Inherit For Three Thousand Years

What Lu Jinguang wanted was the gimmick that his work was selected for the British Museum. One work is enough. Even if the sale price is lower, this gimmick is worth it.

As long as one work is selected for the British Museum, it is enough to make Xiao Yao famous, and Lu Jinguang is confident that the remaining three paintings can be sold at a price that is at least double or even higher.

Jingyuan Gallery is fortunate to sign Xiao Yao. Lu Jinguang is eager to make a little achievement to let Xiao Yao see his abilities. Now Xiao Yao sits firmly on the Diaoyutai, and he can only cooperate.

Following the request of the British Museum to purchase, the Metropolitan Museum, Tokyo Western Art Museum, Vatican Museum, Louvre and other world-renowned museums successively sent people to contact Lu Jinguang and expressed their willingness to purchase Xiao Yao's paintings.

Among the major museums, the most sincere is the Tokyo Western Art Museum. The Tokyo Art Museum's purchase price for "Girl Reading" and "Lotus Pond Frog" is 8 million US dollars, and the price for "Fire" and "Thunder" is 15 million US dollars.

Although Xiao Yao's artistic achievements are very high in these works, he is just emerging. It is unprecedented that a newcomer's work can sell for more than tens of millions of dollars.

It is a pity that Xiao Yao refused all the purchase requests of these museums without exception.

The Bali Contemporary Artists Exhibition was originally planned to be exhibited for half a month, but because these works by Xiao Yao were too much attention and attention, painters and critics from all over the world, attracted by the criticism, rushed to Paris to visit the exhibition in an endless stream. , Temporarily decided to extend the exhibition time by one week.

With the increase in the number of visitors, the sensation caused by Xiao Yao's works is getting bigger and bigger, and more and more people are attracted and rush to Paris to visit the exhibition.

Collectors from major museums and all over the world have thrown olive branches to Xiao Yao, paying more and more attention to these works, and the quotations are getting higher and higher.

At the end of the exhibition, the quotations for "Girl Reading" and "Frog in the Lotus Pond" had reached US$10 million, and the quotations for "Fire" and "Thunder" had reached US$20 million.

At the end of the exhibition, Xiao Yao originally thought that the influence of these works would gradually weaken until there was no interest in them.

But what he didn't expect was that over time, the sensation caused by these works would get bigger and bigger.

The first is the Bali Academy of Fine Arts, which introduced all his 4 works into the university textbooks, and then, the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, Florence Academy of Fine Arts, Repin Academy of Fine Arts, California Academy of Art, and Berlin University of Fine Arts and other world-renowned art schools , Have introduced 4 Xiao Yao's works into the university textbooks.

There are numerous analytical articles about these four works, and many experts have made comments.

Although Xiao Yao has just emerged and the price of his works has just begun, the artistry of his works has not been underestimated because of his youth and unknown status.

These four works of his have been unanimously appreciated by the art world, and are highly evaluated, and are generally regarded as epoch-making masterpieces.

These few works of Xiao Yao can resonate with the hearts of the viewers, and are undisputed works that touch the soul. Such works simply subvert people's cognition, and it is inevitable to be sought after.

After Xiao Yao was recognized as the founder of the Erxiang School, he was dubbed the "soul painter".

At the end of the exhibition, the four exhibited works returned to Xiao Yao's hands. At the same time, the person in charge of the art purchase department of the Louvre in Paris also followed.

It was Lu Jinguang who accompanied the group of Paris Louvre to Kyoto.

In the past few days, the person in charge of the Louvre in Paris has been in close contact with Lu Jinguang. Considering that the person in charge of the Louvre in Paris is really sincere, Lu Jinguang brought them to Kyoto to meet Xiao Yao.

After talking on the phone with Xiao Yao, Lu Jinguang directly took the Louvre and his party to the courtyard.

After walking in the courtyard and learning about the magnanimity and luxury of the courtyard, Abraham, the head of the Louvre in Paris, frowned slightly. He felt that his task this time might not be so easy to complete.

Although he has not yet met with Xiao Yao, he has already learned from the information that Xiao Yao is a rich man. This can be confirmed by the vast luxury of the courtyard.

If Xiao Yao were a painter with a difficult life, he would definitely hold onto the olive branch handed over by the Louvre. As long as the requirements of the Louvre in Paris are not excessive, it should be easy to win the other party's works.

However, Xiaoyao is a rich man, which is difficult to do.

For a rich man who is rich in life and not short of money, it must be very difficult to impress him.

After introducing each other’s identities in the living room, Abraham said straightforwardly: “Mr. Xiao, we at the Louvre in Paris are very optimistic about your works, and hope to introduce your works to our exhibition at the Louvre in Paris and keep them forever. I came here with sincerity and hope to get your consent and support."

"I feel extremely honored for the importance of Mr. Abraham and the Louvre in Paris. It is an honor for any painter to be selected for the work of the Louvre in Paris, and I am no exception."

Xiao Yao's conversation turned, "However, I don't think it is a good time to talk about this matter. I am still very young now, and I have not created many works. Put the time off for a few years before discussing cooperation. Maybe we both have More and better choices."

"No, no, I don't think so." Abraham shook his head repeatedly, "True art is the product of inspiration. Time can increase age, but it cannot build art. 4 works exhibited by Mr. Xiao in the exhibition All of them are masterpieces of contemporary art and have been widely acclaimed by the art world. There is no doubt about this. Therefore, you don’t need to be humble, let alone wait a few years. Art masterpieces like this should be placed in museums for the public. Visit."

"I am not modest. All these four works are the result of my hard work. You should know that I am not short of money, so I plan to collect these four works by myself, and I have no plans to sell them."

Xiao Yao said apologetically: "Let Mr. Abraham run for nothing. I am extremely sorry. I will ask Mr. Abraham to have fun in Kyoto these few days. Mr. Lu can be your guide."

Abraham had already prepared for Xiao Yao's refusal, and his only way now was to show sincerity on the price.

After a little pondering, Abraham said: "Mr. Xiao, don't be too busy to refuse. We at the Louvre in Paris are very sincere. You will know by listening to our offer."
