After some pleasantries, everyone got down to business.

Xiao Ran moved the West African wood carving over and placed it in front of several mobile phones used for live broadcasting.

The moment he saw this wooden carving, Pierre was stunned for a moment, and his eyes immediately showed a look of surprise.

"Wow! This is a very good West African wood carving

, it is likely to be a masterpiece" "Congratulations, Sean, found such a treasure, your luck is really

enviable" Xiao Ran nodded lightly, and said proudly:

"It seems that our judgment is correct, this is indeed a wood carving work from the master

" "After bringing this West African wood carving back, Elaine and I studied it carefully and came to some identification conclusions"

"But we're not sure, I want to ask you to help you identify it

" "We will send the detailed pictures and videos of this West African wood carving to your mailbox immediately"

At the same time as he said this, Elaine had already sent the pictures and videos.

Pierre then turned on the computer and began to look at the detailed pictures.

It took him about five minutes to check it out.

At this time, the surprise in his eyes had become even stronger.

"Sean, I really want to hear the identification conclusions you and Elaine reached

" "Your identification conclusions may be very accurate, you don't need to consult me"

Hearing this, Xiao Ran immediately looked at Elaine.

Only then did he say his conclusions.

"After some research, Elaine and I both believe that this West African wood carving is likely to be the work of the African master Al Annazu

" "And it is a masterpiece of his artistic peak, he created wood carvings in the same period, and

the Los Angeles Museum of Modern Art has a collection" "It was after careful comparison with the collection of the Los Angeles Museum of Modern Art that we came to this identification conclusion"

The words did not fall, on the large-screen TV next to Xiao Ran, at the same time appeared the wood sculpture of El Annazu in the collection of the Los Angeles Museum of Modern Art.

It was Fang Yufei who was responsible for the operation display.

The wood sculpture in the collection of the Los Angeles Museum of Modern Art is also a portrait sculpture, but a sculpture of an African woman holding a child.

The shape of the wood carving is also very exaggerated, but full of imagination, vitality, and very dramatic tension!

The moment he saw the wood carving, both Pierre and many fans in the live broadcast room exclaimed.

At the same time, many people are determined.

The West African wood carving that Xiao Ran found is the work of the African art master Al Annazu.

The reason is simple, there are too many similarities in the style of the two West African wood carvings, even the wood used for carving is the same, both are African rosewood.

"Sean, I agree with you, this Angry Man should be El's peak work,"

Pierre nodded appreciatively.

Without waiting for Xiao Ran and Elaine to respond, he suddenly changed his tone.

"In order to ensure the accuracy of this identification conclusion, I can ask El Annazu for verification

" "More than ten years ago, Al worked as an exchange scholar in the Louvre for a period of time, studying many sculptures in the Louvre

" "At that time, I met Al and have been in touch ever since"

Hearing this, Xiao Ran and Elaine were delighted.

They nodded hurriedly.

"That's great, Pierre, please ask Al Annazu for confirmation

" "If you can get the endorsement of Al Annazur, there will be no doubt about this "Angry Man", and the value will be greatly increased!"

Pierre nodded immediately.

"Okay, Sean, Elaine, I'll ask Al right away,"

and then he began to call Al Annazu in Nigeria.

At this time, the live broadcast room has already opened.

"I'll go! It's awesome to be able to contact the artist himself directly, buddy is an eye-opener today!

Cold-blooded Fearless let out an exclamation.

"If this 'Angry Man' can be endorsed by the artist himself, the value is absolutely amazing, Xiao Ran's product is really a big leak!"

Elder Zhao of Heavenly Mountain Village continued.

At this moment, King Ben of Miao suddenly asked curiously:

"Can anyone give this African art master Al Annazu a popular science, is his work very valuable?"

Xiao Ran smiled softly, and then began to introduce this African art master.

"Al Annazu is the most important African artist alive and still engaged in artistic creation

", "He is considered to be a master of art who turns waste into treasure, a model and pride of African

artists", "And the winner of the Golden Lion Award for Lifetime Achievement at the Venice International Art Biennale, the highest status and the highest value of his works among all African artists in the world! With

this introduction, an exclamation suddenly sounded in the live broadcast room.

Those rich second-generation and appraisal experts in the live broadcast room, as well as every fan in the collector's live broadcast room, began to move!

Such a top-notch work of art of great value, can they not be impressed!

At this moment, Pierre's voice suddenly came again.

"Sean, Elaine, I contacted Al

" "You can see him through the video, you can verify the authenticity of this wood carving in person"

Pierre pointed the phone camera at the laptop screen.

An old black man of about eighty years old immediately appeared on the mobile phone screen and appeared in front of Xiao Ran and Elaine.

He has gray hair, but he is in good spirits, and has a melancholy temperament characteristic of artists.

This is the most important African art master in the world today, Al Annazur.

Xiao Ran and Elaine knew this art master and recognized him at a glance.

Under Fang Yufei's operation, the mobile phone picture was synchronized on the large-screen TV, and then appeared in front of all fans in the live broadcast room.

Everyone has just found Al Annazur's profile and photos on the Internet, and naturally knows the most important African art master in the world.

The moment he saw this African art master, the only trace of doubt in everyone's mind suddenly disappeared.

Those who set their eyes on this West African wood carving all shone with excitement, hoping to immediately compete and win this top work of art.

Under Pierre's introduction, Xiao Ran and Elaine got to know each other with the African art master, and had a few polite words.

Immediately afterward, Al Annazu looked at the wood carving.

The moment he saw the wood carving, he was suddenly stunned, as if caught in a memory.

It was only after a moment that he woke up from his memories.

The next moment, his emotions suddenly became excited.

"Thank you, Sean, Elaine, thank you for discovering this "Angry

Man"" "I always thought that this statue had been burned down a long time ago, but I didn't expect it to end up in Los Angeles

" "Yes, this "Angry Man" is indeed my work!"

Before the words fell, Xiao Ran and they were already cheering.

"It's amazing, I knew it was a top piece of art!"

Even though he already knew this answer, Xiao Ran still waved his fist excitedly.

He knows very well that with the endorsement of Al Annazu, the value of this "Angry Man" will definitely skyrocket!

In the live broadcast room, there was also jubilation.

Everyone is excited to see such a scene, even if this sculpture has little to do with everyone.

From an aesthetic point of view, few Chinese like this thing.

But there's no denying that this is a top-notch piece of art of great value.

And it's also an opportunity to broaden your eyes and learn about African art today.

After a short celebration, Xiao Ranfang smiled and said:

"Mr. Anazu, no need to thank you, I found this wood carving work, it is also a coincidence

" "If you can, I hope you can introduce this "Angry Man", I want to know more about this sculpture!"

"No problem, Sean,"

Al Anazu nodded and began to introduce the sculpture.

"It was created at the end of 1989, a few months before I represented Africa at the 44th International Art Biennale in Venice

" "At that time, I was selected as one of the five artists to represent Africa, and I wanted to create a sculpture that reflected the current situation

in Africa" "So I went to South Africa to collect style, and at the end of 1989, the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa was in full swing and was the focus of the whole Africa and the world"

Hear here, Xiao Ran and Elaine immediately looked at each other.

In each other's eyes, they both saw a look of ecstasy.

But they didn't make a sound, but continued to listen.

After a pause, Al Annazu continued his briefing.

"When I arrived in South Africa, the white South African government was negotiating with the ANC to discuss Mandela's release, and the two sides were deadlocked

" "As a black man, I naturally joined the pro-Mandela camp and created this work that represented the spirit of resistance of black South Africans

" "Unfortunately, this wood carving was only a few days after it was created, and it was snatched and confiscated by the white South African police after only one exhibition" "

It was a full thirty years after that, this "Angry Man" has never appeared again, until today,...... "

Xiao Ran was completely dumbfounded, and extremely excited.

He never expected that this "Angry Man" was actually related to the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa and to Mandela, the national icon of black people.

It is not even ruled out that the original form of this sculpture is Mandela himself!

In the United States, where the Black Lives Matter movement is surging, the value of this sculpture can be imagined.

In the live broadcast room, everyone was dumbfounded and stunned.

Especially those guys in the collector's live broadcast room, they are all crazy with excitement!

They instantly realized that this was a priceless treasure!
