Capítulo 437: Chapter 437: Miracle
The "Impressionism and Modern Art" auction is about to end.
The auction of the last lot, "The Boy in the Red Vest" has reached the final stage and the result is about to be released!
Just like the scene at the previous auction of "Mont Sainte-Victoire", "The Boy in the Red Vest" is now on the display stand for everyone to enjoy.
The detailed pictures of this oil painting and other related information are simultaneously displayed on the big screen, which is very detailed enough to give people a more comprehensive understanding of this top oil painting.
On the auction stage, an FBI armed secret service and a Sotheby's armed security guard stood on both sides of the display stand, guarding this top-level oil painting with great vigilance.
The rest of the security personnel in the hall are also on high alert, staring at the top oil paintings on the auction stage, as well as the large number of bidders on the spot, ready to respond at any time.
All the bidders on the scene stood on the spot, excitedly watching the exciting and extremely fierce price fight being staged in front of them, fascinated!
Although this has nothing to do with most people, they are just bystanders!
Exclamations, applause and discussions continued to sound in the auction hall and the sound was louder than ever and it almost lifted the ceiling here!
Everyone's eyes lighted with excitement, staring at everything that happened before them, not letting go of any detail.
They are witnessing history, witnessing a rare miracle in the history of world art auctions! Everyone in the auction hall is very convinced of this.
The difference is that John's price quoted aloud is different! The competitors are the same! The intensity of bidding is also same!
The auction price of this "The Boy in the Red Vest" is higher, there are more competitors in the final stage and the competition between each other is more intense!
At this time, the asking price of "The Boy in the Red Vest" has reached 182 million U.S. dollars, surpassing "Mont Sainte-Victoire" and successfully ranked third in the world's art auction history!
There are only three contenders for this top oil painting, each of which is extremely powerful!
The richest man in Mexico, Carlos Slim; the largest buyer in the world's top art market, the royal family of Qatar; and a mysterious buyer who bid by phone! It must have an extraordinary origin!
After a round of enthusiastic applause, there was a lot of discussion in the auction hall.
Everyone was enthusiastic and enthusiastic discussing what was happening before them.
"This special sale is too exaggerated! The two top oil paintings, the third and fourth in art auction history, appeared in the same auction! They belonged to the same person! It was incredible!"
"If I hadn't witnessed it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it would happen if I was killed! It's like a fantasy! But it's a fact. Steven's bastard is definitely the darling of God! No doubt!
Standing in the first row of the auction hall, Ye Tian and Jason, their excited faces flushed, their eyes shining straight, staring at the situation on the auction stage, their eyelids reluctant to blink!
They were also whispering, eyebrows flying all over the sky!
"Steven, can this "The Boy in the Red Vest" surpass "The Card Players" and take the second place in the world's art auction history?
Or one step further, can it surpass Gauguin's "When Will You Marry?" and win the world's number one throne? If it can, it would be perfect!"
Jason asked excitedly and nervously, this kid is obviously very ambitious!
The price has soared to this point and the world's number one throne is not unpredictable. It is indeed the most perfect result!
Although this oil painting does not belong to Jason, he isn't also different from him!
"I don't know, I'm very satisfied with the current price! What's the next price trend, just let it go! Of course, I also hope to get even greater surprises!"
Ye Tian smiled and said in a low voice, rare to be humble!
Indeed, for the auction results and process of these two top oil paintings, he is already satisfied and can no longer be satisfied! Don't dare to ask for more!
The price sold just now has exceeded his expectation by more than double!
Moreover, "The Boy in the Red Vest" has not yet been sold. The price is still rising continuously and it is still creating even greater miracles. Everything is possible!
What he can do now is to enjoy the joy of success, wait for the moment when the hammer is closed and then he can cheer and celebrate!
"No. 203 was offered for 182 million U.S. dollars. A mysterious buyer from the telephone bidding. The current price is 187 million U.S. dollars, 187 million. That lady or gentleman responds ?..."
John raised his hand and gestured towards the telephone bidding side and continued to shout passionately.
At this time, his eyes were only staring in two directions and he didn't pay attention to other places at all.
One is the location of Carlos's Art Collection Advisor and the other is the direction of Prince Hassan and Princess Al-Mayassa.
There are only two competitors left on the spot and the other competitors have been cleared out!
Carlos' art collection consultant shook his head with a chuckle, put away the bidding number plate and announced that he had withdrawn from the competition!
Obviously, the richest man in Mexico is satisfied with receiving a "Mont Sainte-Victoire" and did not intend to catch the two top oil paintings in one go and collect them all!
Seeing that the most threatening competitor withdrew, Princess Al-Mayassa couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Then, she immediately whispered to Prince Hassan:
"Hassan, the bidding price is 190 million US dollars. There is only one opponent left. We must win this top oil painting. We must not lose to the guy who bids on the phone!
I don't know who this guy is? Bernard in France? Or Abramovich of Russia? Or a super rich man in China? No matter who it is, he will go to home with nothing today! "
"Yes! This top oil painting belongs to our royal family of Qatar! No one can steal it!"
Hassan replied in a deep voice, his tone extremely confident!
Immediately afterwards, he immediately raised the bidding number plate in his hand and shouted:
"190 million dollars, John!"
"Papa...Papa"
The applause sounded again, warm and lasting.
Following this, there were exclamations all over the audience!
"Wow! It's about to break through 200 million US dollars, this is a certainty!"
"Over 200 million US dollars of art, only two have appeared at auction before. There is no doubt that the third one will appear today. This is a crazy day!"
As they might expect, "The Boy in theRed Vest" soon broke through the $200 million moat and jumped to a higher level!
It was the mysterious buyer who bid by phone to bid for the price!
When the bid of 200 million US dollars came, the auction hall immediately burst into applause like a tsunami, as hot and hot as a volcanic eruption!
At the same time, there were countless cheers.
Many people in the auction hall burst into bright smiles! All celebrating!
Everyone is celebrating that they have witnessed the miracle in auction history and experienced the great charm of art! Many people even have sigh! Thank you for being on the scene!
Of course, the craziest and most presumptuous celebration is the owner of this top oil painting, Ye Tian!
He and Jason first gave a loud volley high-five and then burst into laughter. The laughter was so hearty that many people at the scene were envious of their eyes flushed and they wanted to replace him!
200 million US dollars of top art! There are only three in the history of world art auctions!
Even if they include private art transactions, such as Kooning's "Interchange" worth $300 million, Pollock's "Number 17A" worth $200 million and so on, there are no more than 10 transactions over $200 million.
Without exception, these artworks are all made by the top artists and they are well-deserved top artworks. They deserve the warmest applause and the most sincere cheers!
The applause and cheers soon fell, and the competition continued.
The auction price of "The Boy in the Red Vest" is still rising rapidly, unstoppable!
Everyone is looking forward to the miracles that will continue to be staged and looking forward to this top oil painting going forward bravely, breaking through the two mountains in front of it in one fell swoop and winning the world's number one throne in auction history!
However, not everything can be achieved! Everyone's expectations fell through!
When the price of this oil painting soared to 255 million US dollars, the mysterious buyer of the telephone bidding began to hesitate, without giving instructions for a long time.
In the end, he chose to give up and withdrew from this exciting and fierce competition!
The Sotheby's staff who answered the phone shook his head slightly and announced the end of the auction.
"Hey--!"
There was a sigh in the auction hall. Everyone was sighing for not being able to do so. The miracle could not continue and it stopped!
Regret lasted just moments!
In a blink of an eye, everyone realized that they were very lucky to have witnessed a great, almost impossible to replicate miracle in the history of world art auctions!
In an art auction, two top oil paintings were shot, one for US$180 million and the other for US$255 million! Ranked third and fourth in auction history! This is a miracle!
And these two top oil paintings are by the same artist and they are the works of Paul Cézanne, a French master of post-impressionism!
According to the latest world art auction transaction records, three of the top five artworks are all his oil paintings. This is incredible!
There is no doubt that Paul Cézanne is now the world's top artist with the most market appeal!
Regarding this point, the market has already given the best answer, and no one can doubt it!
More importantly, these two top artworks belong to the same person and both belong to the crazy guy Steven!
Although these two oil paintings are only ranked three or four in art auction records, their combined total price is as high as 435 million US dollars, which is a well-deserved auction history in the world!
Of course, there is still a slight gap between this and hedge fund manager Griffin's $500 million art transaction, but it is a private transaction and is not comparable!
435 million dollars! What a fortune! It has been determined to belong to Steven that bastard!
Thinking of this, everyone in the auction hall couldn't help looking at the first row, at the extremely lucky guy!
Everyone's eyes are full of envy and jealousy and many eyes are already red!
Ye Tian, who was in the focus of people's sight, first nodded to Prince Hassan and Princess Al-Mayassa and then began to celebrate!
"Awesome! 435 million dollars, I love Paul Cezanne! I love the royal family of Qatar! I love this damn dollar! I love this perfect day! It's so cool!"
Ye Tian raised his arms and cheered, his voice resounding throughout the auction hall.
Fortunately, no one understands the Chinese that he speaks. What's more, what does it matter if they don't understand it?
Everyone can clearly feel his excitement from his incomparably public movements and expressions, as well as his brilliant smile, but it is a pity that that person is not them!
Jason, who was standing next to him, hadn't recovered yet, he was still immersed in the huge shock brought by 255 million US dollars, his face was dull and his eyes were full of incredible and crazy colors!
"Papa...Papa"
The applause rang out like a storm, and it swept across the auction hall in an instant.
The auction process had to be temporarily interrupted. John couldn't find the opportunity to sell the hammer. The scene was too hot and noisy and his voice was completely submerged!
It wasn't until two or three minutes later that the auction hall became a little quieter.
The voice of John's countdown came immediately, with a little vibrato, into everyone's ears.
"The first time of 260 million US dollars, the second time, Sold! 255 million US dollars of transactions! The winning bidder is Princess Al-Mayassa of the royal family of Qatar. Congratulations to Princess Al-Mayassa and congratulations to Mr. Steven!"
While announcing the result loudly, John stretched out his hand and gestured towards Princess Al-Mayassa, then nodded at Ye Tian, his eyes filled with gratitude and envy!
Then, the auction mallet in his hand fell immediately.
"boom!"
The final word!
