Chapter 438: Sweeping New York Autumn Auctions

The weather in New York is getting colder and colder and the scenery on the streets is getting bleak! There are fallen leaves everywhere and the westerly wind is tightening!

Autumn is leaving quietly and the footsteps of winter are already clearly audible!

But in the major auction houses in New York, it is hot, like the height of summer!

Heavyweight antiques are constantly emerging in various auctions and the bidding is very hot. The top antiques sold at sky-high prices are everywhere!

In this fall, Ye Tian has become the biggest star in the New York autumn auction!

At this time, he is always the focal point no matter where he goes!

Many media reporters are frantically chasing news about him and his heavyweight antique artworks.

And many collectors and art investors who participated in the New York autumn auctions are also paying attention to him all the time and see that he will be in contact with that sky-high antique art!

In the days after Paul Cézanne's two top oil paintings were sold at sky-high prices, which shocked the entire art collection market, several top antique artworks belonging to Ye Tian were sold one after another.

Without exception, the hammer prices of these top antique artworks are sky-high prices, shocking the New York market time and time again, shocking the entire field of antique art collections, making everyone stunned!

On the morning of the 4th day of the New York autumn auction, the first Portland vase copied in 1790 by the British official kiln at Wedgwood was successfully sold at the "European Porcelain and Crafts Boutique" auction held in the Rockefeller Building.

This is the first Portland vase ever to be successfully replicated. It took three years and countless manpower and material resources. The artistic value and market value are all extraordinary!

When this vase appeared at the auction, it was immediately chased and favored by European and American antique art collectors and the competition was fierce!

Ye Tian's reservation price for this European antique vase was 30 million U.S. dollars and the final transaction price was 56 million U.S. dollars.

This vase was woned by a well-known collector from the UK. This antique vase originally from the UK can be regarded as the hometown return!

That night, Sotheby's Building held a "Pop Art" evening auction. In this auction, Ye Tian's "Marilyn Monroe" by Andy Warhol was also successfully sold. Deal!

The reserve price of this famous painting was 22 million U.S. dollars and the final transaction price was 67 million U.S. dollars. It was the highest-priced artwork at auction that night and once again shook the New York autumn auction market!

After the hammer fell, this "Marilyn Monroe" from a restaurant in Pittsburgh broke into the top 10 of Andy Warhol's art sales records, ranking 7th!

For this price, Ye Tian is not particularly satisfied.

You know, in 2007, another Andy Warhol's "Marilyn Monroe" was sold at a sky-high price of US$80 million!

Who knows why in the past so many years, Andy Warhol's works of the same subject, the hammer price actually was falling instead of rising, it is really depressing!

This is also the case with Andy Warhol's works. This product is the world's largest art dealer! There are too many works, a little bit of suspicion of fooling people!

Although Ye Tian was not very satisfied with the hammer price, the rest of the people who participated in this auction with him were very satisfied!

The moment the hammer fell, they immediately began to cheer and celebrate, almost crazy with excitement! they didn't care if they was still in the auction hall!

These guys are Jason, Sophie, Walker and Raymond, including Betty!

When accepting the "Marilyn Monroe" at the restaurant in Pittsburgh, Ye Tian promised that each of them would receive 2% of the auction proceeds of the painting as a reward for cooperating with the acting at that time!

The transaction price of "Marilyn Monroe" was US$67 million. After deducting the commission, it was nearly US$60 million! 2% reward for each person, that is more than 1 million US dollars!

In a blink of an eye, they became a millionaire. Can these guys not be ecstatic?

Seeing their excitement and excitement, Ye Tian didn't care too much about the low price of "Marilyn Monroe". After the auction ended, he immediately took these guys to a carnival!

Two more days later, on the 7th day of the New York autumn auction, the'American Contemporary Art' special auction kicked off in Rockefeller Building!

In this auction, Ye Tian had two more heavyweight works of art sold at sky-high prices one after another, bringing him a large amount of green dollars!

The first is the work of the famous American illustrator Norman Rockwell, a hand-painted movie poster for "A Streetcar Named Desire"!

Ye Tian's reserve price for this painting is 15 million U.S. dollars, with a starting price of 8 million U.S. dollars.

In the end, the hammer price of this painting was 41 million U.S. dollars, which is a very ideal price!

After all, this is just a hand-painted movie poster, incomparable to top oil paintings and there are relatively few collectors, not as popular as top oil paintings! The price is not so exaggerated!

This hand-painted movie poster was woned by MOMA, who is also in New York!

The sponsor of the Museum of Modern Art in New York is the Rockefeller family, who is never short of money! Is one of the main buyers of modern and contemporary art in the New York auction market! This time, they also made a contribution to Ye Tian!

Jackson Pollock's outstanding representative work of abstract expressionism, "Autumn Rhythm, No. 20", created in 1950, was also sold in this special auction and it was the finale!

After "Autumn Rhythm, No. 20" was released in Birmingham, it immediately shocked the entire art collection field and everyone was dumbfounded and exclaimed!

The appearance of this painting broke people's consistent perception of the number of Pollock's works. This is a brand new painting that no one has seen before!

Moreover, it is Pollock's most peak period of 1950's works. In addition to having extraordinary artistic value and market value, it also has great research value!

From the day this top art piece was released, it has attracted a lot of people's attention!

Most of them are well-known collectors and art investors who are interested in contemporary art and Pollock's works. They also include major museums, such as MOMA!

These guys are always keeping an eye on the movement of this top-level artwork, waiting for the day when this painting will be unveiled in the New York autumn auction for the public auction!

As long as this painting is unveiled, these people will do everything they can to compete for this top-level artwork, even going bankrupt!

In addition to artistic factors, there is another important reason why people are so crazy. The price of Pollock's works has been soaring in recent years, almost one price raise a year!

More importantly, the number of Pollock's works is very small. At the peak of 1950, he only created three paintings, which have very high investment value!

Unlike the guy Andy Warhol, who can make thousands of copies in a year and most of them are repetitive subjects. So who should he talk to to make sense?

Ye Tian is full of confidence in this Pollock painting and he is very sure that this top-level painting will bring him a huge surprise! Bring a lot of dollars!

Therefore, he set an unusually high reserve price for this painting, as high as 75 million US dollars! Same level as "The Boy in the Red Vest"!

Sotheby's also attached great importance to this painting. Not only did the publicity work cover all aspects, it also put this painting at the end of the "American Contemporary Art" special shooting, the finale!

The scene after the auction started fully met the expectations of Ye Tian and Sotheby's and the competition was fierce!

The starting price of this painting was 35 million U.S. dollars. From the moment the auctioneer shouted out the first offer, the entire auction hall was completely ignited and became extremely hot!

Famous collectors and art investors from all over the world, as well as major museums, have launched a fierce competition on the auction site!

After the competition is in full swing, everyone participating in the bidding is almost crazy!

In the mouths of these guys, dollars are like waste paper! They can splash it at will!

After more than 30 rounds of fierce bidding, the final transaction price of this Pollock painting fell at a high of US$195 million!

Only 5 million dollars short! This painting can break the highest auction record for Pollock's works!

If someone count the 12% buyer's commission, this painting can immediately exceed $200 million, leaving Pollock's sales record far behind!

The buyer who woned this Pollock painting is a famous American billionaire and a famous art collector!

After this special auction fell, on the top 10 list of world art auction records, another brand new top art was added, and it ranked 4th!

More importantly, this is another artwork from Steven's bastard!

Among the top 10 lists of the latest world art auction records, three of the paintings are from Steven's bastard! The transaction prices are very high, ranking second, third and fourth on the list respectively!

In addition to these top artworks sold for more than 100 million U.S. dollars, Steven that bastard still has many antique artworks worth more than 10 million U.S. dollars!

There are more million-dollar antiques art! The autumn auctions have never been interrupted in the past few days and news comes from various auction venues!

Upon learning of this, almost everyone was stunned!

At this time, everyone is very convinced that bastard Steven is definitely the biggest winner of this year's New York autumn auction!

The report of the "New York Times" is correct, this is Steven's New York autumn auction season alone!

The media was completely detonated!

Ye Tian has naturally become the hottest news figure in New York nowadays. He has been madly chased by countless media reporters and has also made people in the field of art collection envy!

During this period, Ma Weidu and the others returned to New York and participated in a special auction of Chinese antique porcelain, which contributed a lot to Ye Tian.

Then, they went to Philadelphia again to participate in a Chinese antique art auction held there!

Later, on the evening of the sixth day of the New York autumn auction, they left the United States together and flew back to Beijing!

Before leaving, Ye Tian got together with the few old men again!

In addition to eating and talking about their gains, everyone also discussed cooperation matters and basically determined the cooperation charter and the method of transaction!

In future treasure hunts, if Ye Tian finds a good Chinese antique artwork, he will give priority to sell to these few people and no longer go through the auction house, so as not to be separated from the buyer and the seller by these guys!

This way of trading can also avoid being scooped by the U.S. government. The bastards of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service are definitely the most brutal bandits in the world!

For the sake of safety, avoid being discovered by the band of robbers from the IRS and avoid being betrayed by others! Ye Tian designed a set of perfect trading procedures and only then reached a cooperation agreement with a few old men!

A few days have passed in a blink of an eye and the New York autumn auction is almost over.

On Sunday, Ye Tian and Betty came to Sotheby's auction house again.

Welcome another heavyweight special shoot!
