Chapter 429: One Person's New York Autumn Auction

The Latin American art auction in the afternoon went very smoothly, and it soon reached its final moment.

"US$29 million, 29 million, is there anyone still asking for the price? This is Guayasamín's peak painting, the most outstanding work of magical realism and the brightest jewel of Latin American art. Don't miss it!"

The voice of the auctioneer resounded throughout the audience, trying to confuse the large number of Hispanic buyers in the auction hall, including the many bidders who bid via telephone and computers.

But this price has exceeded the psychological price of many people and no one raised a placard to ask for the price again. All the people replied to the auctioneer were only a slight shaking of their head and a face of disappointment and regret!

Seeing this, the auctioneer on the stage did not hesitate anymore and immediately began the countdown.

"The first time of 29 million US dollars, the second time, Sold! The deal! 28 million US dollars, the winning bidder is the No. 26 bidder, Mr. Carlos Slim from Mexico, congratulations!"

With the passionate voice of the auctioneer and gestures to the audience, the auction mallet in his hand also fell heavily.

"boom!"

The final word, the auction is over.

"Papa...Papa"

There was a burst of warm applause.

What followed was the Spanish that filled the ears, or excited, disappointed, or emotional! There are many emotions in people's tone!

Ye Tian stood up from his seat and smiled brilliantly.

Then he whispered to Betty next to him:

"My dear, let's go home. Today's auctions are over and the results are perfect! What a pleasant day!"

"Wow! 28 million U.S. dollars! Surprisingly more than the reserve price of 18 million U.S. dollars! This price is incredible!"

Betty murmured to herself, she was still in shock, her eyes widened and she looked directly at the auction stand and the oil painting next to the auction stand!

"Hahaha, that's Guayasamín, the treasure of Latin America! But for Latin American art collectors, who doesn't like his works? Who doesn't want to get his works? The price is reasonable, as I expected!"

Ye Tian pointed to the painting on the stage triumphantly and then left the auction hall with Betty.

When he left Rockefeller Building in a fiery red Ferrari and returned to his apartment on 110th Street, the entire New York art market had a complete sensation!

The sale price of this Guayasamín oil painting was announced by Sotheby's auction house for the first time. Many media reporters interviewed at the auction site also released relevant news quickly.

28 million dollars! For Latin American art, this price is very rare. Although it has not created a new transaction record, it is not far away!

Once the news was revealed, the Mexican telecommunications tycoon Carlos Slim who woned the painting and this Guayasamín oil painting naturally attracted attention and caused countless heated discussions!

And Ye Tian, ​​who sent this oil painting, attracted countless attention.

Everyone is sighing for his near-bursting good fortune, he still has top Latin American works of art in his hands, which is envious to death!

In this auction, two other works of Ye Tian were also sold smoothly and the transaction price was quite good and satisfactory!

One is an oil painting by a famous Mexican painter, which was sold for US$970,000; the other is an ancient Indian sculpture from Peru, which was bought by an American collector for US$1.8 million.

There are several mysterious hieroglyphs on this sculpture, which is of archaeological value and artistic value is quite good, so it was be sold at such a high price!

After the first day of the New York autumn auctions was all over, the media with good news quickly made statistics and found that on the first day alone, Steven bastard swept more than 52 million US dollars in the New York autumn auction!

Once the news was revealed, it immediately caused a sensation again and almost everyone was stunned by the news!

And everyone knows very well that this is just the beginning and the most important antique artwork in the hands of Steven that bastard has not yet appeared!

God knows what sky-high prices the heavyweight antique works of art will be sold for, without even thinking about it, it must be jaw-dropping and eye-popping!

Steven that bastard is bound to harvest dollars frantically again and again, sweeping the entire New York autumn auction market like a hurricane, sweeping the wallets of many famous collectors and billionaires! No one can stop!

This year's New York autumn auction may even turn into bastard Steven's solo show, turning into a gold mine of his crazy wealth.

All media reporters and collectors think so! Although they do not want to admit it, it seems to be becoming a reality!

At the end of the auction on the first day of the autumn auction in New York, Ye Tian naturally became the most dazzling star, the focus of all media attention and the focus of everyone in the autumn auction market.

But what everyone does not know is that the more than 52 million US dollars is not all that Ye Tian has gained!

On the same day, at several auctions at Christie's, several antique works of art belonging to Ye Tian were also sold one after another, which earned him a large sum of dollars.

These antique works of art were presented to Christie's auction by Bowie's hands and the prices were pretty good!

At the Sotheby's special auction of Chinese paintings and calligraphy, Ma Weidu and the others also had their own gains.

Ma Weidu took a picture of Dong Qichang, which is a pretty good ink and wash landscape painting; Mr. Liu took a picture of a Zhang Daqian lady, which made him quite satisfied!

What Mr. Li harvested was a picture of Liu Yong's calligraphy and the calligraphy works of the four schools of Qing Dynasty are naturally not bad! Mr. Wang bought an ink landscape painting by Shen Zongjing, a famous Chinese painting master in the Qing Dynasty!

Each of them is very satisfied with their gains and it can be described as a rewarding experience!

That night, Ye Tian invited these four old Chinese men to the Chinese restaurant of the Waldorf Astoria to enjoy an authentic Chinese meal.

During the banquet, these four old men who had been tortured by Western food for several days, one by one pulled away their back teeth and shook off their cheeks. What they ate was a hearty drink, and they had an addiction. The trench is full!

After dinner, Ye Tian took them to Broadway to watch a musical.

It wasn't until eleven o'clock in the evening that everyone left! Ye Tian took Betty home and Ma Weidu and the others returned to the hotel to replenish their energy and prepare to fight the auction tomorrow.

The second auction day of the New York autumn auction is coming soon.

Ye Tian had five antique artworks for auction that day, but he only went to one of the auctions.

A special auction of European sculptures and crafts.

In this auction, two works by the super-existentialist sculptor Giacometti will be unveiled and one of the sculptures is the finale of this special sale!

The auction process went very smoothly! Like the previous royal furniture, these two sculptures have also been enthusiastically sought after by many European and American collectors and investors! The competition is fierce!

In the end, the two sculptures were acquired by an American billionaire and a Swiss collector, respectively, at a price of $52 million and $45 million.

Although the auction prices of the two sculptures are very high, they are far from the auction record of Giacometti's works and they are not even among the top ten!

Of course, this price is already very good. It is a rare high price for European sculptures in the past two years. Ye Tian is satisfied 10,000 times, and he is crazy!

After all, this is Giacometti's early works, which cannot be compared with his sculptures at his peak after World War II, nor can they be expected to break the auction record of Giacometti's sculptures.

Two sculptures for 97 million US dollars, plus three antique works of art sold at the other two auctions, Ye Tian's auction revenue on that day easily exceeded 100 million US dollars!

Not surprisingly, this huge amount of revenue once again shocked the media and shook the entire art collection market, leaving everyone stunned and crazy!

As soon as the European Sculpture and Crafts Special Auction ended, the New York Times published a sensational news headline on its online edition.

The rest of the media followed suit and with their intensive reports, more and more eyes focused on Ye Tian!

There is envy in these eyes! There is jealousy! And naked hatred!

Of course also has countless greedy eyes! Not only from the relevant tax department, but also from the covetous eyes of many bastards!

For these, Ye Tian didn't care at all, just enjoying the joy of harvest.

On this day, Sotheby's did not have a special auction of Chinese antique art. Mr. Ma and the others went to Christie's and continued to purchase Chinese antique art.

Several people have gained a lot and ended the day's auction itinerary with satisfaction!

Among them, the piece of porcelain that Mr. Li received originally belonged to Ye Tian!

It was a porcelain painting by Wang Yeting, the eight friends of Zhushan Mountain, which appeared at Christie's auction by Bowie's hand, and Mr. Li also contributed a large amount of US dollars to Ye Tian.

After the auction ended, Ye Tian immediately contacted Ma Weidu and the others on the phone and asked about the situation, but they did not meet again.

In the blink of an eye, it was the third auction day of the New York autumn auction. Ma Weidu and the others left New York early in the morning and rushed to Boston!

Today there is an Asian art auction and there will be a few pretty good Chinese antiques that will be unveiled and Ma Weidu and his group will naturally not miss it.

Ye Tian came to Sotheby's Building again to take part in a heavyweight auction held here.
