The collection value of a painting could be judged from two aspects. To paraphrase the naughty child's conclusion, the value of a work of art mainly depended on its intrinsic value, which could be divided into external gift and artistic gift.
It was no exaggeration to say that Wu Hai's works were top-notch in the field of artistic gift. Whether it was the use of light, brush strokes, or shadows, they were all very personal. Of course, these laymen could not see it.
However, those who were invited to Christie's auction, even if they were laymen, were accompanied by professionals.
Due to their own value, coupled with Zheng Jiawei's publicity, the value of the external gift was very high.
It could also be foreseen that the people on the stage were all going for the paintings, including the fat businessman who was muttering just now and the tall collector.
Bai Na, Feng Ti, Leeuwenhoek, and the well-known artists present also went up. They did not intend to buy, of course, because they could foresee that the price would be very high, and they could not afford it. Therefore, they planned to admire Wu Hai's paintings from a close distance.
"As expected of Eaves Wu. The standard of this painting is indeed higher than 'Monster Eating'. Such a large piece of work is the greatest test of the painter's layout ability." Bai Na could not wait to get closer to appreciate it, and his eyes showed obsession.
"What kind of creativity is this? With just this painting, Wu can be the best." Feng Ti also had an intoxicated expression on her face.
"This is really a masterpiece of the art world. It's really amazing. Why can't it be from our France?" A short artist shook his head and sighed.
"It is indeed an epoch-making masterpiece. There is a strange distortion here at the water's edge. This should be Salvador's painting method. Yes, this is Salvador's painting method. Oh my God, I really need to take a heart saving pill. Wu actually integrated surrealist painting methods into the painting. He is the real magician of the art world."
Maxi and Leeuwenhoek were also very excited. They originally thought that the previous' Monster Eating 'painting was already the peak of Wu Hai's current strength, but after seeing this magnificent Water Margin painting, they realized that their thinking was too naive. Wu still had a lot of room for improvement!
Salvador Dali is a famous Spanish surrealist painter, known as the magician of the painting world. His masterpiece Memory Eternal can be listed as one of the ten most famous paintings in the West.
This was not the exhibition of the Painting God's Hut. The few artists looked like they had a decent physique, but their figures were only relatively standard. They could not compete with the rich capitalists who went to the gym every day. Oh, no, they had gyms at home.
After watching for a few minutes, Maxi and the others were inexplicably squeezed out. After that, they couldn't squeeze in for a long time.
"I'd better go take a look at Yuan's sculpture first." Feng Ti squeezed for a long time, but still couldn't get a good look at the paintings. She was pushed away when she wasn't paying attention. She planned to look at Yuan Zhou's sculptures first.
Yuan Zhou's food had improved her appetite and vision in Huaxia, so she only ate some bread and milk after getting off the plane. She was still a little resentful about not being able to eat Yuan Zhou's dishes. Of course, Feng Ti was still looking forward to Yuan Zhou's sculptures. After all, she heard that the sculptures were made of food ingredients.
"I'll go take a look as well." Bai Na didn't squeeze in again.
Leeuwenhoek and Kemasi also couldn't do anything. They were old, and their fighting ability was even weaker than Feng Ti and the others.
It seemed that not everyone's body was the same as Wu Wu's. If the food made by Yuan Zhou was displayed here today, it would be useless for anyone to come in front of them.
Then —
"This is?!"
"I have to find my glasses. I want to wear them. No, I never wear glasses. I'm a little dizzy."
"Wu and Yuan are both geniuses. Now I deeply acknowledge them, just like how I acknowledge that I am my mother's biological son."
Everyone exclaimed.
Leeuwenhoek, the old man, was originally walking at the back. When he saw Yuan Zhou's sculptures, he couldn't wait to walk closer. There were only a few people at the exhibition table.
108 statues of different shapes and sizes were placed neatly in the glass enclosure. They were clearly placed there quietly, but because all the statues were basically moving, even if they were just placed there quietly, there would be a sense of urgency and liveliness.
The person holding the spear felt like it would stab him in the next second.
The person using the podao to block felt like it was blocking in front of him.
The person riding the horse and wielding the spear felt like he was charging as one with the horse.
The one who uprooted the willow could even more clearly feel the courage to split the heavens and the earth.
If Wu Hai's painting was vivid on the paper, then Yuan Zhou's sculpture was like a frozen real person.
"The reason why the discus thrower is called the world's three great sculptures is because of the ancient Greek sculptor Myron, who created the charm of 'drawing but not shooting'."
"Sculptures are a static art, but famous artists can do it. They can grasp the feeling of movement from static to dynamic, and Yuan's 108 sculptures are a perfect fit for this." Leeuwenhoek wished he could squeeze his big head into the glass cover.
"In the 20th century, there was a Rodin who created the world-shocking Thinker. I didn't expect that in the 21st century, there would be a great sculptor. Although there are still some small flaws overall, it is enough to shock the current stagnant sculpting world. Many of these 108 sculptures have carving skills that go against the market. This may have something to do with Yuan not being a professional sculptor, but a professional master chef."
Kemasi and Leeuwenhoek were both painters, but they had rich experience and knew a lot about sculpting.
"Everyone says that Head Chef Yuan's sculpting is good. I don't know much about it since I don't know how to cook. But now, I can feel it deeply," said Feng Ti.
"No wonder Wu's painting and Yuan's sculpture are being auctioned together. They complement each other and cannot be missing," said Bai Na.
Bai Na and Feng Ti didn't know as much as Kemasi and Kemasi, but for a work of art, a good work of art was a good work of art.
Zhou Xi was also there, but he was rather silent. His main purpose here was to see if the auction house was doing any under-the-table deals. Although Christie Auction House was a big brand, they wouldn't do that, but Zheng Jiawei had always been careful in doing things.
Of course, Zhou Xi couldn't tell if there was anything fishy, but he could record the auction and report it to Zheng Jiawei. Zheng Jiawei would be able to make a judgment.
The artists surrounded the booth as well. They looked like they couldn't get enough of it, which also attracted the attention of others.
The fat merchant and the tall man who had judged the sculptures as free gifts also noticed it.
"Um, what's going on over there?" the fat merchant asked curiously.
"They are making a fuss out of nothing," the collector expressed. What kind of sculpture hadn't he seen before?
Although he said that, it was impossible for him not to go over and take a look. The two of them also walked to the booth next door.
After all, they had seen most of the Outlaws of the Marsh. The fat merchant and the collector weren't the only ones who were smart. Many people came over as well.
Strictly speaking, when Yuan Zhou was sculpting these 108 sculptures, he used the knife technique "Three Beasts Perfection" that even the system thought was very brilliant. Moreover, Yuan Zhou had a high requirement for himself. It could be said to be a masterpiece in the early stage.
Therefore, the sculptures presented in front of people were naturally of high quality.
