Chapter 701 A masterpiece that shocked the painting world
"The signature is really Van Gogh's name!" In shock, Lin Haitao took a long time to come to his senses, and then he was confused and said, "How could this happen?! Isn't this incredible?!"
Tian Tian, ??who was standing aside, had wide-eyed eyes and couldn't recover for a long time, because she never imagined that what was originally a fake work imitating the handwriting of a famous person would suddenly transform into the famous Van Gogh. paintings!
He Qing is simply doing magic, otherwise how could it be so magical?
He Qing smiled slightly and replied: "The real signature of this painting is covered by this very secretive sticker, so you can't see its true face. This is not an inferior imitation of Paul C¨¦zanne at all. It is a work by Van Gogh, who is famous in the foreign painting world, and it is undoubtedly authentic!"
Lin Haitao nodded hurriedly and said: "I believe it is an authentic work by the great artist Van Gogh, but Brother Qing, howhow did you see this? This painting must have passed through the hands of many people when it came out of Mr. Lu's hands. There are many big collectors like Mr. Lu among them, so how come no one noticed it but you?"
He Qing replied seriously: "I discovered this situation by accident. Maybe Mr. Lu and the others didn't pay much attention to it. They preconceived that it was an inferior imitation, so there was no need to do any detailed research. .¡Ñ¡±
Lin Haitao smiled and said: "It seems that you are still attentive. You can actually see that there is something hidden in the signature place. If it were me, I would never think of going there even if I wanted to! In this way, wouldn't you have picked up a huge Is it missing?! Because as we all know, Van Gogh¡¯s works hold a very high status in the world of painting and have repeatedly set records in the history of art auctions. Among the works he auctioned on record, the one with the lowest transaction price seems to have been worth tens of millions of dollars. Well, the highest one has reached more than 100 million!"
He Qing nodded solemnly and said: "Yes, most of them are over 50 million. The auction price should be higher now, because his works have basically been collected by organizations and individuals, and there is no entry or exit. The market Very few are in circulation."
"Yes, things are rare and valuable. The painting you obtained through some strange combination of circumstances must be worth a lot, at least tens of millions of dollars, and possibly even hundreds of millions!" Lin Haitao said with excitement.
"I suddenly picked up a treasure painting worth billions of dollars. Brother Qing, you are so awesome!" Tian Tian finally realized what he was doing and couldn't help but admire.
He Qing shook his head and said: "I'm not sure yet."
"Is there anything you're not sure about?" Tian Tian said, "Will the things you are optimistic about be wrong?"
He Qing smiled bitterly and said: "This is not our Chinese antique. It is an ancient object from abroad, and it is a painting. I really don't have deep research in this area and can't put it on the table. To say the least, even if you believe me, I Even with this confidence, foreign art collectors will not believe it. What they believe is the appraisal experts in their field."
"That's right." Tian Tian nodded gently.
Lin Haitao said: "As long as it is authentic, are you afraid that others will not be able to identify it? Brother Qing, what are you going to do with this painting? Are you going to collect it yourself or sell it? If you put it up for auction, you will definitely make a lot of money. Money! After all, this is the work of Van Gogh, the 'genius' in the painting world, and it is very popular at auctions!"
He Qing said: "I haven't considered this issue yet, but if I really want to take action, it is better to auction it at a large foreign auction company. If I go back and auction it again, I'm afraid I won't be able to sell it at an ideal price."
"That's for sure!" Lin Haitao nodded vigorously, "If you want to sell it at a well-known foreign auction company, you will definitely get a good price, or even an unimaginable sky-high price!"
The more he talked, the more excited he became, as if He Qing had already made a decision. We are going to put Van Gogh's "Chestnut Grove" up for auction immediately, and it will fetch a sky-high price of tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of dollars.
He Qing said calmly: "No matter what, let's do an appraisal first and wait until we get the appraisal certificate."
"Appraisal?" Lin Haitao asked, "How to authenticate? Do you want to find oil painting appraisal experts abroad and ask them to authenticate it?"
He Qing nodded and said: "Yes, with the affirmation of experts in this field, the value of this painting will be revealed. Otherwise, even if it is put up for auction now, no one will recognize it."
"Well, let's identify it first." Lin Haitao responded.
Tian Tian interjected and asked: "Then who are you going to find for appraisal? We are not familiar with the place here, and we don't know any appraisers in this field."
He Qing said: "Go find it yourself. I'll call Mr. Wu first and ask him to help contact this area."??authoritative experts. "
After he finished speaking, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket and called Wu Qiang, who was helping them translate.
On the phone, He Qing said straightforwardly, asking Wu Qiang to help contact an appraisal expert in oil paintings. It would be better if he could find an appraiser who specializes in Van Gogh.
Not long after, Wu Qiang called back and told He Qing that he had contacted a relevant appraisal master and could take him for appraisal at any time.
"Haitao, Mr. Wu has already contacted the appraiser. In this case, let's go and have it appraised early. It's a good morning." After making the call, He Qing greeted Lin Haitao.
Lin Haitao asked: "Are you going there now?"
He Qing nodded and said: "Yes, go and have a look as soon as possible. Anyway, Tiantian is here to take care of you and talk to you."
Lin Haitao nodded and said, "It's okay. I can move freely now. It doesn't matter if Miss Tian goes out to play with you."
He Qing shook his head and said: "Looking at your condition is not very good, it would be better for someone to take care of you."
Later, he told Tian Tian and asked him to stay here with Lin Haitao, and Tian Tian naturally had no objection.
After agreeing, He Qing put away the painting, said goodbye and left the ward.
Not long after he walked out of the hospital, Wu Qiang drove over to pick him up.
After getting in the car, Wu Qiang drove straight to the appraisal location he mentioned.
About half an hour later, they stopped at an art academy.
As soon as he got off the car, Wu Qiang took He Qing to meet the oil painting appraisal master he called in a room.
That was a foreign man who spoke German. He Qing didn¡¯t understand German, so naturally he couldn¡¯t understand a word he said.
So after meeting the man, he took out the painting and asked him for an appraisal.
As soon as he saw the painting, the foreign man's eyes widened and he made an excited sound, which seemed to be a surprise.
¡°He said that this painting is likely to be the original work of Van Gogh and will cause a sensation in the art world.¡± Wu Qiang translated on the side. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
