Treasure Hunt all over the World

Chapter 306 A Sculpture Worth Hundreds of Thousands

After voting in the intercom, everyone finally chose pizza as today's lunch, simple and fast! The location is a pizzeria near Highway 127 in Danville.

After parking the car and entering the restaurant, the reporters immediately surrounded him.

"Steven, time on the road is limited and we can't do a full interview, now it's ok, can you tell us about these two sculptures? We want to know a little more"

"That's right! Steven, let me give you an explanation, let us also feel the charm of top-level artwork!"

Several reporters said, everyone was staring at the backpack in Ye Tian's hand, their eyes were extremely hot and full of anticipation!

"No problem! You can take photos and interview as much as you want, and I will explain the situation of these two sculptures in detail!"

Ye Tian smiled and nodded, agreeing to the reporters' request.

Then, he took the two sculptures out of the bag and placed them on the dining table.

"Ka Ka Ka Ka"

The camera shutter sounded immediately.

The reporters seized the opportunity and began to take photos of the two sculptures from various angles, very carefully and comprehensively.

After the camera shutter sounded, Ye Tian immediately began to cooperate with the reporter to ask questions, introducing the situation of the two sculptures and their origins.

"These two sculptures were created by Giacometti during his stay in Paris from 1922 to 1935. For specific evidence, please see this signature..."

As the explanation unfolded, the reporters were quickly brought into Giacometti's art world by him, and became fascinated by the two sculptures.

Be fascinated by legends in the history of sculpture art!

The police and FBI agents were attracted, and stood outside listening, with very serious expressions.

Other guests and waiters in the restaurant also came over to listen to this rare modern sculpture art lecture.

Ye Tian spoke very carefully. He not only explained the two sculptures, but also talked about the changes in Giacometti's artistic style during the creation of these two sculptures, as well as their manifestations in the works.

At the same time, he also extended it, talking about how Giacometti became a world-renowned sculpture master.

The reason for explaining in such detail is that Ye Tian has an idea.

These reporters are the best propagandists. Ye Tian intends to use them and the various media they rely on to promote and hype these two sculptures, raising their value!

If you don't take advantage of such a great free publicity opportunity, you'd be a fool!

Antique works of art with stories are more valuable, this is the consensus of the collectors!

What Ye Tian has to do now is to publicize the stories behind these two sculptures and let everyone know!

I believe these reporters are also willing to cooperate. I give them interesting news, and they provide free publicity opportunities. The best of both worlds, no one will object!

The restaurant became quiet, only Ye Tian's voice echoed, and the rest were listening quietly, enjoying the edification of sculpture art.

Five minutes later, Ye Tian talked about one of the issues everyone was most concerned about, the market price of these two sculptures.

"Mr. Giacometti is one of the greatest sculptors of the twentieth century, or without the suffix one, he is the greatest modern sculptor.

Each of his sculptures is worth a lot of money. The previous highest auction record was 04.3 billion US dollars in 2010, and his work was "Walking Man".

But this record has recently been refreshed, the latest record is 400 million US dollars, sold by Christie's in New York, the work is a life-size sculpture created in 1947, "Indicator""

Before the words finished, there was a loud exclamation, and everyone was completely shocked by the price!

"My God! 400 million dollars, just a sculpture!"

"Crazy! What's wrong with $400 million? It's just for a life-size sculpture! The world of rich people is incomprehensible!"

"These two sculptures must be sky-high prices! Steven, tell me the price of these two treasures!"

Everyone was staring at the two sculptures on the table, their eyes were red and their eyes were burning hot!

In an instant, envy, jealousy and hatred permeated every trace of the air!

Ye Tian paused for a moment, then continued with a smile:

"The value of these two sculptures certainly cannot exceed 100 million yuan. They are the works of Giacometti's growth period, and they are not the same as the works of the mature period after World War II.

But because these two sculptures are from Giacometti, they have extraordinary artistic charm, they are also valuable, and they are also top-level works of art.

According to my estimate, the market price of these two sculptures should be between 20 million and 50 million US dollars, and it may be a little more, but not much.

The price of this piece in the mid-1930s should be relatively high because of the artistic style, creation period, and documented reasons.

This piece from the late 1920s is lower, but no matter how low it is, it will not be lower than 20 million US dollars. If it is lower than this price, then I will collect it myself! "

Fry the pot directly on the spot! The exclamation suddenly became a sound, one after another!

Everyone guessed that the price of these two sculptures must be sky-high, but when Ye Tian said it himself, they were still almost stunned!

The two sculptures add up to tens of millions! Just put it in front of my eyes, close at hand, within reach! It was like a dream!

The people at the scene were all stimulated and went crazy, every pair of eyes was wide open, staring at the two sculptures in front of them without blinking their eyelids!

After a short pause, the camera shutter sounded crazily again.

Although photos from all angles have been taken, every reporter feels that it is not enough at this time, and more photos must be taken. It seems that this is the only way to alleviate the shock they feel!

The police, fbi agents, other guests in the restaurant, and the restaurant staff are all in a daze at this moment, and many people's eyes are so red that they are bleeding!

Standing behind Ye Tian, ​​Walker and Raymond, as well as the four Lexington armed security guards, all began to be on high alert, staring vigilantly at the crazy people in front of them.

Ye Tian also raised his vigilance, staring at the policemen and FBI with guns on the periphery, who can guarantee that the law enforcement officers will not go crazy in an instant and break the law knowingly?

As for the others, he wasn't too worried. First, they might not have guns, and no one would dare to take risks here. It would undoubtedly be the most stupid act of courting death!

Betty's pretty face was also flushed with excitement, if it wasn't for Ye Tian's little hand tightly clenched, she would have been cheering for joy!

After exclaiming, when everyone calmed down a little, Ye Tian said again:

"One more thing, I have entrusted these two sculptures to Sotheby's auction house, and they will come soon, conduct appraisal and take away these two sculptures.

The reason why the entrusted auction is held so quickly is for safety considerations, not only for the safety of me and a few friends, but also for the safety of everyone.

I hope everyone will help me spread this news, so that those bastards with ulterior motives will dispel the idea that they shouldn't have. These two sculptures belong to me, and no one can take them away! "

"Just don't worry! Steven, we will send out this news soon to let everyone know, after all, this is also a matter of our safety!"

The reporters responded enthusiastically and were very cooperative.

"Thank you for your understanding and support! To express my gratitude, I invited this lunch, but please remember not to drink and drive. There are many policemen here!"

"Hahaha, thank you, Steven!"

Amidst the laughter, everyone dispersed and returned to their seats, ready to enjoy a free lunch.

There were also people in a bad mood at the scene. A white man in his fifties said loudly:

"These are Kentucky treasures, you can't take them, keep them in Kentucky!"

Ye Tian looked up at this person, then smiled and replied:

"Sir, these two sculptures are indeed rare treasures, but it is a pity that Kentuckians did not treasure them as treasures, but discarded them as garbage!

So I'd better take them away, don't let these two art treasures be destroyed in Kentucky, I believe everyone doesn't want to see such a result! I will find the ideal home for them! "

The old white man was blocked and had nothing to say, he could only stare at Ye Tian angrily, his face full of resentment.

Ye Tian ignored this guy, put away the two sculptures on the table, and was about to have lunch.
