Chapter 1387: Lover's gift

When the laughter fell a little, Ye Tian continued:
"After introducing the painter Susanna, let's talk about this oil painting. Everything that this oil painting shows accurately reflects Susanna's style of painting, which is fanatical and full of passion.
Susanna paints like crazy. The sketches she draws are not to be fitted with beautiful frames, but to capture a moment of turbulent and tense life.
She paints without any creation, always curiously and accurately trying to put the shape of the human body into her stiff, even sharp, yet always ingenious and harmonious brushwork.
Although her painting technique is a bit blunt, her expression is bright and powerful. She is a rare painter with a unique style of male painting that controls all feelings with will.
Susanna does not admit that she has any teacher. In fact, she does have nothing in common with all the major painters who use her as a model. She only agrees to say that she has been inspired by Gauguin's skills.
It’s a pity that although Susanna’s paintings have a good reputation in the critics, they are not selling well. For a while, they only sold for three francs. Her son’s paintings always sold for sky-high prices,..."
While explaining, Ye Tian had already turned on perspective, appreciating the secret hidden behind this painting, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes from time to time.
Under Susanna's oil painting, there is a slightly smaller oil painting hidden on the solid wood drawing board, which is perfectly covered by Susanna's oil painting.
There is a layer of white cloth between the two paintings, which separates the two paintings. No flaws can be seen from the surface!
The hidden oil painting is an outstanding painting during the peak of Gauguin, and it is also an undoubtedly top-level work of art, worth at least 25 million US dollars!
And this is the real reason why Ye Tian stopped and stopped for a long time in front of Susanna's oil painting!
The first moment he walked into this gallery, Ye Tian saw this oil painting at a glance. The nearly twenty layers of charming halo on Gauguin's paintings made his eyes dizzy!
Although this painting by Susanna is not bad, the signature of the author clearly visible in the lower right corner of the painting has eliminated all the possibility of missing it!
Not only did Ye Tian know this, but the gallery owner also felt like Ming Jing in his heart!
But there is something different under Susanna's oil painting. That is another matter. There is no doubt that this is another shocking leak, enough to cause a lot of shock!
If it were not for the hidden Gauguin paintings, Ye Tian had already stepped away, how could he have the mind to stay here for so long.
Who is Gauguin? As mentioned before, he is one of the three famous post-impressionists and one of Susanna's former lovers.
From this point of view, it is quite normal for Susanna to have Gauguin's paintings!
More importantly, in the outstanding Gauguin painting in Ye Tian's eyes, the figure painted is the dancing Susanna Valadon, maybe it is Gauguin's token of love to Susanna!
After thoroughly penetrating the two paintings inside and out, Ye Tian retracted his eyes and ended the perspective.
After explaining the painting of Susanna and admiring it quietly for a while, Ye Tian turned his head to look at the gallery owner and asked with a smile:
"Mr. Albert, what's the price of this Susanna painting? I only saw Susanna's painting in the museum before, but I have never seen it in the market!
This time I came across a painting by Susanna, then I don't want to miss it. If the price is reasonable, I intend to accept this painting by Susanna! "
Hearing this, the gallery owner Albert did not immediately give an offer, but came over and glanced suspiciously at the painting by Susanna!
It's a pity that he has studied that oil painting many times and has not found any abnormalities before. At this time, it is naturally the same, everything is the same!
After regaining his gaze, Albert thought for a moment, and then gave an offer for the painting.
"One hundred and fifty thousand euros, Mr. Steven, if you can accept the price, this Susanna painting belongs to you"
Ye Tian shook his head slightly, and then returned an offer.
"The price is too high for me to accept. Although Susanna is a celebrity in modern art history, it is because of her ambiguous relationship with many major artists.
As a painter, whether she was alive or after her death, the antique art market did not wait to see her works. The price of Susanna's paintings has never risen!
I am a businessman, not a collector of antique art at all costs. For me, this is a business. Since it is a business, of course it must follow the market value!
One hundred twenty thousand euros! This is my quotation. Based on my understanding of the market situation of Susanna's paintings, this is a very rare high price. I wonder if you can accept it? "
After speaking, Ye Tian looked at Albert with a smile, waiting for the other party to make a decision.
Albert was silent and began to ponder.
As a gallery operator, he certainly understands the market situation of Susanna's paintings, and he also knows that Ye Tian is right. 120,000 euros is indeed a very good price, very attractive!
But who thinks money is so hot? Albert is certainly no exception!
Albert quickly raised his head, looked at Ye Tian, ​​and tentatively quoted a new price.
"One hundred and thirty thousand euros! Steven, this is the lowest price I can accept. For a super rich like you, ten thousand euros is just a drop in the bucket, but it means a lot to us!"
When he said this, he looked at Ye Tian expectantly, looking forward to hearing the most beautiful answer.
After pondering for a while, Ye Tian smiled and nodded, and stretched out his right hand to Albert.
"Okay, Mr. Albert, it was sold for 130,000 euros. Although the price is a bit high, it is not easy to encounter a painting by Susanna. I am willing to accept this price!"
"It's great, Mr. Steven, the deal, you are such a generous fellow!"
Albert said excitedly, and shook Ye Tian's right hand vigorously.
The deal is done! The priceless Gauguin paintings were successfully obtained, just like the ones for nothing!
Secretly cheered, Ye Tian smiled and said:
"Albe, I don't know which way you like to collect money, bank check or transfer? I can do it at your convenience. Now I can pay for the goods in full!
As you know, I am not a French person. I want to bring this oil painting back to New York. In order to avoid some unnecessary troubles, you need to issue some certificates to pass the French customs!
It can be seen that this oil painting should always be in the hands of experts, at least in the hands of art lovers who know how to paint. The entire painting is well preserved, which is very precious!
Let’s talk about the oil on the canvas. You can’t see any wrinkles or cracks. The humidity is very good. Although the frame has a history of nearly a hundred years, you can’t see any cracks!
Next, we will stay in Europe for a while. To make it easier to carry, I am going to take the canvas off the solid wood drawing board and put it in a telescopic drawing tube, and the frame will be taken apart!
After completing the transaction, you need to provide some tools to let me disassemble the frame and remove the canvas on the spot. Of course, you also need to provide a retractable painting tube and a box!
From the beginning of the transaction until I finally take off the canvas, we will shoot videos. As you know, I am not very likable in France, so I might avoid some troubles! "
When he said these words, Ye Tian's expression was very calm and he could not see any abnormalities.
Although he can take this painting back to New York first, and then take out Gauguin's masterpiece hidden under Susanna's oil painting and make a fortune!
But considering the value of Gauguin's paintings, similar to this top art, if you want to openly trade in the art market and sell at sky-high prices, you must have a clear source and stand scrutiny!
If not, it is likely to cause some trouble, and even attract the coveting of others!
That's why he planned to take apart the picture frame here in front of Albert. That invaluable Gauguin masterpiece is naturally a pleasant surprise!
As a result, such an understanding can be formed in the eyes of other people!
The reason why Ye Tian was able to harvest this outstanding Gauguin painting can only be attributed to his overwhelming luck. God is always with him. Apart from this, there is no other explanation!
After such an operation, no one can question the origin of this painting. There will be no hindrance to sending this post-impressionist masterpiece to top auctions in the future!
Of course, the result of this will inevitably cause Albert to be extremely painful. He only wants to jump the Seine River in regret, and will hate Ye Tian to crush his steel teeth!
However, Ye Tian didn't care how he felt.
In Ye Tian's view, the sea of ​​people who hate him is gone, one more is not more, one less is a lot, who can bite me?
Furthermore, even if this outstanding Gauguin painting passes by, it will fall into the hands of other tourists or collectors, and it will not belong to Albert!
If Albert could find this painting, it would not be possible to put it now!
Something will occur if it belongs to your life, if not, do not push it! It is definitely the most famous saying!
"Bank transfer, Steven, it's more convenient and faster. As for the tools you said to remove the picture frame, and the retractable picture tube, there is no problem, what I have here is!
I have to say that you are very thoughtful. The size of this Susanna oil painting is not small. It is really inconvenient to carry the frame around~EbookFREE.me~ It is obviously more suitable to carry it with a painting tube!
When we finish the art transaction, I will ask the clerk to take the tool to remove the frame, let's start the transaction, and I will issue you the relevant certificate of this painting immediately! "
Albert nodded in excitement, with a bright smile on his face.
Ye Tian shook his head slightly, pointed at a landscape oil painting next to him and said:
"Don't worry, Albert, the painting depicting the landscape of Fontainebleau looks pretty good, I deliberately included it as a souvenir from this trip to the Fontainebleau forest!"
What he was referring to was a super-realistic landscape painting, which looked like a photo, and was made by a French painter in the 1960s and 1970s!
The French painter is also considered a small celebrity. The price of his paintings on the market is generally around 50,000 to 60,000 Euros, and the most expensive paintings do not exceed 200,000 Euros!
The reason why Ye Tian wanted to buy the landscape painting was not because he liked hyper-realism or the French painter, but because he planned to use the painting as a cover, so as not to arouse suspicion!
