Chapter 314 (1/2)
Although Tang Huiqin is not as successful as his disciple Liu Yizhi, his paintings have not been recognized by European collectors. However, Tang Huiqin's reputation and authority in China is beyond doubt.
Apart from the others, the dozens of students she directly brought out are now the leading experts in the domestic painting field. Not to mention the students who came out of the Central Academy of fine arts to attend her classes and received some advice from her.
These are Tang Huiqin's influence in Chinese traditional painting. Although her paintings are not many, every one of them will be collected by her students at a high price. However, most of her paintings were donated to art galleries or used for charity photography. Basically, it doesn't matter who got the paintings of Mr. Tang. All of them are hidden in their own secret rooms like rare treasures. They only boast and force themselves to collect his works when they communicate with people in the circle. Therefore, there are very few paintings left by Mr. Tang.
”It is said that Mr. Tang has been out of the domestic painting circle for nearly ten years, and he is no longer teaching in the Central Academy of fine arts. But in recent years, as her disciples have come to the fore, her reputation has grown. In China, several paintings of Mr. Tang collected in his own hands have also been valued at more than seven figures, worth millions of yuan. ”
The mind of a collector is different from that of an artist. Although yuan Hai is half a collector and half a painter, he still tends to be more of a collector. When he enters the home of a leading painter like Tang Huiqin, what he thinks about is not how to respect him. I'm thinking about how to get paintings with collection value.
”In his early years, those ordinary paintings given to friends by Mr. Tang can reach the value of one million yuan. If this painting is the sealed work of Mr. Tang, and I have a little hype and publicity, maybe the value can be several times higher.”
Collection! Collection!
The core significance of collection is ”rarity”. No one has it. A single piece in the world, a sealed work or a dead work can add a mysterious color and value to the collection.
once had two as like as two peas in the auction. Each piece is worth more than five million yuan. The total value is about 10 million yuan. However, when the auction began, the seller took the initiative to smash one of them. As a result, there was only such a complete blue and white yuan in the world. Its price immediately went from five million yuan. It soared to nearly 20 million yuan.
This is that rarity is the most valuable thing. It is also the highest means to play with the collection. It's not just about the collection itself, it's a lot of time. What we are playing with is the story and value behind the collection, and even some reputation and scandal brought by the collection.
Playing with collection is also playing with people's hearts. Obviously, the collector yuan Hai is also well versed in this way. He just valued the title and attribute of the unknown painting ”the work of Old Tang Dynasty” in the living room.
It is believed that as long as the collectors who understand the status of Tang Lao in China's domestic painting circles can understand the meaning and value of these six words. Although it may not be as good as Liu Yizhi's ”the train is coming” that can let European collectors have more than 50 million US dollars to bid, but as long as the speculation is proper, it is still easy to sell a high price of 10 million yuan.
This is the skill of auction. Yuan Hai, who has been playing with collectors for more than ten years, has confidence in himself. If this painting is really the work of Tang Lao, he can sell it for a high price.
”Yizhi is coming. Come on Sit inside Li Ping and I will make a few more dishes... ” Hearing the noise, grandma Tang Huiqin came out of the kitchen with a smile. She saw Liu Yizhi and Yuan Hai, who had just entered the door and were sitting on the sofa in the living room, smiling and saying to Yuan Hai, ”this must be Mr. Yuan, the collector of Yizhi?”
”Hello, Mr. Tang, I dare not In fact, I'm also a half baked painter. I once heard your old class in the Central Academy of fine arts. I remember that the course ”the origin of European oil painting” that you always talked about was really wonderful. After so many years, I still feel like the afterglow in my ears. It's my honor to see Mr. Tang again today. ”
Seeing the kind Tang Huiqin, Yuan Hai quickly got up from the sofa and bowed, smiling and flattering.
However, Tang Huiqin, who was still a little fond of Yuan Hai at the beginning, saw yuan Hai like this, and immediately knew what kind of person Yuan Hai was. He has a slightly fat body, not long and short inch, a little greasy and smooth, his eyes are narrower, his mouth is big, his nose is a little collapsed, he is not a good man at a glance.
With Yuan Hai's words just now, Tang Huiqin has read countless people, and she knows more about it. In general, there are only three kinds of people who come to find her. One is their former friends or students who come to talk about the past. The second is that some students or painters who really want to ask for advice are not selfish, they just discuss their experiences with each other. The third is that people like yuan Hai, who visit in the name of visiting, are actually looking for opportunities to make a fortune, and want to take a picture or two from themselves.
Tang Huiqin, who read countless people, basically saw through yuan Hai's mind at a glance. So naturally, he didn't have much enthusiasm for him. However, out of politeness, she still gave him a faint smile, and then turned to his student Liu Yizhi and said, ”Yizhi, the teacher has nothing good to serve you today. You are now a great painter in the world. You can leave a mark in the history of art in the future. Don't mind if the teacher only has some home cooked food”I don't mind, teacher. The last time I ate the dishes, I helped you to do the project in my spare time. Those martial brothers, if they know that I can still eat the dishes made by the teacher, they will surely envy me to death. ”
Liu Yizhi laughed and waved his hand.
No matter how well-known he is in the world, he always feels that in front of his teacher Tang Huiqin, he is still a student who knows little about it. Over the years. After traveling all over the European continent, he examined the origin of oil painting and the causes and processes of the rise of various schools one by one, proving once again the correctness of his teacher Tang Huiqin's views. I admire the teacher Tang Huiqin even more.
This time back in Jian'an City, Liu Yizhi also has an important request, that is, to ask his teacher Tang Huiqin to write a preface to the history of European oil painting, which he painstakingly wrote.
He he, you are the teacher Yizhi, I heard that this time, you have published a history of European oil painting. Can you send a copy to the teacher
Tang Huiqin, still wearing an apron. There's light in the eyes. say.
”Of course. Teacher, this time I just want you to have a look at my book the history of European oil painting. Please make a preface and then send it to publication. Here is the manuscript... ”
