Chapter 376: Chapter 376: Sweet Alabama
"My dear! Can you explain this oil painting? I am very interested. Its subject matter is too heavy! It is heartbreaking to look at it! This is the work of which painter? Very special!"
Betty asked curiously, pointing to Guayasamín's oil painting, still fondling the mutton jade antique.
At this time, Ye Tian and the others had left the Trenton courtyard Market and drove back onto Highway 59, heading towards Alabama!
As soon as he returned to the Marauder, Ye Tian gave the suet jade antique to Betty and explained the beautiful meaning and value of the mandarin duck antique.
Knowing that mandarin ducks are a symbol of loyal love, Betty immediately fell in love with the mandarin duck antique, and after admiring it, she kept fondling with it in her hand, she couldn't put it down!
That Guayasamín oil painting was temporarily put aside by Ye Tian and did not immediately explain it.
He was going to leave the Trenton courtyard market to explain again, it was not too late!
In the process of explaining oil painting, he must show some acting skills, and use a magnifying glass to do an appraisal of the painting to knowing the result. Of course, the less people know the better.
Seeing that he bought these items, several reporters came up to ask or take photos, wanting to find out, hoping that this will be another major discovery! Another good news!
However, Ye Tian chose to hide himself this time, and just found an excuse to deal with the reporter.
He also didn't tell Jason the exact answer, only that he might have something, and he still needs to do some careful identification before he can announce the result.
Now that everyone has left Trenton, it is time to reveal the answer, lest Betty suffer from this question all the time!
"Of course, dear!"
Ye Tian said with a smile, and gently kissed Betty.
After speaking, he immediately took the backpack next to him, took out the high-power magnifying glass that had been prepared, and then began to explain!
"This oil painting is a Latin American work of art, with obvious magical realism and some Indian culture. It is very popular in Latin America, but it is rare in the United States!
Its subject matter is indeed very heavy, the color is dark, and it gives people a feeling of pain and depression. Looking at the picture can experience the sad emotions, which is exactly what the artist wants to express.
Combining his artistic style, expressive techniques, high drawing skills, and his compassion and sympathy for the people at the bottom, I can basically determine the author of this oil painting.
It is very likely to come from the hand of Guayasamín, the most famous painter in Latin America, known as 'Picasso in the Western Continent'. If my judgment is correct, then this is definitely a top-level artwork!"
While explaining, Ye Tian carefully took the oil painting over, placed it on the middle armrest of the back seat, and began to observe carefully with a magnifying glass.
Of course, this action is purely redundant, it is completely performed for Betty.
"Wow! It's another top art piece!"
Betty exclaimed, and then leaned her head enthusiastically, to revealed the secret hidden in the painting with Ye Tian.
After half a minute, there was a sudden excitement in the car, from Betty!
"I saw it! There are two letters here, the capital 'O.G', and the year 1956. Is this the time when the author signed and created this oil painting?"
Ye Tian glanced at the picture under the magnifying glass again, and then pretended to be excited:
"Yes! Honey, I can say with certainty that this is Guayasamín's painting! It was created in 1956, which was the peak of his artistic career. I saw this signature in MOMA.
Since it is confirmed that it is his peak work, it must be of great value. With his great appeal in the Latin American art collection market, it is very easy for this oil painting to sell for tens of millions of dollars!"
As soon as the voice fell, there was a burst of excitement in the car immediately.
After a brief celebration, Ye Tian resumed the topic just now, and continued to explain the oil painting to Betty, and also introduced Guayasamín's life and his great artistic achievements!
It was not until the explanation was over that he carefully put away this top oil painting.
This time he did not intend to inform the people of Sotheby's Latin American Art Department to come for appraisal and acceptance, but to personally bring this oil painting back to New York, and then send it to the New York autumn auction! To make a lot of money!
Corridor 127 is only one and a half days away from closing, no need to call!
And he is also very convinced that with the powerful force of himself and Matisse team, absolutely no one can threaten him, and no one can rob him!
No matter which bastard, if someone come to trouble him at this time, will be ruined!
After identifying the oil painting, he didn't forget to notify the others to satisfy everyone's curiosity, lest these guys suffer.
"Guys! That oil painting has been appraised, you can tell everyone clearly that this is a top-level work of art, from the hands of the precious painter Guayasamín in Latin America! It is worth more than ten million dollars!"
Before the voice was over, cheers came from the intercom!
"Awesome! Steven, your vision is truly unique! Congratulations!"
"Oh my god! Art worth more than ten million dollars! It's too exaggerated! Steven, you have swept away the most precious antique art in the Corridor 127, right?"
Bingo! That's right!
And it's by no means just the most precious antique works of art, but all the leaks that are of little value have been swept away by him, leaving no hair behind!
Ye Tian smiled triumphantly, and Betty smiled more brilliantly.
When the cheers fell slightly, Ye Tian smiled and said again:
"One more thing, this treasure hunt in Corridor 127 is coming to an end. Although the journey was very thrilling, it was rewarding. I found a lot of treasures. It can be called a complete treasure hunt.
In order to thank you all for your hard work, working side by side with me and experiencing ups and downs together, I have prepared a generous reward for everyone. Everyone has it. You are willing to ask for US dollars or antiques. You choose!
The degree of reward varies from person to person. After all, everyone joined the treasure hunt team at different times and cannot be used across the board! To be sure, everyone can make a fortune! Satisfied? Guys? "
There was silence in the intercom, and only a heavy and rapid breathing could be heard, all of them resembling a train! Excited whistling and breathing!
Everyone knows the generosity of Ye Tian's reward. Hearing this passage, his excitement almost stopped beating! No one is exception!
They can make a fortune again! There is no doubt!
And it is likely to be more rewarding than the one in Alaska. This treasure hunt was even more dangerous. There have been several wars in succession, and the time was longer!
Combining these factors, Steven's reward must be higher. This is a certainty!
Especially Walker and Raymond, as well as Jason and Sophie who have followed all the way from New York, are even more excited and dancing!
They seem to have seen a lot of dollars fall from the sky and hit their heads. Is there anything happier than this? It's so happy and dizzying!
After a short pause, an excitement of cheers came out from the four bullet-proof SUVs, resounding over Highway 59.
The cheers were so loud that they even frightened the police officers and many reporters who followed closely, thinking that something was going on ahead!
Ye Tian in the Marauder had foresight and had already lowered the volume, staying away from the intercom, otherwise his ears would be deafened by this group of people!
The cheers soon fell, and then the words of gratitude came like a tide!
"Steven, thank you! You are definitely the most generous employer in the United States! No matter what rewards others want, I only need dollars and the green Franklins is my true love!"
"Satisfied! I am so satisfied! Steven, providing you with security services is the best job that I have ever done! Thank you! You are such a generous fellow!
Cole is right, Franklins is my true love and I want dollars! Compared to antique art, I still think the dollar is more real and more specific!"
While praising and thanking, everyone quickly made a choice.
Only Jason chose to buy antique art, and the rest of the people chose US dollars in unison. No matter what they choose, everyone was very happy!
Amidst laughter and joy, four bullet-proof SUVs galloped along Highway 59, continuing to conquer the few remaining journey of Corridor 127.
In the following section of the road, courtyard markets on both sides of the road were very scarce, and Ye Tian never found any antique artworks that made him thrilled and worth getting off.
Unobstructed all the way!
11:30, Alabama is close at hand!
"Welcome to Sweet Home Alabama"
The big sign in front reads such a line, very eye-catching! You can see it from far away.
The long string of blinking warning lights west of the sign is even more conspicuous, as if to welcome everyone!
Seeing this scene, Ye Tian suddenly laughed.
The last part of the journey in Corridor 127 begins and he hope it will be equally exciting!
