Rebirth: How a Loser Became a Prince Charming - Chapter 407

[Four hundred and five art dealers]

“Can I hold it in my hand and take a closer look?”

“Of course I can…”

After the grim-looking Rakshasa mask was taken into the middle-aged man’s hands, it fell unnaturally.

This mask, which is forty or fifty centimeters in size, is made of solid wood, and the weight is not light.

The rich and splendid oil paint contrasts the abstract paintings with more tension, and the polished wood makes the surface of the mask, which I thought would be rough, as delicate as talc, but to the touch, it has a unique jade-like quality. moisturizing.

“I bought it… I didn’t bring that much cash, can I swipe my card here?”

‘Pfft…’

Lan Jin’s mouth of old blood almost blew into the sky.

What?

Bought this?

Big brother, take a look again, it’s $500!

So it is terrible to say that there is no culture. As early as the emergence of the Yellow River culture, the Nuo opera area, one of the representatives of Han culture and intangible cultural heritage, only costs 500 US dollars. What’s wrong?

But Lan Jin is a child of a businessman’s family. When Teacher Calm brought it, it only cost more than 30 dollars to make a mask. If the quantity is large, the price can be negotiated.

Qin Guan, who was on the side, did not rush to swipe the card for the middle-aged man in front of the cashier, but introduced him slowly: “Actually, we will only open tomorrow. I think you are very knowledgeable about artworks.

” I don’t know if you are an art dealer, a member of an art foundation, or the owner of a private gallery?”

The middle-aged man opposite was taken aback, because Qin Guan’s words began to raise his eyes to look at this Asian boy appearance.

The eyes are sparse, and the gentleman is like jade.

He suddenly took off the cashmere tweed gentleman’s hat on his head and made a silent question of where it was placed.

Cong Nianwei took it with clean hands, and hung it in the cloakroom behind the cashier, along with the coat that the other party took off.

“Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Renais. I’m the owner of a C-level gallery chain. Because I’m in Los Angeles, I’m also a private art donor.”

“Of course, if the price is right, I don’t mind being an art dealer either.”

No,

With your worth, you have to be a broker to be attractive.

As far as the value of the artwork is concerned, it cannot be only $500.

Qin Guan did not raise an eyelid because of the identity of the other party. Now he is the first party, and Qin Guan has already figured out the context of the other party.

Unlike the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, it only displays the most traditional paintings and works of world-renowned painters, only publishes and prints such works of art, and never holds exhibitions of modernist works.

The Asian Art Museum in Los Angeles, California, is a well-known miscellaneous history museum. It displays paintings by famous Chinese masters in the past dynasties, and even more exaggerated is that it includes sculptures, stone carvings, furniture, and costumes.

It is no exaggeration to say that he is obsessed with Chinese history and art.

No, Renay, who is also a California art dealer, is also quite influenced by the local art market.

This trip to New York is really right. The Chelsea market really has its rich historical heritage, which gave him such a big surprise.

“Then you can go to the rattan chair over there and rest for a while, because you may have never seen the artwork you want to take out later.”

Lei Nai nodded, as Qin Guan said, the beauty of this world In the shop, he really hadn’t seen the first piece of art.

Cong Nianwei’s subordinates are not idle, and Lan Jin is not lying on the chair at this time. As if he has seen a huge business opportunity, he is struggling to plan the cotton in the box to prevent squeezing.

Money is money!

“This is the Tantou New Year’s picture, an artistic style that began to flourish in the late Ming Dynasty in China. With its colorful colors and simple and easy-to-understand narrative painting style, it is mostly accepted by the common people.

” One of the traditions there, like the custom-made oil paintings sold by the B-level galleries here, is the favorite of Chinese women.”

“Oh yes,” Cong Nianwei took a square wooden board, which was carefully wrapped in thick layers. The thick plastic film was opened, and the end was placed in front of Renay’s eyes.

“This is another way of showing Chinese painting style. New Year’s paintings on wooden boards use wooden boards as the carrier of printed paintings in the form of carving, and are more three-dimensional works of art.”

“It has a history of thousands of years. This is amazing, if you buy an engraving, you are buying an original print, and Cong Nianwei will demonstrate it to Mr. Lei Nai.”

“Okay!”

Cong Nianwei dipped the ink on the big man and carefully looked at the upper layer of the wooden New Year’s picture.

Thinly soaked with oil paint, a thick version of rice paper with good water absorption is the same size as a wooden board.

The paper lightly covered it, but within half an hour, Cong Nianwei gently peeled off the rice paper on the wooden board.

A beautiful New Year’s picture of the three-star Annunciation of Fortune, Lushou, and Three-Star Annunciation was displayed in front of Renai’s eyes.

Renai, who has always been elegant and gentle, with a calm temperament, had a surprised expression on his face for the first time.

Foreign oil painting, the way of painting is laborious and laborious, and a painting has been painted for several years.

And the wood-paneled New Year picture in front of you, my dear, this is a meticulous custom-made painting, and it is full of exotic style. This is the favorite of the guests of the B-category galleries.

Now Renais can’t care about the temperament of his self-proclaimed artist, and he has turned into a businessman. He directly points to these categories of artworks to open his own conditions.

“How many paintings like this do you have in your store? I think we can sit down and have a detailed discussion.”

Qin Guan understated the number behind the cashier: “Not many, there is only one plate for the New Year’s painting on wood, and it’s in your hands. , 20 finished products, UU reading www.sonicmtl.com There are not more than 10 Tantou New Year paintings, plus the mask you fancy, you can take all of them for $5,500.”

“Pfft…” Lan Jin behind A mouthful of old blood.

Lan Jin, who was still picking up the trash, almost fell into the box after hearing the offer.

You lied to Qin Guan, this was carved from a broken wooden plank!

It was not until Lei Nai and Qin Guan negotiated the agency prices for these three works of art, that the other party reluctantly left the small gallery.

This Chinese is not simple. He actually wanted to bring a large number of Chinese artworks and directly enter the art market in the United States. It seems that he has some ambitions to make this small shop a C-class art palace.

(Galleries are divided into three types: A sells original paintings, B sells prints, and doubles as picture frames, and C sells paintings, furniture, jewelry, antiques, etc. Class A galleries have a relatively high status and are very professional, and most of them belong to Chinese businessmen across the country. Member of the association, this kind of gallery is more professional and has great influence in the local area. Category B is one grade lower. It obtains the market with famous prints and popular varieties and prices that are suitable for sale. C mainly focuses on fine art, but The content of the concurrent work is wider.) (To be continued.)
