234 record breaking
After fifty rounds of bidding, the price of "Pine Eagle Map" has exceeded 100 million Hong Kong dollars, but the number of people who are still participating in the auction is still more than ten. It seems that the price of "Pine Eagle Map" still has great room for improvement.???
The current price is far beyond the world auction record of living painters in China!
Many people have predicted this result before the auction. Now it has become a reality. Although it makes people happy, it is not shocking.
However, the price of "Pine Eagle Picture" is still rising rapidly, and the auctions on site are still hot, so there should be a lot of room for growth. Is this "Pine Eagle Picture" actually approaching or even more the world auction record of a single work by a living painter?
Although this speculation is a bit crazy, based on the current situation, it is indeed very likely that it will become a reality.
The world auction record of single works by living painters was created by American painter Crow Lewis in 1995. His oil painting "The Sleeping Girl" was sold at an astonishing price of 2.15 million US dollars.
Crow Lewis was born in Berlin. During the Nazi period, their family escaped from Germany and became American citizen.
Louis's works before he was twenty years old were almost all intuitive materials obtained by observation. Perhaps it was because of his introverted personality in childhood, or perhaps it was because of his sensitivity to reality, and his paintings looked full of gloom and horror.
After the 1960s, he moved away from the noisy international art trend and began to explore the depth of his field, drawing works that were as large as real people or larger than real people.
Louis's paintings are known for his strong visual art, especially nude and body painting. His girlfriend, daughter and dog were once displayed on his canvas. The oil painting "The Alices" he created in 1987, just sold an amazingly high price of $1.98 million at this year's Christie's Spring Auction.
Guests who had no strength to compete were excited to see the auction price of "Pine Eagle Picture" rising rapidly. Maybe they would be witnesses of a miracle. If this miracle could be realized with their own eyes, it would definitely be an unforgettable experience.
Lan Tianyu accompanied Mr. Wan in the center of the front row. When he saw the price of "Pine Eagle Picture" exceeding HK$100 million, he was also very excited. He is only twenty-two years old now and has achieved such amazing achievements in the painting world. It is indeed something worthy of pride.
Mr. Wan was also extremely excited. As a teacher of Lantianyu, he was naturally proud to see his students achieve such extraordinary achievements. What is even more rare is that "Pine Eagle Picture" is a pure Chinese painting, but it has been praised and affirmed by artists all over the world. This is what he is most happy about.
The friends of Lantianyu are also proud of him. Before they bid, the price of "Pine Eagle Picture" is already so amazing, which fully demonstrates the guests present's obsession and love for this painting.
After the price was 150 million, five more buyers had no choice but to give up the competition because of insufficient financial resources. The guests present thought that the last moment was coming, but they did not expect that when the results were about to appear, seven or eight more guests raised their bids to bid. The competition not only did not ease at all, but became more intense.
Among the guests who just participated in the bidding were Prince Asud, Zhao Wenhai, Xie Huajie, and auction agents of the Louvre Museum and the Metropolitan Museum. With the strong participation of these new forces, the price of "Pine Eagle Picture" quickly exceeded 160 million yuan!
The exchange rate between the Hong Kong dollar and the US dollar is approximately 8.1:1, with HK$160 million plus a commission of 1o%, and the transaction price is equivalent to US$21.73 million.
This number represents the blue sky rain "Pine Eagle Picture", which has broken the world's highest auction record for a single work created by American painter Crow Lewis and a living painter!
A 22-year-old young man from the East broke this world record that had been covered by three years. This is shocking news for the global art world!
This is even more true for the Chinese art world.
Mr. Wan, Fan Qingfeng, President Liang, Zhao Wenhai, and Xie Huajie were all happy and proud of the great achievements of Lantianyu. 1 The auctioneer also announced excitedly: "As the auctioneer of this auction, I feel very honored! Master Lantianyu's "Pine Eagle Picture" is now a bid of HK$160 million, equivalent to a transaction price of US$21.73 million. This price has set the world's highest auction record for a single work by living painters! I feel very honored to witness the birth of this miracle. Let us congratulate Master Lan!"
The guests in the venue were both excited and excited to witness the birth of this miracle.
"Pine Eagle Picture" has set a new record. After today, it will surely become famous all over the world with the fastest degree. This means that the future appreciation potential of this painting has added another weight.
After this good news appeared, the price of "Pine Eagle Picture" soared, and soon exceeded the 200 million Hong Kong dollar mark.
After breaking through the 200 million mark, only five guests are still holding signs.
Two of them are Lan Tianyu's friends Prince Asud and Zhao Wenhai, the other two are agents of the Louvre Museum and the Metropolitan Museum, and the other is an unidentified agent.
After the price exceeded 220 million, the Louvre Museum gave up the competition. After some consideration, Zhao Wenhai also gave up on continuing to bid.
The only three guests who are still bidding are still there.
When the price rose to 230 million, Prince Asud also gave up on the competition.
According to Prince Asud's original intention, the appreciation potential of "Pine Eagle Picture" is too great, and it is a work that he likes very much, so he should be auctioned at any cost. However, from the perspective of a friend, Lan Tianyu has given him a work. If this work falls into his hands, it will be a very unfavorable thing to promote Lan Tianyu's fame.
The best result is that the Metropolitan Museum can bid for this work, allowing more people to appreciate it with their own eyes. This is the most beneficial for further increasing the world popularity of the blue sky rain.
Since Asud regarded himself as a friend of Lantianyu, he finally gave up the final battle after some help.
After six rounds of bidding, the Metropolitan Museum of China finally made the bid the most resolute, and the "Pine Eagle Picture" was shot, and the final hammer price was HK$243 million!
Chapter completed!
