symbolist painting, Ye Tian gave the valuation of the painting. He valued this magnificent painting at US$35 million.
This is another sky-high valuation, which unsurprisingly once again detonated the scene and detonated countless live broadcasts.
The painting presented next is a surrealist oil painting, which fits Hitler's definition of degenerate art very well. It looks like a messy and incomprehensible thing!
However, this surrealist painting was created by the master of art Picasso. It was a work created by Picasso around 1925. It is a well-deserved top-notch work of art.
When Ye Tianlang said Picasso's name loudly, the outside world was once again shocked, and people were almost crazy.
