Chapter 265: Advance to Ohio


The next day, everyone had packed up and prepared to head south to Kentucky.
But they did not leave immediately, but continued to stay in the hotel room because Ye Tian was waiting for someone.
At ten o'clock, the waiting people finally arrived!
David and Sotheby's director of the American Contemporary Art Department, as well as two pop art appraisal experts, several armed security guards, flew to Pittsburgh by Sotheby's special plane to appraise "Marilyn Monroe".
After expert appraisal, if this portrait is indeed the authentic work of Andy Warhol, Ye Tian will sign a commission auction contract on the spot and send this famous painting directly to Sotheby's autumn auction!
Ye Tian is naturally very certain about the authenticity of this painting, but whether the two pop art experts at Sotheby's can identify it is not known!
There is no signature on this painting, and it is a silk screen print. There are too many copies of the same kind on the market! It is really difficult to come up with the appraisal conclusion immediately.
Even if they cannot immediately identify the authenticity and cannot sign the commissioned auction contract, Ye Tian is still planning to commission them to bring the painting back to New York and deposit it in the Sotheby's vault.
Then they can contact other pop art experts and Andy Warhol researchers to continue the identification, or wait until they come back from the south to do this again!
All in all, Ye Tian definitely didn't want to take this ten-million-dollar painting and drive through the four southern states to shop for treasures on corridor 127. That would be too dangerous! Just asking for trouble!
If the news is accidentally leaked out, it will surely attract countless people with unpredictable hearts! Prepare to rob yourself on the 127 highway!
Even if you have a powerful force of deterrence, and the police and the FBI follow closely, it is useless!
10 million dollars! This can definitely stimulate a lot of people to utter madness, and they will not care about any danger at all! Ignore all obstacles! Flock to yourself!
If so, this trip to Corridor 127 will definitely become a journey of blood and fire! This is a scene Ye Tian didn't want to see!
Of course, in case someone does not have eyesight, he has to hit the muzzle and find his own death! He is absolutely not welcome! Will definitely greet all the who come to the door!
Just after ten o'clock, David and the others walked into the suite, and several armed security guards who had fought side by side with Ye Tian were on guard outside the door.
"Steven, it seems that Sotheby's needs to give you a special autumn shoot! You guy actually dug up a baby again, and it is the real thing of Andy Warhol! Fortunately, even Gods will be jealous!"
David laughed and said loudly, the envy in his eyes could not be concealed.
He is very happy at the moment, and he has a large commission to earn!
As for the authenticity of the paintings, he has no doubts, they are definitely authentic! When did Steven look away? No doubt at all.
"Hahaha, I also hope that on this day, Sotheby's can open a grand special autumn auction for me, it will shake the entire collection world, I believe this day will not be too far away!"
Ye Tian laughed and hugged David, his verbal expression was full of confidence and also extremely firm.
After greeting Betty and the others, David began to introduce the three people who followed, all of them Sotheby's.
"Steven, this is Sotheby's American Contemporary Art Director, Robinson, these two are pop art appraisal experts, Campbell and Samantha"
"Good morning, this is Steven, and thank you for coming to Pittsburgh to help me identify artworks!"
Ye Tian greeted with a smile and shook hands with these experts.
"Steven, congratulations on finding baby again, Andy Warhol's "Marilyn Monroe", wow! Thinking of these two names can make people crazy! You are absolutely super lucky!
You are now a platinum customer of Sotheby's, and the highest priority service object, as long as you need it, no matter where, we are always on call to provide you with the most outstanding identification and auction services! "
Robinson spoke enthusiastically, his eyes bright and full of desire.
The other two appraisal experts were equally excited.
For those of them who study American contemporary art, Andy Warhol is the top god, can you not be excited to appraise his paintings?
After chatting for a few words, everyone immediately went straight to the topic.
Ye Tian took out "Marilyn Monroe" and put it on the table.
"Everyone, please enjoy, this is Marilyn of Andy Warhol, America's goddess!"
After speaking, he stepped aside and chatted with David about New York in a low voice, waiting for the appraisal result to be released.
Robinson and the others were already very excited, holding identification tools, and rushing to this famous pop art painting, almost fanatical!
The appraisal begins!
Several appraisal experts were holding high-powered magnifying glasses, inspecting every detail of the paintings, very carefully and carefully, and did not miss any nuances.
When they encounter areas where they are inconsistent, they will argue, or quickly reach an agreement, or hold on to their own opinions, and even fight red!
There is no doubt that this is a professional attitude!
Fifteen minutes later, Robinson and the others raised their heads one after another, and the preliminary assessment was over.
At this time, there was both excitement and doubt in their eyes.
The three discussed a few sentences in a low voice, and soon formed a unified opinion. Then Robinson began to announce the conclusion of the appraisal.
"Steven, we have identified that the canvases and paints for this "Marilyn Monroe" are from New York in the 1960s. It is a local New York brand, and it has now ceased production and disappeared.
This kind of canvas and paint are the most commonly used brand of Andy Warhol. From this, we can basically determine that this painting should be the hand of Andy Warhol and is his work.
But we can only say the basic judgment at present, but we are not sure that this painting is not signed by Andy, and it is a silk-screen print, so it is difficult to get a definite answer immediately.
If the conclusion is to be determined, there is still a series of appraisals to be done. We hope to bring this painting back to New York for the most comprehensive appraisal and come up with the final appraisal conclusion! "
After speaking, Robinson and the others looked nervously at Ye Tian's face, hoping to hear the answer they wanted most!
This is of course Marilyn of Andy Warhol, buddy is extremely sure!
Ye Tian burst into a confident smile, then he nodded and agreed to Robinson's request.
"You can take this painting back to New York for a full appraisal, but it must not be damaged, because I am extremely sure that this is the authentic work of Andy!
When you start the appraisal, you may wish to join the appraisal with the Museum of Modern Art. This painting and MOMA's Marilyn are likely to be the same works.
Comparing the two, it should be much easier and faster. You will definitely be able to get a surprise and draw conclusions early. I am waiting for your good news! "
"Awesome! Thank you Steven, we also think this is very similar to the MOMA picture. I didn't expect you to have this idea. When we go back, we will immediately contact MOMA, I believe they will not refuse!"
Robinson shook his fist excitedly, and the other two immediately began to cheer.
Next, Ye Tian signed several documents and took a lot of detailed photos of "Marilyn Monroe", and then gave the famous painting to Robinson and the others.
When things were settled, David and Robinson left here and returned to New York!
Ye Tian and the others also took their suitcases, and walked out of the hotel with ease, towards the parking lot!
...
Soon, two black full-size SUVs quickly drove out of Pittsburgh and drove southwest along Highway 79, heading straight for West Virginia!
After their car, the Penn State Police and the FBI followed, still biting tightly, and did not dare to relax.
"This New York is going to cross the United States and go to the West Coast? Then the guys on the way must be uneasy!"
"Follow him! As long as this doesn't cause trouble in Pennsylvania, the guys just now really scared me, thinking that something big is going to happen!"
"Me too. Fortunately, it is Sotheby's armed security. There is no danger! I bet the Steven must have dug a baby in Pittsburgh. I don't know what it is?"
At the same time of the discussion, looking at the SUV in front, the eyes of several policemen were full of envy.
What a lucky bastard! God is so unfair, why is this all the good things?
Pittsburgh was not far from the state border. An hour later, Ye Tian and their two cars turned on Highway 70 and left Pennsylvania.
When the two SUVs entered the territory of West Virginia, Jason's excited voice soon came from the intercom.
"Steven, those police didn't follow up, finally don't worry about speeding!"
"Hahaha, of course, this is not their jurisdiction! If you cross the border again!"
Ye Tian replied with a big smile, his expression very relaxed.
It is absolutely impossible to be comfortable to be tracked like a bone gangrene! After getting rid of the police, his mood became much more relaxed.
"The West Virginia police seems to have no response. This is so cool! You can finally run free!"
Walker's voice came soon after, with excitement!
Obviously, the police followed him like a baton, which made him depressed.
When the voice fell, the two SUVs raised their speeds at the same time, and it was 85 miles per hour in a blink of an eye.
Amid the roar of the engines, the two behemoths were like two black lightning bolts, galloping forward quickly, passing by countless vehicles, attracting many people on the road to look at them!
85 miles, this is the upper limit of the highway speed in the United States. If it exceeds this, the police will be called!
If you don't want to stage a thrilling road chase battle, it is best to stay within this speed on American highways!
But unfortunately, the good times did not last long!
West Virginia is very narrow here~EbookFREE.me~ It didn't take 20 minutes to use it, and Ye Tian and the others rushed into Ohio.
On the edge of the state boundary, the Ohio police have long been waiting, and they are staring at the two black full-size SUVs that are speeding up!
"Jason, prepare to slow down! 65 miles!"
Walker's voice sounded in time when there were about 100 meters away from the state boundary.
"Roger that!"
Jason responded excitedly, with a slight smile.
The moment they crossed the state boundary, the speed of the two SUVs just dropped and entered Ohio at a speed of 65 miles.
Seeing this scene, several Ohio police officers couldn't help but lick their teeth.
Cunning New York bastard! You'd better not cause trouble in Ohio, otherwise you will definitely be unable to eat!
The two SUVs continued to speed forward, and the tails from behind followed!
