Copying Ingres's painting is not painted on another canvas, but using an unknown special pigment and copied directly on Bacon's "George Dyer"!
There is no doubt that this is a very bold and imaginative approach! Even at the risk of completely destroying a classic painting! This magnanimity alone is enough to impress!
What’s even more amazing is that this extremely risky method turned out to be successful!
The copied painting completely covered up "George Dale", so perfect that no flaws could be seen!
If Ye Tian had not been able to see through the illusion and see through the illusion, it would have been impossible to discover the hidden famous paintings of Bacon.
In his eyes, the two paints on this canvas are like two skins, with clear boundaries and no part of them soluble in each other, just like water and oil, clearly separated! No confusion!
As you can imagine, as long as you take a photo of this painting and take it home, you can easily clean off the imitations on the surface, allowing the top-notch masterpieces hidden underneath to be revealed again.
"What kind of paint is this? It's the perfect camouflage material! It's almost impossible to be discovered! Who is this art thief? He's so sophisticated! It's impossible not to admire him!"
Ye Tian sighed secretly, eyes full of admiration! What an eye-opener!
At the same time, he also determined one thing.
This art thief must have a very high level of artistic accomplishment. He is probably an amateur painter or even a professional painter. This deceptive copying is most likely his masterpiece.
After all, this is a direct copy of a stolen work of art, so it is basically impossible to copy it from someone else!
Even if he didn't do it himself, he still had a group of very smart and trustworthy copy masters to help him cover up these stolen paintings.
The camouflage of the painting has been achieved to the extreme, impeccable and perfect!
But how can a buyer be sure that the copy below is the famous painting he wants to buy? Aren’t they afraid that this is a trap, that there will be nothing behind the copied works, and that they will be severely cheated?
After all, this is a black market transaction, there is no guarantee at all, and calling the police is a fantasy!
Unless the buyer has some special method to see through the layer of paint on the surface and see the real famous painting underneath, only in this way can he rest assured and complete this black market art transaction!
Thinking of this, Ye Tian immediately retracted his perspective and turned to look towards Leo.
As expected!
Leo had already put on a pair of glasses at this time and was concentrating on admiring the paintings on the display stand, with an excited smile on his face and almost cheering!
Without even thinking about it, he used these seemingly ordinary glasses to see directly through the paint on the surface of the painting and saw Bacon's famous painting hidden behind it.
The properties of those special pigments should be similar to a certain kind of developer. Under special light, it seems as if they do not exist at all.
Now that the target has been determined, Leo will probably transfer the money immediately to complete this black market transaction.
Then, he will raise his placard to bid and win this top-notch piece of art at an extremely low price. Everything is done without anyone noticing!
Even during transportation, this imitation painting can be used as a disguise. It is easy to deceive layers of security checks and police and successfully arrive in Miami.
As long as we return to Miami, everything will be fine!
Leo only needs to carefully clean off the outer layer of paint, and he can immediately harvest a top-notch piece of art without any risk!
"It's so cautious! It's so perfect! I admire it!"
Ye Tian sighed secretly again.
Then he began to speculate on the operation of the stolen money, which was the easiest place to reveal the truth.
With the caution of these art thieves, the bank account that received the stolen money must not be in the United States!
These bank accounts are either in highly confidential Swiss banks, or in a Caribbean island country, or a tax haven like Liechtenstein. They are in the name of a leather company and are very difficult to trace!
And after the stolen money arrives, it is very likely that it will be dispersed and transferred immediately, and then entered into the account of a multinational money laundering group to whiten the stolen money!
After some cleaning and thorough laundering, the money will become legal income and enter the many bank accounts of the art thieves.
From now on, the money can be used openly and even re-enter the United States!
After this round of shopping, although the income of the art thief will be reduced by a large amount, it is very safe! Is there anything more important than this?
Besides, no matter how small it is, it is still a very huge number. After all, this is a completely costless business, and the turnover is all profit!
Although these are all guesses, Ye Tian is sure that his guess is accurate.
No, after Leo wore his glasses and admired the paintings for a while, he quickly took off his glasses, took out his laptop and started getting busy, most likely making bank transfers!
The two bodyguards sitting next to him were on high alert at this time, watching the surrounding situation vigilantly, which further confirmed Ye Tian's suspicion.
Steal top-notch art, secretly contact buyers, cover famous paintings with special paint, find suitable community charity auctions, and then make anonymous donations.
Next, the buyer comes to the site to inspect the goods, makes a bank transfer, quickly launders the money, and finally the grand public auction! Let the buyer leave safely with the famous painting, and everyone will be happy!
Except for the great risk of stealing art, the rest is completely seamless, with no loopholes or traces to be found! A perfect criminal plan!
It would be extremely difficult for the police and FBI to catch these guys, almost like a dream!
Even if they seize stolen art and catch the buyer, it will be difficult to follow the clues and catch the seller.
It is very likely that the buyer and the seller have never met in person during the entire transaction. All exchanges and communication are conducted by phone or online, and the payment is also a bank transfer.
The buyer doesn’t even know whether the seller is a man or a woman, or which city he lives in, and the seller is not stupid enough to keep his used phone number or email address!
How to check this? The police and FBI are probably exhausted and can’t find a clue!
In addition, there are countless charity auctions like today across the United States every year, especially during major holidays, there may be many in one city!
If this art thief randomly selected the auction, there would be no way to trace it.
If this guy were smarter and notified the buyer before the auction was about to start, asking the buyer to go to a certain auction to receive the goods, it would be even more impossible to trace!
Thinking of this, Ye Tian couldn't help but give two thumbs up to these art thieves and was amazed! What a bunch of criminal geniuses!
I don’t know how many famous paintings these guys have sold using this method. I believe it’s not just one or two, it’s probably a very huge number!
The scale and number of art crimes are very large. They are transnational crimes second only to drugs and money laundering. If they can design such an almost perfect method of selling stolen goods, these guys must be the top art thieves!
While sighing secretly, Ye Tian also thought of another point.
That **** Cook got the news out of nowhere, and actually bit these art thieves and wanted to make a fortune from everyone!
I have to say, that **** Cook is very courageous and has a bigger appetite! Don’t be afraid of being stretched to death!
This bastard's approach is also very wise. If he can't catch the art thief, he will keep an eye on the buyer, and maybe he can find clues.
As long as the transaction is ruined during the auction and this famous painting is snatched from Leo's hands, the buyer may jump out and settle the score with Cook in order to maintain his credibility!
If so, the scene would be lively!
It’s just that Leo is unlucky! Little did he know that he had already become the target of others. Not only might he return empty-handed this time, but he might also have to pay a huge price!
Money is only one aspect. If you can save your life and return to Miami, you will be lucky!
That **** Cook is by no means a fuel-efficient lamp. He can instigate some small African countries to fight civil wars for his own benefit. How could he let go of a large number of top-notch works of art that are just around the corner!
He will do everything possible to find these art thieves and take those top-notch artworks as his own. As for the means he will use, he will definitely use all possible means!
Not only is Cook coveting these top-notch works of art, but Ye Tian is also very jealous of this huge wealth.
If you don’t have money, you’re a bastard! How could we turn a blind eye to such a huge fortune before our eyes?
Don't let me find any clues. If I find any clues, then all the top works of art are mine, all the wealth is mine, and no one can touch it!
As for that **** Cook, that idiot Leo, and those art thieves, why don’t they stay where they can! Just laugh if you can get out of Boston alive!
Ye Tian made an instant decision to participate in this matter and loot this huge wealth.
But he did not intend to compete for this famous Bacon painting. After all, he had promised Cook that he would not make a move today, and it was not easy to go back on his word.
He is ready to look for clues from another aspect and use his unique skills!
There must be an informant arranged by the art thief at the auction site, watching the entire transaction process to ensure that the transaction proceeds smoothly and reporting on the situation at any time.
They may not get involved in the auction, but they will definitely contact the guys hiding behind the scenes.
As long as the informant takes out his cell phone and starts contacting him, his chance will come.
At that time, not only can you determine who is the eyeliner and then track it, but you can also find out the identity, address and other details of the eyeliner through perspective.
You can even find out the contact information of the guy behind the scenes, which would be perfect!
The next thing is very simple. Under perspective, these guys will have no secrets to speak of, and that huge wealth will definitely belong to them!
The top priority right now is to find out the art thieves’ spy at the auction site!
After confirming these, Ye Tian immediately looked away from Leo and was ready to take action!
When he looked away, he glanced at the situation on Cook's side.
As expected! Cook was like a hungry wolf at this time, staring closely at the back of Leo's head, his eyes glowing green, extremely excited.
At the same time, he was also staring at the oil painting on the display stand, and he couldn't wait to see it.
The battle is about to begin! You fight first, and your brothers will join in later. Who will win, the answer will be revealed soon!
After turning his head, Ye Tian immediately whispered:
"Matthew, Fermi, please sit here for now. Don't raise your placards to bid on this oil painting. Just watch the show. There is a good show about to be performed! I'll go to the door and make a call! I'll be back in a minute!"
"Okay, go ahead, we are not interested in this oil painting at all"
Matthew nodded and said without thinking about it at all.
Then, Ye Tian stood up from his seat and walked quickly to the door.
Behind him, the new auctioneer Boris began to introduce himself, with a loud and passionate voice!
Soon, Ye Tian walked to the door.
But he did not go out to make a call. Instead, he stood at the door and against the wall, monitoring the entire auditorium from a high position, preparing to find the art thief's informant hidden in the crowd.
The auction has begun! A smoky battle begins!
