The person holding the sign and bidding was an old acquaintance, Allen, the director of Impressionist oil paintings at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and a well-known buyer in the New York art auction market.
Seeing that it was him, Ye Tian immediately smiled and nodded, thanking the other party for the support.
Ellen responded with a smile, polite and confident.
Obviously, MOMA is very interested in the painting "Mont Saint-Victoire" and wants to acquire it.
This is a top-notch piece of art, so why is the museum not interested in it? No exception!
"OK! The price on No. 59 is 45 million U.S. dollars. It is Mr. Allen from the Museum of Modern Art in New York. The current price is 46 million U.S. dollars, 46 million U.S. dollars. Is anyone willing to bid?"
John stretched out his hand and gestured towards Allen's position, and continued to loudly bid passionately. His voice echoed in every corner of the auction hall, extremely clear.
"$50 million, John"
Someone raised a sign and loudly called out the price, which was from the telephone bidding.
"There is a mysterious buyer bidding on the phone, No. 152, asking for 50 million U.S. dollars. The current price is 52 million U.S. dollars, 52 million U.S. dollars. Who will take this price?"
John’s voice barely paused, bombarding the eardrums of everyone in the auction hall.
At the same time, he quickly gestured toward the phone bidding side.
"Oh my God! In just two rounds, the price has already soared by 10 million US dollars. It's incredible! Something big will happen today that will shake up the entire field of art collection!"
"The speed at which prices are soaring is really terrifying! 10 million US dollars! This is a level that many artists dream of but can never reach!
But for Paul Cézanne, it was just an increase from two rounds of bidding! It was completed with ease. It is worthy of the top art and deserves its reputation! "
Shouts of exclamation spread throughout the entire auction hall.
Not only were many bidders and onlookers shocked, but Ye Tian was also extremely surprised, and his heartbeat began to accelerate suddenly!
The price surge is indeed a bit exaggerated! But my friend likes it, it’s so awesome!
This is just the beginning. The Qatari royal family, several famous billionaires and top collectors have not yet joined the competition! Those are the most important buyers!
The battle will really begin when they raise their placards to bid and participate in the competition. The scene must be extremely fierce!
For Ye Tian, that scene was extremely beautiful and desirable! Just thinking about it makes you shiver all over, it makes you feel so good!
Jason, who was sitting next to him, had a dull look on his face and was mumbling to himself.
"Are they talking about US dollars? It's too fantasy! What these guys shouted must be another currency! I'm very sure!"
"Hahaha, man, wake up! You heard it right, they are calling another currency, a currency also called the US dollar!"
Ye Tian said with a low smile, teasing Jason.
As he spoke, two more rounds of bidding passed, and the price soared to US$58 million.
Someone in the lobby raised the bidding number sign again!
This is Bastien, an old friend from Paris, France, from the Pierre family.
While holding the bidding sign high, he also stared at the back of Ye Tian's head with great anger, his eyes were blood red, and he was so angry that he almost burst into flames!
At this moment, he really wanted to rush forward immediately, shoot that **** in the back of the head, completely smash the head, and send that **** **** directly to hell!
Only in this way can we relieve our hatred and make up for the huge losses of our family!
But this idea can only be thought of, and it is impossible to realize it. Ten of us tied together are no match for that bastard, and we are looking for death!
That is a ruthless **** who regards human life as nothing! I can't afford to offend him at all!
Although he accepted the offer of 58 million U.S. dollars, Bastian knew very well that with such a terrifying price surge, he would never be able to capture this oil painting. There was no hope at all!
This trip to the United States is destined to be in vain, and those two top oil paintings are destined to miss the Pierre family!
A huge amount of wealth just passed through the eyes of his family and fell into the hands of that **** Steven, who can never get it back!
Thinking of this, Bastian suddenly felt extremely painful, as if he was in hell!
His hatred for Ye Tian, just like the price of this oil painting, keeps racing forward and becomes deeper! And the look he looked at Ye Tian was even more resentful!
The US$58 million was exceeded in an instant, and John’s voice continued to echo in the auction hall without interruption.
"The bidder on the 16th was Mr. Lewis from the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The current price is US$62 million, US$62 million. This is the most top-notch work of art! Who will bid?"
"For $65 million, Old John, this Paul Cézanne will definitely belong to me!"
A famous American billionaire shouted loudly and raised the bidding number in his hand. He was very energetic and determined to win.
This man is not only a billionaire, but also a very famous art collector. He is a frequent visitor to the world's top auctions. He is extremely generous with his purchases and is known as the 'acquisitioner'!
Edward Munch's "The Scream" worth US$120 million is in the hands of this buddy. It seems that he is ready to flex his muscles again today and add another top-notch piece to his collection!
He knows the auctioneer John, and also knows many famous collectors in the hall. Naturally, everyone also knows him, including Ye Tian.
Seeing that he was asking for US$65 million, the scene immediately erupted in discussion.
"Leon has taken action! This is the real auction giant! No need to ask, this oil painting will soon exceed the sky-high price of 100 million US dollars, becoming one of the most expensive works of art!"
"The war has begun! I wonder who will be the next big bidder? The Qatari royal family? Peter Brandt? Or Carlos's art consultant? No matter who it is, he is a very powerful guy!"
While discussing, many bidders who wanted to take a photo of this oil painting had disappointment and frustration in their eyes!
The intervention of a top collector like Leon instantly shattered the hopes of many people!
At this moment, they all know very well that the top-notch artwork on the auction stage is no longer available to them! It will only become the prey of those auction giants!
While you still have time, let’s take a closer look!
If I want to see this top-notch work of art in person in the future, God knows when, I may never have the chance again!
Unlike most people who were depressed, Ye Tian and Jason were very excited at this time.
"Wow! It has exceeded US$65 million! And the price was paid by the 'acquirer' Leon, which is great!"
“The fiercest competition has just begun. Dear auction giants, since you are here, don’t miss this God-given opportunity! Take advantage of it and I will thank you!”
While the two were talking in low voices, on the other side of the same row of seats as them, Prince Hassan and Princess Mayasha of the Qatari royal family were also talking in low voices and were ready to take action.
"Leon has jumped out, it's time for us to step in, Hassan, offer $75 million! Put a little pressure on Leon and the other guys, and show our determination!"
Princess Mayasha gave the order in a low voice, her expression quite relaxed.
Her tone was understatement, as if it was not US$75 million, but just a meaningless set of numbers, and there was no need to care about it at all!
No way! Who lets people have oil under their feet?
"Okay, I'll bid now!"
Hassan responded in a deep voice, picked up the bidding number and prepared to bid.
However, he was a step too late!
"$75 million, John!"
The sound came from the phone bidding side. Someone shouted the price before Hassan.
“Hiss——!”
There was a gasp of air in the auction hall, and everyone was shocked!
It seems that in addition to the auction giants on site, there are also hidden dragons and crouching tigers in telephone bidding and online bidding, and there are many experts!
Suddenly a mysterious buyer pops up again, who is he? Is it Abu, who has always been fond of Impressionist art? Or are they the Chinese super-rich who have suddenly emerged in recent years?
No matter who it is, it must be a super predator, there is no doubt about it!
"The price quoted on No. 129 is US$75 million. It is a mysterious buyer from the telephone bidding. The current price is US$78 million, US$78 million. Is that lady or gentleman bidding US$78 million?..."
John's passionate voice came again, still speaking fast and extremely loud.
“For $80 million, this top-notch oil painting by Paul Cézanne belongs to the Qatari royal family!”
Prince Hassan’s voice echoed throughout the auction hall, with a hint of annoyance.
Obviously, he was a little depressed by the phone bidder just now!
So far, this top-notch piece of art still belongs to my buddy, so there is no doubt about it! Ye Tian muttered a few words to himself.
However, he didn't mind Prince Hassan's inappropriate choice of words at all. Who was the one who paid for it? You can say whatever you want, as long as you pay in the end!
"$85 million, John"
Someone raised a sign to bid again.
While making the quotation, this man also stood up and said to Prince Hassan with a smile:
"Princess Mayasha, Prince Hassan, I'm sorry, Mr. Carlos also likes this top oil painting very much and wants to get it, so I have to compete with you!"
"Okay! In that case, let's compete fairly, the one with the highest price will win!"
Princess Mayasha smiled and nodded, acting very ladylike.
Seeing the Hispanic man standing up, there was another exclamation in the auction hall.
"Wow! That's Carlos Slam's art collection consultant. The former world's richest man has taken action. The competition is getting fiercer!"
"Is this "Mont Saint-Victoire" going to set a world art auction record? That's crazy! This is really a wonderful show!"
While people were talking about it, Ye Tianze was shaking his fist in celebration.
"Great! Carlos Slam is participating in the bidding. If France's Bernard also participates in the competition, then this auction will be perfect and will definitely create an unprecedented record!"
"That's not even possible! The mysterious buyer over the phone bidding may be Bernard or Abramovich! The richest collectors in the world are almost here!"
Jason continued, this kid was already dancing with excitement, almost crazy!
“No. 66 is quoted at US$85 million, from Mr. Carlos Slam’s collection consultant. The current price is US$88 million, US$88 million. Is there anyone who can bid?
Ladies and gentlemen, this is the most top-notch work of art in the world today, something you can only encounter but cannot seek! Definitely not to be missed! This is your war, you must not lose here! "
John said loudly and passionately, he was so excited that he almost flew up!
Although he is the highest-level white-glove auctioneer in the field of art auctions, he has never encountered a situation like this a few times. Can he not be excited?
He knows very well that today's special auction of 'Impressionist and Modern Art' will definitely become a landmark auction and will cause a sensation in the entire art collection market.
As the auctioneer of this special auction, today will definitely be the most glorious moment in my career, and it is definitely worth remembering forever!
"$90 million! John!"
Prince Hassan’s voice sounded again, extremely firm and confident!
A miracle is happening! Everyone is so sure!
