Gossip King

The party took place in the backyard of the gallery, and Gao Leng entered the core backyard of the exhibition for the first time. The place I brought in for tea before was just for hospitality, but after this, there is no cave.

The overall painting exhibition is two parts long. The front hall is a two-entrance courtyard, which is mainly used to display paintings, leaving a place to rest and discuss business.

The real backyard is another courtyard house with three entrances. Adding up the two courtyards, this place has nearly one billion in assets. With the addition of the paintings, Gao Leng was a little surprised, standing at the door facing his scarlett assets.

But if you think about it, you will definitely have the courage to be one of the best art exhibitions in the capital. Although she didn’t understand art at home, she was able to invite bob, a well-known contemporary painter in the world, and let merchants like Su Su come to join her. Presumably buying two courtyards would not be a big deal. , Maybe a painting inside is worth tens of millions.

Gao Leng didn't know if he had overestimated Scarlett's financial resources. In short, when the woman in dark green cheongsam stretched out his hand to meet him, he quickly reached out and shook it.

Those who sell paintings are always more educated than others.

"Welcome, welcome." Scarlett smiled and stretched out his hand to lead the direction of the backyard: "You're here to the end."

There is no waiter to lead the way. Scarlett's enthusiasm is only as good as it is. I don’t know if she has artistic arrogance in her own bones, or the gallery people are like this. There is no feeling of flattery. The scholars are very similar.

There are a lot of paintings hanging on the promenade. Today’s theme is the source of life totem. There are too many things that can be painted around the birth of life, such as painting one's own mother, painting a child waiting to be nurtured, and painting the beautiful dusk before animals are conceived.

Of course, there are also some very straightforward paintings, which are considered art and Gao Leng is not clear. Only this time the exhibition.

There are no paintings of women's bodies. Except for a few portraits of mothers, they are all abstract styles. Even Bob's paintings are extremely abstract. It seems that each painting is formed by a different color. A circle.

The abstract style of painting is indeed very high-end when hung on the wall, but Gao Leng does not know how to appreciate it. But when you think about it, hanging real paintings at home is much more elegant than ordinary people hanging some copied landscape paintings. Nowadays, most entrepreneurs will collect some paintings in their homes for embellishment, and some Confucian merchants are chasing these paintings and bidding for high-quality goods to reflect their own culture, which is reasonable.

It is unclear whether those who are just chasing paintings really have the ability to appreciate it, or if they are just chasing them. At least for Gao Leng, he doesn't understand and doesn't have this appreciation ability, but he is also ready to spend one or two billion to buy paintings.

It seems that paintings are indispensable in the eyes of merchants. How about buying a few in the house, so as not to be said to be the rich man.

Presumably the works that can be hung here must be good works, so in the cold eyes who don’t understand the paintings, I can’t tell good or bad, and I can’t tell which ones are bob’s original works, which ones are copies, and which ones are from other artists. A painting of the source of life type.

It is known to breed worship high cold.

But he really didn’t know if the painting in front of him was art. He tried to make himself a little calmer, showing the innocent smile of art, what kind of art or performance art, Gao Leng felt that this piece was very far away from him, even Mona. Lisa, this kind of famous painting that has been deposited over the years, the real art, Gao Leng feels that she can't understand it.

"Do you understand?" I don't know when Su Su stood behind him.

"I don't understand." Gao Leng answered honestly. Turning his head, he saw Su Su wearing a very casual black sweater, a pair of white pants and white high heels. His hair was cut short, only the hair on his shoulders was soft. Land on the shoulders.

Great temperament.

Su Su stretched out his finger and pointed at one of the paintings: "Bob's technique is very good. The painter has nothing to say. This painting looks like a young woman. Look, the red color is mixed with gold, does it look like a volcanic eruption? That strong color impact."

Su Suyi pointed, and took a cold look, it was really true. The bright red and golden areas resemble volcanic eruptions.

"But there are some gray areas surrounding the surrounding area, which looks a little depressing, as if the volcano wants to erupt, but it can't. I think this should be a young woman who cannot satisfy her desires but has a very hot heart." After Su Su finished speaking, he raised his glass and took a sip.

Gao Leng followed her words and looked over.

Really, the combination of red and gold was the hot rumors. Some gray was added to suppress the tone of the whole picture. In this way, it really looks like a dissatisfied young woman...

"It turned out to be like this." Gao Leng suddenly realized that this kind of abstract painting was a kind of human nature.

"Otherwise?" Su Su smiled faintly, and pointed his finger at another one: "This one is a young girl, innocent and inclusive, so it has infinite possibilities. There is a lot of blank space, which makes people relaxed and happy. "

Gao Leng looked at the pink, and then at the big red.

It's kind of interesting, it's kind of interesting.

It turns out that this kind of abstract painting is not about a specific thing, but a kind of human nature, or expressing a kind of emotion.

"You know how to paint." Gao Leng couldn't help but glanced at the woman next to him in admiration.

"I don't understand." Su Su smiled and shook his head: "When I was a child, I lived in Paris, France for four years. My mother likes to see art exhibitions. There are so many art exhibitions in Paris. If you want, you can see ten in a day. I'm going to throw up."

Su Su made an expression of vomiting impatiently.

"If you read too much, you will know that the foreigner's paintings are closer to human nature, direct and unrestrained, and the colors are bold." She took a few steps forward and pointed at a picture: "This is his 2005 painting. This one was sold at auction for a low price. It was sold for only 800 US dollars. The situation was not good at the time. In fact, this dress was painted very well. It was painted during his broken relationship. Look, dark blue The tone of the color is very melancholy, with a little brown, and the color is beautifully pressed." Su Su’s voice is very light, and the conversation is like talking about daily things. The temperament that comes out of his body when he says this, is What others can't learn is what those pretending to posture can't learn.

These high cold do not understand, if it weren't for Su Su to explain slowly, he would not understand.

After Su Su finished speaking, he looked at the painting again, and it was really interesting.

"But..." Su Su turned the topic, looked around, his voice was extremely low: "But this painter is actually a bit well-known, his paintings are touted in China, in fact, I think his paintings are two to three hundred. In case it is dead, it will sell for 20 to 30 million at every turn, and it is also sold at auction. In terms of artistic value, it is not worth that much money."

The price of the painting still exceeds Gao Leng's judgment. Although I knew that the painter must be famous before, otherwise these merchants would not come to join him, but it is not the kind that is world-famous. After all, it is a modern painter. The painting has not passed time. The precipitation of a painting can reach 20-30 million in private transactions without going through auction, which is indeed very high.

How much a painting costs to sell varies greatly between auction houses and auction houses.

The auction house has to pay a portion of the handling fee. If the on-site auction is done well, the two sellers will stand up. If the price is raised well, the chance of selling at a high price is very high.

For a famous painter like Bob, it is impossible to pass the auction.

Therefore, if it is a painting of 20-30 million yuan from the auction house, there is water in the head, and the tax, service fee, this fee and that fee are removed for seven or eight hundred and eighty-eight. With good luck, you will get upset when you encounter a big boss. , This price is not unusual.

But if you don't go through the auction house, you can sell it for dinner in the gallery, and you can reach this number, which is really high.

There are also specialties in selling paintings in galleries. Generally, galleries will sign contracts with painters. If the painter is not very well-known, then your paintings will be sold in my gallery, divided into four or six, painter four, gallery six, this is for some reputation , You don’t need to focus on the gallery; if you have no reputation at all, the chance of your paintings entering a good gallery is basically zero, unless you yourself were born in a family that is not rich but noble, and people give your parents face.

After the gallery signs a contract with the artist, it must be packaged. The size of the gallery is different, and the degree of packaging is different. For galleries like scarlett, packaging a painter will use the media, and even several large-scale publicity. These all require costs. This is why the division is divided into four and six, galleries are divided into six, and artists are divided into four.

Forty-six divisions can be considered very real. Many painters have nine divisions, one for painters and nine for galleries.

There are some very good paintings, but the painter is not well-known, and the gallery will not focus on it. After all, it is not practical to rely on a gallery to promote a painter. But if the painting is not bad, the gallery here estimates that it can sell for a good price, it will offer this harsh condition.

It sounds sad. After all, the painting is good, but the painter is not well-known. The one-to-nine ratio is too cruel, which is almost equal to making money from the painter's paintings.

But this is the situation. I line up in Scarlett and hope to get a one-to-nine split, even without spending the money, or I will give you the money, and the money for selling the painting will be yours, and I will give you an extra money, so Of painters piled up into mountains.

It is the most fortunate painter who came to the empire in a low-key manner like Bob, and also allowed a few big merchants to come to join him.

Of course, a painter like Bob, who came to Scarlett's exhibition has already given you enough face. Naturally, it is impossible to pay you back. The money for his paintings sold today belongs to the artist.

"The exhibits here are all reproductions, but today Bob will bring two paintings. These old men all want to see the paintings. If they like them, they will buy them. There will be a private small auction at that time." Su said.

This kind of auction is no longer a regular auction. It belongs to regular customers to take pictures and play, and if the bid is right, the money will be taken away. However, even if they are regular customers, if two people happen to see the same painting and they refuse to give in, there will be a fight.

"Can you take a picture?" Gao Leng asked.

"If I like it, I will shoot. I came today because Jason is here, and I miss him a lot."

Who is Jason? Gao Leng is relatively new to this person's name.

"Su Su!" A man's strong voice came from inside.

"Jason!" Su Su smiled at once, walked quickly, and finally turned into a quick run. He stretched out his hand and said, "I miss you so much!"
