Four oil paintings hang on the shelves on the side of the stall. They are all realistic landscape paintings and they look very beautiful.
The sizes of the four paintings are not small, the smallest is 80*100, and the largest is almost 180*200. These four oil paintings alone can fill a wall.
This must have been transported in an RV, as ordinary vehicles are really useless. The old blue and white RV behind the stall should belong to this stall owner.
After obtaining the stall owner's permission, Ye Tian immediately took two steps forward, reached out and took down the smallest oil painting, held it with both hands and began to appreciate it.
But this painting is not Ye Tian’s goal, it is just an excess!
The painting he was interested in was still hanging on the shelf. It was farther inside and was larger in size! It is a large oil painting about 120*150.
These four oil paintings were all painted by a painter, a native American painter from Ohio in the 1950s who was relatively well-known.
The reason why Ye Tian can recognize them at a glance is because these paintings have the artist's signature and the year of creation in the lower right corner, which are very clear and beyond doubt!
In his eyes, the white light emitted by these four oil paintings also clearly indicated the time of their creation, from the late 1940s to the late 1950s.
In addition to the dazzling white light, the four oil paintings all have five to six layers of charming halo, some with five layers, some with six layers, indicating that they all have certain artistic value.
Their market value is also very clear. Depending on the size and year of creation, the market value of the four oil paintings ranges from US$15,000 to US$30,000 respectively.
This is very consistent with the painter's historical status. His paintings are basically at this price, and the auction records over the years have proven this.
However, the other three oil paintings were all fine, but the oil painting that Ye Tian was interested in showed a very strange phenomenon.
The white light emitted by the oil painting seems to have two layers, as if two light sources are overlapped together, and the light intensity is also different. The light emitted by the inner light source is a little brighter than the outer light source.
From this we can judge that the inner light source is a little earlier, about three or four years earlier.
What’s even weirder is that the halos outside the painting also overlap!
Under the six layers of halo in the original painting, there is actually a large halo, up to eighteen or nineteen layers, which is very charming and dazzling, enough to make people dizzy or even crazy!
It was this charming halo that caught Ye Tian's eyes tightly, making him excited and ready to win the oil painting.
There is no doubt that that oil painting hides a major secret.
Under the surface of the picture, there is a top-notch work of art hidden. Judging from the area where the halo spreads, it is very likely that what is hidden inside is also an oil painting! The size is similar to this one!
This method of using one oil painting to cover up another painting is not uncommon, and can even be seen often, but it is not known who painted the hidden painting.
Ye Tian has no way of knowing the answer yet, but he is very sure of one thing.
The hidden painting must be by the most famous modern artist and is worth more than ten million dollars. This judgment is enough!
This oil painting must belong to my buddy, no one can take it away!
He did not immediately look through the hanging oil painting and discover the secret, but pretended to appreciate the painting in his hand seriously while communicating with the stall owner.
"Sir, I would like to ask, how come you have four oil paintings by Jack Blair? And they are such large-scale works. These should be scenic spots in Ohio, right?"
Ye Tian asked curiously. It is indeed rare for such four large oil paintings to appear in the same place. It is inevitable that people will be surprised.
He also wanted to find out the exact origins of these oil paintings, so that he could avoid a lot of trouble. After all, this was related to a top-notch work of art, so you couldn't be too careful! Nip problems in the bud!
The stall owner did not hide anything and began to explain the origins of these four oil paintings with a smile.
"Steven, it seems that you also know Jack Blair, so you must also know the prices of his works. You read that right, these four oil paintings are all about the scenery of Ohio.
They are "Morning on Lake Erie", "Autumn Colors of Mount Campbell", "Mother River Ohio", and "Meandering Maumee River", all of which are Ohio's scenic spots.
As for the origin of these four oil paintings, you can rest assured that they are all obtained through legal channels. There is no problem. I am an Ohioan and I collected them all in Cincinnati! "
"Why didn't you send it to the auction? Instead, you brought it to Birmingham. It shouldn't be difficult to sell Jack Blair's works? Especially in Ohio"
“The auction house’s commission rate is too high, and Jack Blair’s paintings couldn’t fetch high prices, so I didn’t send them to the auction. I didn’t want to work for those vampires at the auction house.
I collected these four paintings not long ago. When I came to Corridor 127 this time, I brought them here to see if I could sell them here. If I could sell them, that would be great!
Unfortunately, not many people like these oil paintings, coupled with their prices, so they have been kept until now. Are you interested in these oil paintings? Did you like that one? We can talk about it"
“You are right, the auction house commission rate is indeed too high, especially for these works of art with little room for appreciation, it is not cost-effective to send them to the auction house, and you will lose every time you buy!
The regional color of these paintings is so strong that no one will like them outside of Ohio. If you choose to sell them in Birmingham, Alabama, it is normal for no one to care about them.
I am indeed interested in these paintings, but forget about this one, "Autumn Colors of Mount Campbell", which is almost uninteresting in terms of momentum. Let me look at that one, "Morning on Lake Erie", it looks quite beautiful! "
After saying that, Ye Tian re-hanged "Autumn Colors of Mount Campbell" on the shelf, walked over and began to admire his real goal, "Morning on Lake Erie".
The stall owner responded and turned back to greet others.
He knows these four paintings very well and knows their value even more. He thinks there is nothing to miss, and Steven should not try to take advantage of him.
And he also understands that Steven is definitely an expert and knows the value of these oil paintings very well. He should not even think about asking for high prices, that is simply impossible!
If this guy takes a fancy to that oil painting and is ready to buy it, it is just a very ordinary art transaction. The price must strictly follow the market price, and there is very little room for floating!
So there is no need to pay attention to this guy. Even if he doesn't buy it, it won't be difficult to take these oil paintings back to Ohio. It's just a matter of time, so don't worry!
However, how did this stall owner know that "Morning on Lake Erie" actually hid a major secret, which was a fortune that he might not be able to earn in his lifetime! I'm about to pass it by!
But Ye Tian's determination to win this "Morning on Lake Erie" is now extremely firm and he is bound to win!
The first time he stood in front of the painting, Ye Tian immediately turned on perspective, looking through the tranquil water of Lake Erie on the painting, looking behind the canvas, and discovering the secrets hidden behind the canvas.
As far as the eye can see, everything is visible.
This oil painting was thoroughly seen in an instant. The oil paint, canvas, frame, back panel, etc., all details of the painting were clearly presented to the eyes, and no secrets could be hidden!
Even the stall on the back of the oil painting and the beautiful woman standing in front of the stall selecting goods were completely seen by Ye Tian, and an extremely fragrant picture appeared in his eyes.
As expected, there is another painting hidden behind the canvas. It is as big as "Morning on Lake Erie" and is also a large oil painting!
The two canvases overlap each other, they fit together perfectly, and they are perfectly hidden!
No one can discover this hidden painting without tearing off the surface canvas or removing the nailed back panel!
But what surprised Ye Tian was that the hidden painting was not an oil painting. Although it was also an oil painting, the creation technique was completely different and it was a unique painting method.
The picture of this painting is extremely chaotic, like a mess. At a glance, it is impossible to tell what is painted. The eyes are full of complicated, difficult to distinguish, confusing lines, which makes people dizzy!
After a moment of surprise, Ye Tian quickly woke up.
Immediately afterwards, excitement and ecstasy appeared in his eyes.
He has recognized this painting technique and this artistic style. He also understands who the painter is and the market value of this painting.
Drip painting method! Abstract expressionist painting, created in the 1950s, with a charming halo of 18 or 19 layers, extraordinary artistic value and market value!
The answer is ready to come out, it is definitely a crazy answer!
This is the work of Jackson Pollock, the master of abstract expressionist painting and the first contributor to American modern painting's break away from European standards and establishing its leadership in the international art world!
And it is the work of the peak period, no doubt!
Dude posted it!
