Chapter 306: Sculpture worth tens of thousands


After voting in the intercom, everyone finally chose pizza for today’s lunch, which is quick and easy! The location is a pizzeria near Highway 127 in Danville.
After parking the car and entering the restaurant, the reporters immediately gathered around.
"Steven, there is limited time on the road to conduct a complete interview. It's okay now. Can you tell us about these two sculptures? We want to know more."
"Yes! Steven, give you an explanation, let us also feel the charm of top art!"
Several reporters said, everyone is staring at Ye Tian's backpack, their eyes are extremely hot, full of expectations!
"No problem! You can take photos and interviews as much as you want, and I will explain the situation of these two sculptures in detail!"
Ye Tian nodded with a smile and agreed to the reporters' request.
Then, he took the two sculptures out of the bag and placed them on the dining table.
"Kakaka"
The shutter sound of the camera immediately rang.
The reporters seized the opportunity and began to take photos of the two sculptures from all angles, very carefully and comprehensively.
When the shutter sound of the camera fell slightly, Ye Tian immediately began to cooperate with reporters to ask questions, introducing the situation of the two sculptures and their origins.
"These two sculptures were created by Giacometti during his time in Paris from 1922 to 1935. For specific evidence, please see this signature..."
As the explanation unfolded, the reporters were soon led by him into Giacometti's art world and began to be fascinated by these two sculptures and the legends in the history of sculpture art!
Both the police and fbi agents were attracted over, standing on the periphery and listening with serious expressions.
Other guests and waiters in the restaurant also came over and listened to this rare lecture on modern sculpture art.
Ye Tian spoke very carefully. He not only explained the two sculptures, but also talked about the changes in Giacometti's artistic style and the expression in the works during the creation of the two sculptures.
At the same time, he also extended to talk about Giacometti's journey to become a world-renowned sculptor.
Ye Tian had an idea for explaining it in such detail.
These reporters in front of them are the best propagandists. Ye Tian intends to use them and the various media with their backs to propagate and hype these two sculptures and raise their value!
If you don't take advantage of such a great free publicity opportunity, you won't be a fool!
Antique artworks with stories are more valuable. This is the consensus of the collectors world!
What Ye Tian has to do now is to advertise the stories behind these two sculptures and let everyone know!
I believe these reporters are also willing to cooperate. They provide them with interesting news, and they provide free publicity opportunities. The best of both worlds, no one will object!
The dining room became quiet, only Ye Tian's voice echoed, and the rest were listening quietly, enjoying the influence of sculpture art.
Five minutes later, Ye Tian talked about one of the most concerned issues, the market price of these two sculptures.
"Mr. Giacometti is one of the greatest sculptors of the twentieth century, or one of the suffixes can be removed, he is the greatest modern sculptor.
Each of his sculptures is very valuable. The highest auction record before this was $44.3 billion sold in 2010. The work is "Walking Man".
But this record was recently refreshed. The latest record is US$400 million. It was sold by Christie’s in New York. The work is a life-size sculpture created in 1947, "The Indicator".
Before the words fell, the exclamation sounded loudly, and everyone was completely shocked by the price!
"Gosh! 400 million dollars, just a sculpture!"
"It's crazy! What's wrong with $400 million? It was just used to buy a life-size sculpture! The rich world is really incomprehensible!"
"These two sculptures are definitely also sky-high prices! Steven, tell me the price of these two treasures!"
Everyone is staring at the two sculptures on the table, their eyes are red, and their eyes are hot!
Suddenly, the emotions of envy, jealousy and hatred filled every trace of air!
Ye Tian paused, then smiled and continued:
"The value of these two sculptures must not exceed 100 million. They are works of Giacometti's growth period, and they are not the same as those of the mature period after World War II.
But because these two sculptures come from Giacometti, they have extraordinary artistic charm, and they are also valuable and top art works.
According to my estimation, the market price of these two sculptures should be between 20-50 million U.S. dollars, and it may exceed a little, but not a lot.
The price of this piece from the mid-1930s should be relatively higher because of its artistic style, creation time, and documentary records.
This one from the end of the 1920s should be low, but no matter how low it is, it will not be less than 20 million US dollars. If it is lower than this price, then I will collect it myself! "
Fry the pan directly on site! The exclamation suddenly sounded, one after another!
Everyone guessed that these two sculptures must be sky-high, but when Ye Tian said it personally, he was still almost stunned!
Two sculptures that add up to tens of millions! Just put it in front of my eyes, close at hand and within reach! It's almost like dreaming!
The people at the scene were all irritated and mad, every pair of eyes stared roundly, staring at the two sculptures in front of them, without blinking their eyelids!
After a short while, the camera's shutter sound went crazy again.
Although they have taken photos from all angles, every reporter feels that it is not enough at this time and must take more. It seems that only this way can alleviate the shock they feel!
The police, fbi agents, other guests in the restaurant, and restaurant staff are all in a sluggish state at this time, and many of them are bleeding red!
Walker and Raymond standing behind Ye Tian, ​​as well as the four Lexington armed security guards, all began to be on high alert, staring at the crazy people in front of them vigilantly.
Ye Tian also increased his vigilance, staring at the police and fbi with guns. Who can guarantee that the law enforcement officers will not go crazy and break the law in an instant?
As for the others, he didn't worry too much. First, he might not have a gun, and no one would dare to take risks here. That was undoubtedly the most stupid death-hunting behavior!
Betty also flushed with excitement, if it weren't for Ye Tian's small hand, she would have cheered for a long time!
After exclaiming, when everyone's mood calmed down, Ye Tian said again:
"One more thing, I have entrusted these two sculptures to Sotheby's auction house. They will come soon to appraise them and take them away.
The reason why the commissioned auction is carried out so quickly is for safety considerations, not only for the safety of me and a few friends, but also for everyone's safety.
I hope everyone can help me spread the news, so that those ill-intentioned can dispel the thoughts they shouldn't have. These two sculptures belong to me and no one can take them away! "
"Don't worry! Steven, we will send this news soon to let everyone know, after all, this is also about our safety!"
The reporters responded enthusiastically and very cooperatively.
"Thank you for your understanding and support! To express my gratitude, I have invited this lunch, but I must remember not to drive after drinking. There are many police officers here!"
"Hahaha, thank you, Steven!"
Amidst the laughter, everyone dispersed, returned to their seats, ready to enjoy a free lunch.
Some people were upset at the scene. An old white man in his 50s said loudly:
"This is Kentucky's baby~EbookFREE.me~You can't take them away, you should leave them in Kentucky!"
Ye Tian looked up at this one, then smiled and replied:
"Sir, these two sculptures are indeed rare treasures, but it is a pity that the Kentucky people did not treat them as treasures, but discarded them as rubbish!
So I'll take them away, don't let these two art treasures be ruined in Kentucky. I believe that no one wants to see such a result! I will find the ideal destination for them! "
The old white man was so speechless that he could only stare at Ye Tian angrily, his face full of disgust.
Ye Tian ignored this person, put away the two sculptures on the table, and was about to enjoy lunch.
