Chapter 2048 The teenager playing polo
In a blink of an eye, the second auction began.
Ye Tian picked one of the many boxes on the stage, moved it to the front of the stage, and then opened the box in front of the little babies below the stage, took out the items in the box and placed it on the edge of the stage.
This is a bronze sculpture about fifty centimeters tall. The theme is a young man riding on a horse. He is twisting his waist and swinging the polo. His expression is focused, full of youthful atmosphere and a bit of childlike fun.
The boy on the horse was about fourteen or fifteen years old. Judging from his appearance and outline, he was a typical European. Judging from the polo costume he wore, he should be polo costumes from the late 19th century to the early 20th century.
It can be seen from this that this bronze sculpture is likely to be from Europe from the late nineteenth century to the early twentieth century, and is a somewhat historical work of Western art.
As soon as it was unveiled, this bronze sculpture attracted all the attention of the little guys in front of the stage. The little babies were jumping around, yelling that they liked this thing and wanted to buy it.
Next, Ye Tian began to show these little babies and introduced the bronze sculpture. He even took the bronze sculpture and walked off the stage, allowing the little babies to touch the sculpture one by one.
At the same time, close-ups of this sculpture appeared on the large-screen TV on the scene, and it was taken from various angles, very detailed.
Many top collectors and antique art appraisal experts in this banquet hall soon saw that this bronze sculpture from the West is of high standard and is a very good work of art.
However, everyone has not had a profound understanding and research on Western artworks, and it is impossible to tell who the sculpture was from and what is its specific value!
As for the layman in the field of collecting antique art on site, he was even more confused, but everyone thought that this bronze sculpture was very good and had a sporty beauty.
After all, beauty is common, and as long as you are careful, everyone can feel it.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand or don’t understand this sculpture, isn’t there Ye Tian?
Soon, a close-up of Ye Tian's personal appearance appeared on the big-screen TV and began to introduce this bronze sculpture to everyone.
"The bronze sculpture in front of you is full of youth and a bit romantic tendency. It is a Western sculpture artwork. It is also a treasure I found in the Paris Saint-Tuan freak market.
When I found it in Paris, it was thrown into the corner of a small antique shop, with a thick layer of dust on it and splashed with green paint. It looked like there was no beauty at all and had been ignored for many years.
Then, I asked one of my subordinates to pretend to be a tourist, went to the antique shop at a later time, accepted the bronze sculpture, and took it back to the hotel to clean it up, so that it could shine again."
Hearing this, everyone in the banquet hall burst into laughter.
Ye Tian is not only extremely sharp in his eyes, but also extremely cunning. He has all kinds of tricks, which makes people unable to defend themselves. Who can withstand his plan?
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic to the owner of the antique store in the Paris Saint-Tuan thrift market.
On the big screen on the scene, Ye Tian was still introducing this bronze sculpture. A clear voice kept coming from the sound system and into the ears of everyone on the scene.
"After getting this "Boy who plays polo", I carefully studied and identified it. It is basically certain that this is a sculpture work written by Anthony Boudel, a famous French sculpture artist.
To be precise, this is an early work by Anthony Boudel's artistic career. The specific creation date should be around 1880, and the romantic tendency shown in sculpture is the best proof.
Everyone may not know Anthony Boudel, a famous sculptor from the late 19th to early 20th century France, but everyone must know his mentor and his idol.
That is Rodin, the famous French sculpture master, who created immortal sculptures such as "The Thinker", and Anthony Budel, is one of Rodin's most outstanding students, and he is also deeply influenced by Rodin.
In fact, in the field of modern European sculpture art, Rodin and his two students, Mayor and Boudel, are known as the "three pillars" of European sculpture and have a very high status in the history of Western art.
When creating this "Boy who plays polo", Anthony Budell had not yet been under Rodin's disciple, and his sculpture style had not been influenced by Rodin. His early works had obvious romantic tendencies.
Although it has nothing to do with Rodin, his early works are also very outstanding. When he created this work, Budell was about twenty years old, and he was at the age of youthful and passionate. This is reflected in his works,..."
With Ye Tian’s explanation, the banquet hall suddenly became boiling again, and screams continued to sound, and everyone was talking about it.
"I'll go! I just took out a green jade tiger from Lu Zigang's apprentice, and another work by the apprentice of Western sculpture master Luo Dan. Today's charity auction is so awesome and will definitely cause a huge sensation!"
"Who hasn't heard of Rodin, that's a deafening name! As Rodin's most proud student and is ranked alongside Rodin as the "three pillars" of European sculpture, how bad is Anthony Boudel?
There is no doubt that this guy named Anthony must be a top sculptor. This "Boy Playing Polo" must be valuable. I have to say that Xiaotian's work is really scary!"
While everyone was talking, they also took out their mobile phones and began to search for relevant information about the sculpture master Anthony Boudel online.
If you don’t check, you won’t know. If you check, you will be shocked!
Without exception, everyone was shocked by the prominent name and status of this French sculpture master, and was also shocked by the auction records of his related sculpture works!
When everyone checked the information and looked back at the bronze sculpture placed on the edge of the stage, everyone's eyes became extremely hot, and their eyes were as bright as searchlights.
Especially the top collectors and antique art appraisal experts who were on the scene were extremely envious, and even their eyes were red with jealousy.
At this time, they wished they could become three or four-year-old kids, and then ran to the edge of the stage to participate in this unique auction, and tried their best to win the sculpture.
At the same time, they also regretted it very much. If they had known that Ye Tian had such an arrangement, and that there would be so many valuable and rare antique art auctions, they should have brought their own little kids!
But unfortunately, these are all delusions. At this time, they can only watch and have no chance to participate in this competition.
Just as everyone was talking, the auction had begun under Ye Tian's apology.
"Little babies, what you see now is a sculpture from Europe, with a history of more than a hundred years. This is the item from the second auction.
If you like this sculpture, after the auction starts, you can raise your hands to meet the price and compete with other children to see who can win the sculpture.
Like the cute jade tiger just now, the starting price of this bronze sculpture is one dollar, one dollar! That little baby is ready to meet the price? Please raise your arm!"
Before he finished speaking, the audience had raised more than a dozen small arms of different lengths, and a beautiful childish voice sounded.
"I want this little bronze man riding a horse, Uncle Ye Tian, sell it to me, I'll give you one dollar!"
"Uncle Ye Tian, I like this golden villain. It's so beautiful. Can you sell it to me?"
In a voice full of coquettish taste, competition unfolded among these little babies again.
At the same time, everyone's eyes were instantly attracted to the auction process.
Especially the parents of these little babies are staring at their babies, their hearts are in their throats, but they still have to make an expression on their faces as if nothing is done.
It didn't take long before the five rounds of bidding were over.
This sculpture work, "The Boy Who Plays Polo", was written by French sculpture master Anthony Boudel, was finally sold for 2,000 yuan.
The person who took the sculpture was a boy about seven years old and a little brat of three and a half years old. The two shared the sculpture, and one person had half of the rights.
As for the subsequent procedures and whether there will be disputes, Ye Tian has long thought of a response strategy.
If the parents of the two little babies want to take away the sculpture, they must sign a contract to confirm that the family has half of the rights and notarize it on site by staff from the Beijing Notary Office.
The auction confirmation contract will also be clearly stated that this sculpture will not be stored in any of them, but will be stored in Ye Tian’s vault on Financial Street.
If the two families want to take out the sculpture, whether they take it home and take it to take it, sell it, or send it to auction, they must reach an agreement before they can take out the sculpture.
The reason why Ye Tian did this was to avoid controversy, causing unpleasant things, and turning a good thing into a disgusting thing.
The auction continues!
Antique artworks after antique art have been put on the stage one after another and are displayed in front of everyone.
Among these antique artworks are traditional Chinese calligraphy and painting artworks, porcelain, and other Chinese antique artworks, as well as paintings, sculptures, etc. from the West, which have alternately appeared.
As these antique artworks appeared one by one, the exclamations of the scene continued to sound one after another, one after another, and continued.
The people in the banquet hall were shocked by Ye Tian's big moves again and again, and were so amazed that the scene was like a boiling pot and very lively.
And those little babies who participated in the auction also gained something.
Under Ye Tian's adjustment, they either took an antique artwork alone or a few people took a favorite antique artwork together. No one of the little babies returned empty-handed and everyone was happy!
Not only were the little guys participating in the auction very satisfied, but they were very happy to have fun, but their parents were also very satisfied, and everyone had a bright smile on their faces.
Of course, those who are not married, have no children, or have not brought their children to the wedding banquet will inevitably be a little regretful!
Chapter completed!
