Chapter 438 Sweeping New York Autumn Auctions

The weather in New York is getting colder, and the scenery on the streets is getting more and more bleak! Fallen leaves are everywhere, and the westerly wind is blowing!

Autumn is leaving quietly, and the footsteps of winter are already clearly audible!

But in the major auction houses in New York, it was very hot, like midsummer!

Heavyweight antique works of art are constantly emerging at various auctions, and the bidding is very hot, and top antique works of art sold at sky-high prices can be found everywhere!

In this autumn, Ye Tian has become the biggest star in the New York autumn auction!

At this time, he is the focus of attention no matter where he goes!

Many media reporters are frantically chasing news about him and his heavyweight antique artworks,

And many collectors and art investors who participated in the New York autumn auction are also paying attention to him all the time, hoping that he will have contact with that sky-high priced antique art again!

In the few days after Paul Cézanne's two top oil paintings were sold at sky-high prices, shocking the entire art collection market, several top antique artworks belonging to Ye Tian were sold one after another.

Without exception, the hammer prices of these top antique artworks are sky-high prices, shocking the New York market and the entire field of antique artwork collections time and time again, leaving everyone dumbfounded!

On the morning of the fourth day of the New York Autumn Auction, at the special auction of "European Porcelain and Craftsmanship" held in the Rockefeller Building, the first Portland vase copied by the British official kiln Wedgwood in 1790 was successfully sold.

This is the first Portland vase ever successfully reproduced. It took three years and countless manpower and material resources. The artistic value and market value are both extraordinary!

When this vase appeared at the auction, it was immediately pursued and favored by European and American antique art collectors, and the competition was extremely fierce!

Ye Tian set a reserve price of 30 million US dollars for this European antique vase, and the final transaction price was 56 million US dollars, which is not a small satellite!

This vase was photographed by a famous collector from the UK. This antique vase originally from the UK can be regarded as returning to its hometown!

That night, Sotheby's Building held a "Pop Art" evening auction. In this auction, Andy Warhol's "Marilyn Monroe" in Ye Tian's hands also went under the hammer smoothly. make a deal!

The reserve price of this famous painting was 22 million US dollars, and the final transaction price was 67 million US dollars, which was the highest auction price of the artwork that night, and once again shocked the New York autumn auction market!

After the hammer fell, this "Marilyn Monroe", which was obtained from a restaurant in Pittsburgh, broke into the top 10 of Andy Warhol's art transaction records in one fell swoop, ranking 7th!

For this price, Ye Tian was not particularly satisfied.

You know, in 2007, another painting of Andy Warhol, "Marilyn Monroe", once sold for a sky-high price of 80 million US dollars!

Who knew that in the past so many years, the prices of Andy Warhol's works with the same subject matter actually dropped instead of rising, which is really depressing!

This is also the case with the works of Andy Warhol, who is the biggest art dealer in the world! There are too many works, it is a bit suspected of fooling people!

Although Ye Tian was not very satisfied with the hammer price, the rest of the people who participated in this auction with him were all very satisfied!

The moment the hammer fell, they immediately started cheering and celebrating, almost crazy with excitement! He didn't care that he was still in the auction hall!

These guys are Jason and Sophie, Walker and Raymond, including Betty!

When the restaurant in Pittsburgh accepted this painting of "Marilyn Monroe", Ye Tian promised that each of them would get 2% of the painting's auction proceeds as a reward for their cooperation at the time!

The transaction price of "Marilyn Monroe" was 67 million U.S. dollars. After deducting the commission, it was nearly 60 million U.S. dollars! 2% reward per person,

That is more than 1 million US dollars!

In the blink of an eye, I became a millionaire. Can these guys not be ecstatic?

Seeing how excited they were, Ye Tian didn't care too much about the low transaction price of "Marilyn Monroe". After the auction, he immediately took these guys to the carnival!

Two days later, on the seventh day of the New York Autumn Auctions, the special auction of "American Contemporary Art" kicked off at the Rockefeller Building!

In this auction, Ye Tian sold two more heavyweight artworks at sky-high prices one after another, bringing him a large sum of green dollars!

The first one is the work of the famous American illustrator Norman Knockville, the hand-painted movie promotion poster of "A Streetcar Named Desire"!

Ye Tian set a reserve price of 15 million US dollars for this painting, with a starting price of 8 million US dollars.

In the end, the hammer price of this painting was 41 million US dollars, which is a very ideal price!

After all, this is just a hand-painted movie poster, not comparable to top oil paintings, and there are relatively few collectors, not as popular as top oil paintings! The price is not that exaggerated!

The one who took this hand-painted movie poster was MOMA in New York!

The patron of the Museum of Modern Art in New York is the Rockefeller family, never short of money! It is one of the main buyers of modern and contemporary art in the New York auction market! This time it can be regarded as a contribution to Ye Tian!

Created in 1950 by Jackson Pollock, the outstanding representative work of abstract expressionism, "Autumn Colors, 20", also sold in this special auction, and it was the finale!

After "Colors of Autumn, 20" came out in Birmingham, it immediately shocked the entire field of art collection, making everyone dumbfounded and exclaimed!

The appearance of this painting broke people's consistent perception of the number of Pollock's works. This is a brand new painting, and no one has seen it before!

Moreover, it was Pollock's peak work in 1950. In addition to having extraordinary artistic value and market value, it also has great research value!

From the day this top-of-the-line artwork came out, it has garnered a lot of attention!

Most of them are famous collectors who are interested in contemporary art and Pollock's works, as well as art investors, including major museums, such as MOMA!

These guys are always keeping an eye on the movement of this top artwork, waiting for the day when this painting will appear in the New York autumn auction and go to public auction!

As long as this painting is unveiled, these people will definitely try their best to compete for this top artwork, even going bankrupt!

The reason why people are so crazy is that apart from artistic factors, there is another important reason. The price of Pollock's works has been soaring rapidly in recent years, almost one price a year!

More importantly, the number of Pollock's works is very small. In the peak period of 1950, he only created three paintings, which have a very high investment value!

Unlike Andy Warhol, who may copy thousands of copies a year, and most of them repeat themes, so who can he ask for reasoning?

For this Pollock painting, Ye Tian is full of confidence, and is very sure that this top-notch painting will definitely bring him a huge surprise! Bring big bucks!

Therefore, he set an unusually high reserve price for the painting, a whopping $75 million! On the same level as "The Boy in the Red Vest"!

Sotheby's also attached great importance to this painting. Not only did it do all the promotional work, but it also put this painting at the end of the "American Contemporary Art" auction, and it was the grand finale!

The scene after the auction started completely met the expectations of Ye Tian and Sotheby's, and the competition was extremely fierce!

The starting price of this painting was 35 million US dollars. From the moment the auctioneer shouted out the first bid, the entire auction hall was completely ignited and became extremely hot!

Famous collectors and art investors from all over the world, as well as famous museums, competed fiercely at the auction site!

When the competition was in full swing, everyone who participated in the bidding was almost crazy!

In the mouths of these guys, the dollar is like waste paper! Feel free to splash!

After more than 30 rounds of fierce bidding, the final transaction price of this Pollock painting fell at a high of 195 million US dollars!

Just shy of $5 million! This painting can break the highest transaction record for Pollock's works!

If the 12% buyer's commission is included, this painting will immediately exceed 200 million US dollars, leaving Pollock's transaction records far behind!

The buyer who took this Pollock painting is a famous American billionaire and a famous art collector!

After this special auction fell under the hammer, there was another new top-level artwork on the top 10 list of world art auction records, and it ranked No. 4!

What's more, it's another piece of art coming out of that bastard Steven's hand!

In the latest top 10 list of world art auction records, there are three paintings that flowed from the hands of that bastard Steven! The transaction prices are all very high, ranking second, third, and fourth on the list respectively!

In addition to these top-notch works of art sold for more than 100 million dollars, that bastard Steven also has many antique works of art worth more than 10 million dollars!

Million Dollar Antiques and more! The autumn auction has never been interrupted in the past few days, and the news comes from various auction venues!

After learning this, almost everyone was stunned!

At this moment, everyone was very convinced that that bastard Steven was definitely the biggest winner of this year's New York autumn auction!

The report in the "New York Times" is absolutely correct, this is Steven's New York autumn auction season alone!

The media was completely detonated!

Ye Tian has logically become the hottest news figure in New York nowadays. He has been frantically pursued by countless media reporters, and has also made people in the field of art collections envious!

During this period, Ma Ye and the others returned to New York, participated in the special auction of Chinese antique porcelain, and contributed a lot of money to Ye Tian.

Then, several people went to Philadelphia to participate in a special auction of Chinese antique art held there!

Then, on the evening of the sixth day of the New York autumn auction, they left the United States together and flew back to Beijing!

Before leaving, Ye Tian had another gathering with some old men!

In addition to eating and chatting about their respective gains, everyone also discussed cooperation matters, and basically determined the charter of cooperation and the way of transaction!

In the future treasure hunting operations, if Ye Tian finds good Chinese antiques, he will sell them to these people first, and will not go through the auction house, so as not to be split by these guys to separate the buyers and sellers!

This way of trading can also avoid being picked up by the US government. Those bastards from the US Internal Revenue Service are definitely the most vicious robbers in the world!

To be on the safe side, avoid being discovered by the robbers from the IRS, and avoid being betrayed! Ye Tian designed a complete set of trading procedures, and only then did he reach a cooperation agreement with several old men!

A few days have passed in a blink of an eye, and the autumn auction in New York is coming to an end. ) Download Free Reader!!
