Inherit For Three Thousand Years

Miron is an outstanding master sculptor in world history. He is a well-known sculptor in Greece in the middle of the fifth century BC. In the literature of ancient Greek and Roman writers, Miron and his works have been mentioned more than once.

He is good at using bronze as a material, not only able to express the human body in motion freely and accurately, but also a master of expressing animals.

It is said that the bronze bull statue he made for Athens once attracted ravenous wild wolves; the horses he carved caused the neighing of real horses. It shows the exquisite carving craftsmanship and the vivid depiction of the image.

It is a pity that in reality, apart from the Panwu collection, none of Miron's original works have been preserved. What we can see today is the marble models of some Roman craftsmen.

Now that Xiao Yao has taken out an original Miron work for auction, the sensation of it can be imagined.

The third work he is going to send for auction is the oil painting "Savior" by Leonardo da Vinci.

The reason why I took this painting out for auction was that it had been arranged by Panwu for nearly 10 years, and it was finally certified as authentic and was widely recognized by artists and connoisseurs.

"The Savior" is a painting created by the famous Italian painter Leonardo da Vinci during the Renaissance. This painting was completed in about 1500, and it coincides with the creation period of "Mona Lisa".

"The Savior" was originally in the collection of King Charles I of England, and was transferred to Charles II following the succession of Charles II. It was then transferred from Charles II to the Duke of Buckingham, whose son sold it in 1763.

After that, the painting was nowhere to be found, and it was not until 1900 that traces of this oil painting appeared again.

In the past 500 years, this painting has been tossed away and repainted many times. The original painting was once covered with thick oil paint. In 1958, "The Savior" was sold for 45 pounds in an auction in the UK.

It wasn't until 1996 that the painting fell into Panwu's hands. After nearly 10 years of cleaning and appraisal, this painting was confirmed to be authentic and has been widely recognized.

The painting was finally confirmed as authentic, and the process was very long and difficult. This is thanks to the ever-changing modern technology. Without the aid and comparison of modern technology, this painting might still be regarded as a fake and not taken seriously.

The most difficult appraisal work has been completed in Panwu's hands. Now that Xiao Yao sends this painting for auction, there is no obstacle, and the price of this painting will not be affected by the question of authenticity.

The fourth cultural relic he is going to send for auction is also a Western oil painting, this oil painting is Van Gogh's "Sunflower".

In Panwu's collection, there are four paintings of Van Gogh's Sunflowers. Among them, there are three sunflowers in the vase, one is three sunflowers, and the other two are 12 sunflowers.

He is going to send a picture of "Twelve Sunflowers in a Vase".

This work is a gift received a few years before Panwu. Many people know that this painting is in his hands. Therefore, this painting is also a recognized authenticity.

It often takes a long time to identify a precious and famous painting. Now there are only more than two months left before the autumn auction. It is better to come up with such an orderly inherited painting that has been universally recognized. select.

If you come up with a highly controversial painting, it may not be universally recognized during the two-month publicity period, and it will inevitably greatly affect the price of the work. This is something Xiao Yao cannot accept.

In history, Van Gogh's "Sunflower" once had an auction record, creating the highest art auction price at that time.

At an international art auction held in 1987, the wealthy Japanese company Yasuda bought a painting of "Sunflower" by the Dutch Impressionist painter Van Gogh at a staggering price-39.5 million US dollars.

However, on June 9, 1998, eight well-known international art appraisal experts jointly pointed out that the "Sunflower" collected in the gallery of the Japanese Yasuda Fire and Marine Insurance Company was not painted by the Dutch Impressionist painter Van Gogh, but a painting. A fake!

Norman, a British art appraisal expert, believes that the "Sunflower" purchased by Japan's Yasuda Company was copied by a Frenchman named Skuffenac. Skufenak was Gauguin's friend and once kept Van Gogh's "Sunflower".

"Sunflower" has already had a counterfeit controversy. Xiao Yao chose to send "Sunflower". There can be no dispute over the authenticity of the work. Otherwise, the final auction price will inevitably be greatly affected.

The "Sunflower" he took out was a gift from a rich man to Panwu. It is an orderly work. Many appraisal masters and artists have participated in appraisal, and there is nothing in the authenticity of the work. dispute.

In the 1980s, Van Gogh's works on similar subjects had already sold for nearly 40 million U.S. dollars. Today, 30 years later, what prices will Van Gogh's works on similar subjects sell for? Xiao Yao is looking forward to it.

The four cultural relics that Xiao Yao brought out are all world-class art treasures. Even if you own one of them, if you publicize it properly, it will inevitably cause a world-class sensation. For such world-class art treasures, he took out 4 pieces for auction at a time. If the Yiyun auction house cannot invite enough guests to participate in the auction, then there will be no need for cooperation in the future.

The cooperation conditions given by Yiyun are heart-warming, but their disadvantages are also obvious. After all, the time when Yiyun was established is a bit shorter, and it still lacks world-class influence. If you can’t invite enough wealthy guests and famous names The museum participates in the auction, and the lot he sends out may not be at a price that satisfies him. From the perspective of interest, the shortcomings of Yiyun Auction House are also obvious.

Xiao Yao took out four world-class artworks at one time, also to make up for this disadvantage of Yiyun Auction House.

With these four nuclear bomb-level finale lots, once the promotion is launched, even if the influence of Yiyun Auction House in countries around the world is weak, but with good things in hand, it will definitely be able to attract target guests.

The autumn auctions of Yiyun Auction House are divided into Hong Kong Island autumn auctions and domestic Kyoto autumn auctions. Although Lu Yahong did not mention the domestic autumn auctions, Xiao Yao took the initiative to prepare some auctions suitable for domestic auctions.

After thousands of years of Panwu, there are too many cultural relics in the collection. Many of these cultural relics can't even be recorded in the circulated documents.

Since Xiao Yao intends to sell some of the relics in his collection in the future, he must first solve this problem.
