"Treasure Hunt for the World (
Chapter 3160
In the exclamation, the eyes of everyone looking at this cubist oil painting suddenly became extremely hot, and they were almost burning.
Especially the two high-ranking Moroccan officials who had just been coveting this painting and were ready to shoot, regretfully wanted to slap themselves severely.
If they knew that this was the work of the cubist master Brack and that it was a top art piece worth at least 40 million U.S. dollars, they would have half hesitation.
Even if they become the object of ridicule, even if they are expelled from public office by the Moroccan government, they will not hesitate to take down this priceless top art piece.
With a huge wealth of at least 40 million US dollars, what does it matter to be laughed at? What does it matter if you lose your job? Not worth mentioning at all.
Everyone, including Faiz, is 100% sure at this time.
This cubist oil painting is the work of Brack, the founder of Cubism, and it is a top-notch artwork of invaluable value.
Otherwise, Steven would never buy this oil painting.
As for what he said, it is not certain whether this painting is a work of Brak or not, but it is just an excuse to cover up, and no one believes it at all.
Just as everyone was crazy about envy and jealousy, Ye Tian frowned suddenly, and then pretended to be surprised:
"This is a cubist painting. Why is it equipped with a Rococo style frame? It looks too awkward. If I guess right, this frame should be a post-matching."
Following his remarks, everyone looked at the frame of this oil painting.
As he said, this is a Rococo-style golden picture frame with exquisite and cumbersome patterns carved on it, which looks quite gorgeous.
However, it does not contrast with this Cubist painting, and there are some conflicts in the tones, which is indeed a bit awkward to look at.
"Steven, when I received this cubist oil painting two years ago, it was this rococo-style golden frame on the outside. It should have been replaced by the previous owner. I didn't make any changes."
Faiz explained a few words, still eyes full of pain.
Ye Tian looked at the hapless guy, and then at the cubist painting in his hand.
After a short pause, he said:
"Faiz, I plan to take down this golden frame of Rockk style, and then put this Cubist painting into the painting tube, so that it is easy to carry."
"No problem, this painting belongs to you now, how to deal with it is your right, I have no right to interfere"
Faiz nodded and said.
"Okay, but I want to borrow your tools"
Ye Tian said with a smile.
Afterwards, Faiz took out the corresponding tools from the cabinet and handed them over.
After receiving the tools, Ye Tian immediately began to remove the frame.
For him, this job is too simple, and he is already familiar with it.
After a while, he opened the Rococo-style golden frame and took off the drawing board with the canvas stretched.
Later, he was ready to start tearing down the canvas.
When he turned the drawing board to observe the situation on the back of the drawing board, he suddenly paused.
Immediately afterwards, he pretended to be excited and said:
"Hey! There are two swash French letters here, which look like ‘GB’"
With that, he pointed to the lower right corner of the back of the drawing board.
Following the direction of his fingers, David, Yehya, and Faiz, who stood nearby, saw the two French letters written on the canvas in the lower right corner.
The part of the canvas on which the two French letters were written was artificially folded to the back of the drawing board and nailed to the drawing board.
Because of this, there is no artist's signature on the surface of this Cubist painting.
In fact, this Cubist painting was signed by the artist, but it was hidden in a very clumsy way.
As for whether the act of hiding the signature was intentional or unintentional, it is not known.
"There are really two French letters here. Could it be Brack's personal signature?"
David said in surprise, but his eyes were full of smiles.
He was not surprised by this result, he had seen it too many times before.
"Let me go! The artist's signature is hidden here. Who on earth re-bound this Cubist oil painting? Isn't this cheating?"
Ye Haiya was so annoyed that she slapped her thigh with anger.
Looking at Izzy again, it was like being struck by thunder, his head was about to explode, and his eyes instantly became blood red.
At this time, he regretted that he wanted to shoot himself.
What a flaw in this awkward Rococo style frame outside! Why didn't I find out before?
If I removed this frame before, I wouldn't miss this priceless top art piece, and I wouldn't be looted by the Steven!
While regretting secretly, he hated the guy who re-bound the oil painting and deliberately concealed his signature, and pulled out the eighteenth generation of that guy's ancestors to greet him again.
But he never thought about whether he would still receive this cubist oil painting if the artist's signature was exposed outside.
In that case, he might not even make $20,000.
Following David's discussion, the rest of the scene came forward and saw the two French letters.
At the same time, Ye Tian also pretended to be excited and gave an explanation.
"The full name of the cubist master Brack is George Brack, and the abbreviation of his name is GB. His personal signature on many paintings is also these two French letters.
This is exactly the same as the signature on "Estark's House". It seems that my guess is correct. This "Berber with a donkey" is the work of Brak!
Judging from the canvas binding technique and the rococo-style frame outside, it is obvious that someone has re-bound this cubist oil painting, hiding the artist's signature.
Why does this guy do this? It is unknown, but it is certain that during the ‘Cezanne Cubism Period’, Braque did come to Morocco and created this outstanding painting.
Now that it is confirmed that this is a work by Brak and his personal signature is on the painting, the value of this painting must be reassessed. Now it is worth at least 60 million US dollars! "
The voice was not over, and the pan was fried again at the scene.
"What? A signature is worth twenty million dollars, which is crazy!"
"Gosh! How could this happen? It's incredible!"
Just as everyone exclaimed, Faiz fell to the ground with a plop.
"What am I missing? What an idiot!"
He muttered to himself, looking desperate.
Looking at him, everyone was full of sympathy, but helpless.
Ye Tian looked at Izzy, and then continued to disassemble the canvas nailed to the drawing board, acting more carefully than before.
Outside the antique shop.
Many people and media reporters watching the excitement are all staring at the door of this antique shop, and everyone is full of curiosity.
Some of them wanted to enter the antique shop, and wanted to see the situation in the shop, but they were all stopped by the Moroccan police in charge of guarding and could only wait outside.
However, through the exclamation from time to time in the antique shop and some content seen through the glass window, people still found something.
Everyone has guessed that Ye Tian must have discovered something in this antique shop, and this discovery is quite amazing.
But I just don’t know, what exactly is this discovery, and how valuable is it?
As time goes by, the street in front of the antique shop has become more and more lively.
People are all talking about it, and they let their imaginations and speculations go.
"I don't know what treasure Steven that lucky found? It hasn't been out for so long, maybe a top-notch antique cultural relic or artwork of priceless value has been found."
"Who can imagine that there is a treasure hidden in this ordinary antique shop, and it can be seen by Steven, why didn't we find it!"
Just as people were discussing it, the closed antique shop suddenly opened, and Ye Tian and his party walked out of it one after another.
Immediately afterwards, there was a cry of grief and anger from the antique shop.
Everyone was taken aback by the wailing, and looked at the antique shop in surprise.
In a blink of an eye, people understood what had happened.
Obviously, this is the sad whine of the ransacked antique shop owner.
There is no doubt that this is another tragedy, and there is another unlucky person in the world.
People have no time to pay attention to this hapless guy, and pay more attention to what treasure Ye Tian found in this antique shop? How valuable is that baby?
The media reporters gathered around the entrance of the antique shop began to ask questions loudly.
"Hello, Mr. Steven, what did you find in this antique shop? Can you tell me something? Or show it to everyone."
"Steven, I think you have a painting tube in your hand. Is this an oil painting that you found? Which famous painter's work is it?"
Hearing these questions, Ye Tian stopped immediately.
He glanced at the media reporters, then smiled and said loudly:
"Good afternoon, friends from the media and reporters, there is nothing I can't tell you. In this antique shop, I found a work by the cubist master Brack.
This painting was created by Braque during his stay in Morocco. It is based on the Berbers. The subject matter is very rare. At first I couldn't confirm that it was Brack's work.
Later, I found evidence that it was indeed a work created by the cubist master Braque during the Cézanne Cubism period. It is a top-level work of art! "
Before the voice was over, the scene was boiling.
"Ah! I heard that right? In such an ordinary antique shop, there are works by the cubist master Brack. Are they real or fake?"
"It's no wonder that the antique shop owner is so distraught. If it was me and lost such a top art piece of art, I would give myself a shot in the head!"
After some exclamation, someone asked aloud.
"Steven, can you show you the work of this master of art Brack? What is the value of this cubist painting?"
There is no doubt that this is an issue that everyone is very concerned about.
Everyone looked at Ye Tian, looking forward to his answer.
Ye Tian smiled and shook his head.
"I'm very sorry, ladies and gentlemen, in such an environment and occasion, it is not suitable to display such a valuable and top art. As for the value of this painting, it will be kept secret for the time being."
After speaking, he waved to everyone at the scene, and then took David and the others to leave here.
Under the of many Moroccan police and security personnel, they went straight through the crowd and continued to move forward.
It was still early, and Ye Tian didn't plan to return to the hotel immediately.
There are also two antique shops not far in front, so naturally you can't miss it.
The group of them had just left, and the media reporters gathered at the entrance of the antique shop immediately flooded into the antique shop in Faiz.
After a while, these guys rushed out of the antique shop again.
Next, Ye Tian found news of a painting by the cubist master Brack in this antique shop, and it spread quickly across the entire street, the entire Rabat, and the entire world like a hurricane.
The photo of this cubist painting has also spread all over the world.
When people heard the news, especially when they knew that the painting was worth at least 60 million US dollars, they were all stunned and envious.
Immediately afterwards, the people and media reporters gathered on this street immediately ran forward along the street.
Everyone wants to see if there will be another miracle.
At this time, Ye Tian and the others had already walked into another antique shop and began to appreciate the so-called antique cultural relics and works of art displayed in the shop.
Seeing them come in, the antique shop owner's legs were shaking, and he almost cried.
However, he had to squeeze out a smile that was uglier than crying to welcome these guests.
Fortunately, he was not looted, at least not looted by Ye Tian.
In the remaining two antique shops, Ye Tian didn't make another move, but just took a look around.
To be precise, he did not find any antique relics and artworks worthy of his own purchase.
Just let Bowie and the others pick up the few small leaks.
After visiting these two antique shops, Ye Tian and the others went to a nearby tourist attraction.
It was not until 5 o'clock in the afternoon that the group of them returned to the hotel by car.
As soon as he returned to the presidential suite on the top floor of the hotel, Ye Tian's cell phone rang. It was a call from Julian of MOMA.
The phone connected, and Julian's familiar voice came over immediately.
"Steven, you guys are so lucky. In a place like Rabat, Morocco, you can find the outstanding works of the cubist master Braque. It's incredible."
"Hahaha, I was really lucky. At first I thought it was just the work of an unnamed Cubist painter, but whoever thought it turned out to be the work of the master of art, it was a huge surprise!"
Ye Tian said with a triumphant smile.
Listening to his laughter, Julian, who was far away in New York, was almost crazy with envy.
But he knew that this kind of good luck was based on Ye Tian's incomparable vision, not just luck.
After a few greetings, this guy went straight to the subject.
"Steven, I just saw a photo of that cubist oil painting. To be honest, I never thought that Brack would have such an unknown work.
This subject is too rare, and the painting is also very good, it is breathtaking, it is definitely a rare top art piece of art, and it is of great research value.
As you know, our MOMA focuses on collecting various modern art works. Can we sell this cubist oil painting to us? We can discuss the price."
Without hesitation, Ye Tian directly rejected the old friend.
"I'm very sorry, Julian, I don't plan to sell this Cubist painting by Brack, but I plan to collect it by myself. It will be displayed in my Museum of Nature in the future. Everyone is welcome to come and enjoy it.
You have also said that the subject of Berbers is very rare~EbookFREE.me~ Through this painting, people can not only see the original appearance of Cubist paintings, but also recognize the Berbers in Africa. This is very rare! "
When the voice fell, there was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone.
After a while, Julian said regretfully:
"When I called you, I guessed it was the result, but I still dialed the phone with a glimmer of hope, hoping that a miracle would happen and we would receive this top art piece of art.
But it’s a pity that the miracle only happened to you, but it has nothing to do with us. It seems that I can only go to your museum to appreciate this cubist painting in the future."
"Don't regret it, Julian, you are welcome to come to my private museum to appreciate this painting in the future, and you will be able to see more top artworks at that time."
Ye Tian smiled and comforted the old friend. The self-satisfaction in his words could not be concealed.
After Julian, he received calls from several old friends.
Without exception, these guys came for this painting of Brak, and they all wanted to acquire this priceless top art.
Ye Tian’s answer is the same, that is, instead of selling this top-level artwork, he prepares his own collection and welcomes them to go to BJ’s museum to appreciate this painting in the future.
Then he received a call from the King of Morocco himself, hoping that he could bring this "Berber with a donkey" to a banquet in the evening, so that everyone can appreciate this priceless painting.
For this request, Ye Tian agreed very readily.
He did not believe that Moroccans would play any tricks, forcibly buy or leave this painting, or exchange fakes for real.
In that case, they will get nothing, not only the painting, but also the treasure of Atlantis!
