The afternoon special auction of Latin American art went very smoothly and soon came to the last moment.
“29 million US dollars, 29 million US dollars, is anyone willing to bid? This is a painting from Guayasamin’s peak period, the most outstanding work of magical realism, and the brightest pearl of Latin American art. Don’t miss it!”
The auctioneer's voice echoed throughout the audience, trying his best to confuse the large number of Hispanic buyers in the auction hall, including many bidders bidding by phone and computer.
But this price has exceeded the psychological price of many people. No one raised their placards again to answer the price. Everyone's reply to the auctioneer was only a slight shake of the head, with disappointment and regret on their faces!
Seeing this situation, the auctioneer on the stage no longer hesitated and immediately started counting down.
"First time, second time, Sold for US$29 million! Transaction! US$28 million, the winning bidder is bidder No. 26, Mr. Gutierrez from Mexico, congratulations!"
With the auctioneer's passionate voice and gestures to the audience, the auction hammer in his hand fell heavily.
"Bang!"
The final word is that the auction is over.
"Pa bang bang"
A burst of warm applause sounded.
What followed was Spanish that filled my ears, either with excitement, disappointment, or emotion! There are so many emotions that come out of people’s voices!
Ye Tian stood up from his seat and smiled brightly.
Then he whispered to Betty beside him:
"Dear, let's go home, today's auction is over, the results are perfect! What a pleasant day!"
"Wow! US$28 million! It is US$18 million more than the reserve price! This price is simply incredible!"
Betty murmured to herself, she was still in shock, her eyes widened, looking straight at the auction table and the oil painting placed next to the auction table!
"Hahaha, that's Guayasamin, the treasure of Latin America! Among Latin American art collectors, who doesn't like his works? Who doesn't want to get his works? The price is quite reasonable, in line with my expectations Among! ”
Ye Tian proudly pointed to the paintings on the stage and then left the auction hall with Betty.
When he left the Rockefeller Building in his fiery red Rafa and returned to his apartment on 110th Street, the entire New York art market was completely in shock!
The transaction price of this Guayasamin oil painting was immediately announced by Sotheby's auction house. Many media reporters who interviewed at the auction site also quickly released relevant news.
$28 million! For Latin American art, this price is very rare. Although it does not set a new transaction record, it is not far off!
As soon as the news was revealed, the Mexican telecommunications tycoon Gutierrez who took the picture and the Guayasamin oil painting naturally attracted much attention and triggered countless heated discussions!
Ye Tian, who sent this oil painting to be photographed, attracted countless attention.
Everyone is sighing at his almost overwhelming good luck. He actually has top-notch Latin American art works in his hands, which can make people envious to death!
At this auction, two other works of art by Ye Tian were also sold successfully, and the transaction prices were quite good and satisfactory!
One is an oil painting by a famous Mexican painter, which was sold for US$970,000; the other is an ancient Indian sculpture from Peru, which was sold by an American collector for US$1.8 million.
This sculpture has several mysterious hieroglyphs on it, which is of great archaeological value and artistic value, which is why it fetched such a high price!
After the first day of the New York Autumn Auctions, the media quickly made statistics and found that on the first day alone, that **** Steven made a crazy total of more than 52 million U.S. dollars at the New York Autumn Auctions. !
As soon as this news was revealed, it immediately caused a sensation again. Almost everyone was shocked by this news!
And everyone knows very well that this is just the beginning, the most important antique artwork in the hands of Steven's **** has not yet appeared!
God knows what the sky-high prices for those heavyweight antique artworks will be. Don’t even think about it, it will definitely be jaw-dropping and eye-catching!
That **** Steven will be crazy about harvesting dollars again and again, sweeping through the entire New York autumn auction market like a hurricane, and sweeping away the wallets of many famous collectors and billionaires! No one can stop it!
This year’s New York Autumn Auction may even turn into a personal show for Steven’s bastard, a gold mine for him to crazily grab wealth.
This is what all media reporters and collectors are thinking! As much as they hate to admit it, it seems to be becoming a reality!
The first day of the New York autumn auction ended, and Ye Tian naturally became the most dazzling star, the focus of all the media, and the focus of everyone in the autumn auction market.
But what everyone doesn’t know is that more than 52 million US dollars is not all Ye Tian has gained!
On the same day, several antique works of art belonging to Ye Tian were sold at several auctions at Christie's, earning him a large sum of US dollars.
These antique works of art were all sent to Christie's auction by Ye Tianjing Bowie, and the transaction prices were quite good!
At Sotheby's special auction of Chinese paintings and calligraphy, Mr. Ma and the others also gained something.
Mr. Ma took a picture of Dong Qichang's "Residence on the Bank of the Stream", which is a very good ink landscape painting; Mr. Liu took a picture of Zhang Daqian's painting of a lady, which made him quite satisfied!
What Mr. Li gained was a piece of Liu Yong’s calligraphy. The calligraphy works of the four Qing masters are certainly not bad! Mr. Wang bought an ink landscape painting by Shen Zongjing, a very famous traditional Chinese painting master in the Qing Dynasty!
Each of them was very satisfied with their harvest and returned home with a full load!
That night, Ye Tian invited these four old Chinese men to gather at the Chinese restaurant of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel and enjoy an authentic Chinese meal.
During the banquet, these four old men, who had been tortured by Western food for several days, opened their back molars and shook their cheeks one by one. They ate heartily and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. They all ate till the trenches were full!
After dinner, Ye Tian took them to watch a musical on Broadway. If you don’t understand it, let’s talk about it!
It wasn’t until eleven o’clock in the evening that everyone dispersed! Ye Tian took Betty home, while Ma Ye and the others returned to the hotel to recharge their batteries and prepare for another auction tomorrow.
The second auction day of the New York autumn auction is coming soon.
Ye Tian had five pieces of antique art up for auction that day, but he only went to one of the auctions.
Special auction of European sculptures and crafts.
At this auction, two works by Giacometti, the master of ultra-existentialist sculpture, will be on display, and one of the sculptures is the finale of this special auction!
The auction process went very smoothly! Like the previous royal furniture, these two sculptures have also been wildly sought after by many European and American collectors and investors! The competition is extremely fierce!
In the end, the two sculptures were acquired by an American billionaire and a Swiss collector respectively, with prices of US$52 million and US$45 million respectively.
Although the auction prices of the two sculptures are very high, they are far from the auction record of Giacometti's works, and they are not even among the top ten!
Of course, this price is already very good. It is a rare high price for European sculptures in the past two years. Ye Tian was 10,000 satisfied and went crazy with joy!
After all, these are Giacometti's early works and cannot be compared with the sculptures in his peak period after World War II, nor can we expect them to break the auction record for Giacometti's sculptures.
Two sculptures worth US$97 million, plus three antique works of art sold at two other auctions, Ye Tiantian’s apparent auction revenue easily exceeded US$100 million!
Unsurprisingly, this huge amount of income once again shocked the media and the entire art collection market, making everyone stunned and almost going crazy!
As soon as the special auction of European sculptures and handicrafts ended, the New York Times published a sensational headline on its online version.
"Steven's Autumn Photoshoot in New York alone"
The rest of the media followed suit and started to build momentum. With their intensive reporting, more and more eyes were focused on Ye Tian!
There is envy in these eyes! There is jealousy! And naked hatred!
Of course, there are also countless greedy eyes! Not only from the relevant tax authorities, but also from many **** with ulterior motives!
Ye Tian didn't pay attention to these at all, he was just enjoying the joy of harvest.
On this day, Sotheby’s did not have a special auction of Chinese antiques. Teacher Ma and the others turned to Christie’s and continued to acquire Chinese antiques.
Everyone gained something and ended the day's auction with satisfaction!
One of the pieces of porcelain that Mr. Li received originally belonged to Ye Tian!
It is a porcelain plate painting by Zhushan Bayou Wang Yeting. It appeared at Christie's auction through Bowie's hand. Mr. Li also contributed a large amount of US dollars to Ye Tian.
After the auction, Ye Tian immediately contacted Ma Ye and others on the phone to inquire about the situation, but did not meet again.
In the blink of an eye, it’s the third auction day of the New York autumn auction. Mr. Ma and the others left New York early in the morning and rushed to Boston!
There is a special Asian art auction there today, and several quite good Chinese antiques will be on display. Naturally, Mr. Ma and the others will not miss it.
Ye Tianze came to Sotheby's Building again to participate in a heavyweight special auction held here.
