Soul Painter

The news in the New York Times this morning cheered up the auction.

The rough headline read: "1,500,000,000!"

The content reads: "You think I'm talking about the population of a big country in the East, no, I'm describing the price a young painter gave his works, you read that right, and you counted it right, 1.5 billion dollars, this is this afternoon The starting bid for three bound works by the painter Govan at the upcoming Christie's Winter Auctions.

If you don’t know what this means, then the auction price of the most expensive work in the history of modern art is 450 million U.S. dollars. Is the painter Gao Fan worth the three “most expensive”? let us wait and see. "

The ironic title and content prove that the news circle is not optimistic that this auction can be sold. Although the painting "Buddha" is quite legendary, $1.5 billion is still too much. what to do.

Next, there will be more detailed content, reporting Gao Fan's life.

It's a bit strange to say 'biography', after all, this is just a 26-year-old young man. Although the beautiful country is used to showing all kinds of young heroes, for example, Zuckerberg founded Facebook when he was 20 years old, and he became a technology icon and the world's richest list On the road of permanent guest, there was Bill Gates before Zuckerberg, but before Gao Fan, there was nothing comparable to his predecessors. In the modern art circle of the 21st century, he is the most expensive and the only one.

The newspapers did not cause much sensation, perhaps because, recently, New Yorkers have grown tired of the name Gao Fan, so even such news cannot arouse their excitement.

Of course, for ordinary people, once the number of money exceeds tens of millions, they become that damn rich man. Others, there is not much concept, billions or billions, it sounds more shocking than tens of millions Bar.

...

The auction will be held in the afternoon.

Although Gao Fan's news seemed to make the public tired, some reporters still tried to catch some news when the auction started.

They first took photos of Gao Fan and his manager, and a young and beautiful oriental girl. Ana Armas was not there.

The agent seemed not in the mood to answer the reporters' questions, and hurriedly dragged the painter into the auction room.

The reporters thought this was the main event, but soon, a car with a diplomatic license plate was parked in front of the auction house, and then a female monk in gorgeous robes appeared, making the atmosphere immediately boil.

"It's Monk King!" A reporter called out.

All the reporters started to rush towards the most popular figure in the world's political arena, and a large number of security personnel who came with the car began to form a human wall to maintain order.

"Master Monk King! Are you here to participate in the auction? Are you here for the "Buddha"?" A reporter asked in a screaming voice.

Although the king of monks did not answer the question, her spokesperson, the Minister of Finance, stayed for a while and gave some answers, saying that the king of monks was indeed here for "Buddha", and the purpose was to bring this work back to the world. The real Buddhist country and so on, which made the reporters feel that today was not in vain.

Next, the reporters photographed some monks and some collectors who came to participate in the auction. These people seemed a bit ordinary. However, a reporter who understands fashion and luxury goods saw a collector checking the time The pocket watch is Patek Philippe's Henry Graves, worth 11 million US dollars.

As expected of collectors, they are really rich... The reporter sighed.

...

Luc Villier took out his pocket watch and glanced at the time. There are many mysterious functions in the most complicated pocket watch in the world. He twisted one of the tiny buttons to activate one of the most hidden functions. The mysterious one Gone.

Next, he walked into the auction house. He came alone. Because of the law of stranding, it is difficult for investigators to cooperate, especially among angels. So last time and this time, he had to face the S-level monk king alone. source of pollution.

In the auction house, Luc Villiers saw the Monk King sitting in the first row, the painter himself sitting in the last row, and STK's trainee investigator Immortal Cat, which was not beyond his expectation, but, In the middle one, he saw a blond lady with a sweet smile...

Miss Investigator? Luc Villiers' pupils constricted.

This blond lady is not Miss Investigator, but she represents Ms. Investigator. It may feel weird to say that, but it is true. Where the three ladies with blond hair, black hair and red hair are located, Miss Investigator's gaze is It will be there, and all secrets will be hidden.

This is a deterrent.

But it is not enough to stop Luc Villiers, his mysterious oath only prevents him from doing anything with "Buddha" and the painter during the exhibition. Now, the auction is about to start, and the longest definition of the exhibition is about to end. He will no longer be bound by the mystical oath.

Now, in this auction house.

An S-level pollution source, an A-level investigator, a second-generation god, an operator eyeliner, and a patron of the silver key, the mystery is so strong here that it has already bred a form that will become a disaster.

And the other ordinary humans who participated in this auction, although not aware of all this, still instinctively developed some nervousness. Of course, they only understood it as being too concerned about this auction.

...

This is going to explode...Gao Fan sat in the last row of the auction house. This is his usual position. It has been like this since he was in school, the so-called seat for scumbags.

Feeling the mysterious atmosphere in the auction hall, Gao Fan felt that it would be best to describe it with a gunpowder barrel. A little spark would be enough to detonate it. By then, the entire venue would be filled with blood, because most of the mysterious owners in this venue, They don't care about human life.

...

The auction begins.

In this auction, in addition to Gao Fan's works, Italian painter Modigliani's representative work "Side Reclining Woman", Mondrian's pinnacle work "Composition No. 3" and the famous American Pop artist Ann The oil painting "Chairman of MAO" created by Andy Warhol was also the focus of attention of many bidders.

Gao Fan was particularly interested in the painting "Chairman MAO".

Andy Warhol is one of the representatives of Pop Art.

Pop art, that is, POP Art, is to extract and enlarge the artistic elements in commercial posters, such as comic strips, fast food advertisements and trademarks, and turn them into creative themes.

This kind of painting theme flourished in the 1950s and 1960s in the beautiful country. It replaced the abstract art that the public could not appreciate. It can be regarded as the sound of the industrial age, and in the art field, the clarion call of the counterattack from business to art.

Andy Warhol has created a variety of character themes, including Marilyn Monroe, Coca-Cola, Einstein, the Empire State Building, etc. As an advocate and leader of Pop Art, he has painted almost all the five and six paintings of the beautiful country. Everything the pop factor of the decade.

Gao Fan liked the painting and planned to raise a placard for it.

But he has no cards.

His cards have been confiscated.

"I want this." Gao Fan pointed to "Chairman MAO" on the auction catalog and said to Lawrence.

Lawrence glanced at it and said, "Andy Warhol's works cost about 14 million US dollars, you can afford it, you can buy anything except the works of Demon School."

Hearing the sarcasm in Lawrence's tone, Gao Fan curled his lips: "Stingy."
