My identity as a collector was exposed by the village flower

Chapter 390 Wang Meng's Landscape Painting
Everyone still has to give Jackie Chan a little face.

Zuo Zuo doesn't have any goals now, and wandering around is just wandering, so Fang Xing nodded in agreement.

Everyone came to a hotel, and the auction was held in the hotel.Almost all of the people present were Hollywood celebrities, including directors, actors, singers, etc., all came to join in the show.

It can be seen that the star who died was very popular.

The first auction is a limited edition Rolex watch.There's nothing wrong with it. It's standard for a successful man. Who doesn't have a few famous watches?

As we all know, Rolex has excellent quality, exquisite workmanship, and combines nobility, elegance and unique temperament.The output of Rolex is as high as 80 pieces this year, and it is highly respected by people from all walks of life all over the world, and it is even more favored by collectors.

In the watch collection, Rolex has always been one of the benchmarks.

Many Rolex collectors are almost obsessed with their collection of watches, as can be seen from the several classic Rolex watches sold at famous watch auctions around the world in recent years.

"Don't look at me, I'm not interested." Fang Xing smiled.

His treasures are countless, these so-called famous watches are not worth mentioning in Fang Xing's eyes.

Jackie Chan and the others were also aware of this, and laughed without saying a word.

"I have this one too, but I'm not interested either." Jackie Chan said.

The original starting price, this model was priced at 25 US dollars, more than 100 million RMB.Quite expensive for many people.

"Rolex's design is a bit simple, not my style." Xia Yu also said.

Anyone who knows famous watches knows that Rolex watches are very fond of using precious metals, 18K gold.White gold, rose gold, etc. In addition, the style of the watch is simple without too complicated design, so the price is equal to the material cost.

Because of the complicated design of high-priced watches of the same material, the cost of design, development and labor will be added, while the relative Rolex is a vulgar watch because it is relatively simple, and it is also one of the reasons why many people love it.

However, Xia Yu is not in the list, he likes more complicated designs.

While they were chatting, the bidding had already begun, from $20 to $[-].

To be honest, this kind of charity auction usually doesn't fetch a sky-high price, and everyone just orders as much as they can, since the money is used for charity anyway.

In the end, that limited-edition Rolex sold for $23, a little less than its original price.

This is a charity auction.

Afterwards, it was basically the star’s personal items, such as the first CD, the first personal poster, signed hats, a used set of wine glasses and so on.

Many of them have no reserve price, and they bid at random, such as that hat, which was auctioned off for $5.

This kind of down-to-earth auction has aroused the love of the water friends in Xu Qing's live broadcast room.If they were present, they probably also participated in the auction.

Finally waited until the artwork debuted.

The star also collected artworks before his death, and there are quite a lot of things.

A set of Russian nesting dolls sold for a high price of more than 30 US dollars, which Fang Xing did not expect.

It is a special wooden toy made in Russia. It is generally composed of multiple hollow wooden dolls with the same pattern, up to more than ten, usually cylindrical, with a flat bottom and can stand upright.The colors are red, blue, green, purple and so on.

The earliest idea of ​​this kind of thing was a wooden doll made to please children. Children like fairy tales, so the famous characters and animals in the stories were made into dolls.Over time, nesting dolls have formed a unique style, and dolls of different sizes are nested one by one, which makes people feel more interesting.

Its production process is very elegant, and the preparation of the wood alone takes a lot of time.

It is said that lime trees and birches are ideal woods for making matryoshka dolls. Generally, when the trees are rich in sap in early spring, the trees are cut down and the bark is peeled off, leaving only a few rings of bark to prevent the wood from cracking. Then expose to air for ventilation.

If you want to make a medium-sized doll, you need to dry it for two years, and if you want to make a 15-piece doll, then the inner wall of each doll must be very thin, and the requirements for wood are higher. Dry for 5 to 6 years.

Finally, it is made through processes such as lasting, stamping, and gold inlay.Each doll has to go through 15 processes, and the size is not measured with tools, but determined by the artists based on their feelings and experiences.

Even so, Fang Xing still felt that the price was too high.

Art does not mean that the more time you spend on it, the higher the value.

Like some artists, if they draw a few lines of circles at random, they can fetch a sky-high price of tens of millions of dollars at auction. Who can ask for reason?

"Foreigners still collect our ancient Chinese paintings? It's rare!" Xia Yu was very surprised to see that the next auction item turned out to be an ink painting.

Ink painting refers to paintings made purely with ink.There are three basic elements: simplicity, symbolism, and naturalness.

Black and white ink paintings were all expressed in the form of landscape paintings in the early days. Although there were only black and white, they were actually slightly yellowish due to the paper color.In modern times, colored ink paintings have been applied to splash-ink landscapes and ink-and-wash animations.

Now on the auction is a landscape painting by Wang Meng.

Wang Meng was a famous painter in the Yuan Dynasty. He was especially good at painting landscapes.The scenery is densely described, with multiple mountains and rivers in the layout, making good use of the chapped lines and thirsty ink moss points to express the lush and vast atmosphere of the forest.

His works had a great influence on the landscape paintings of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, second only to Huang Gongwang. Later generations called him, Huang Gongwang, Wu Zhen, and Ni Zan the "Four Masters of the Yuan Dynasty".

"Is it genuine?" Xia Yu asked again.

It can be heard that he has a strong interest in this painting.

"Eight * nine is not far from ten! There are obvious water halo ink stamps." Fang Xing said.

The "water halo ink stamp" created by Wang Meng has enriched the expressive techniques of national painting.His unique style is manifested in "majestic vitality", skillful use of pens, and "unpredictable vertical and horizontal strokes".

Its characteristics are: first, it is easy to use a brush that is curled up like an earthworm, and it is famous for its change and "complexity" with the brush; If you add more points, you will be gloomy and beautiful."

Hearing what Fang Xing said, Xia Yu was ready to make a move.

Foreigners really have no desire to collect Chinese paintings, so Xia Yu easily won it for more than 3 US dollars.

"It's a big leak." Fang Xing said to Xia Yu.

"How much is it worth?" Jackie Chan couldn't help asking.

Although he also collected a lot of antiques, it is rumored that he directly bought the courtyard house to house his collection, but he is actually not good at identifying antiques, valuing them, etc.

"Wang Meng's landscape paintings should be placed in China, at least two or three million yuan!"
