"Seventy-five thousand."
Andre was a little surprised. Dave Clark called out such a price. On the one hand, he was slightly happy because his artistic taste was recognized, and he could also help charity, which would be great; on the other hand However, he was slightly unhappy because of his rejection and disgust for Dave. He always felt that when his art was in Dave's hands, it was like a cabbage being arched by a pig.
But... this is the auction, and it's for charity, what else can he do?
"Eighty thousand." Immediately afterwards, Renly's voice came from his ear,
Andre raised his eyebrows slightly, cast a glance at Renly, and said with his eyes, "Is it started now?" Are they deliberately driving up the price to fool Dave Clark?
Renly gave Andre a meaningful smile, noncommittal, and Andre couldn't understand the mysterious expression.
After Renly made the bid, several other competitors appeared on the scene, and successively raised the price to 88,000 pounds, so the price has far exceeded the market price estimate. The collection value of Philip Gaston’s works has not reached that high, and Andre’s position in the aristocratic circle is not as good as that of Alexander. The current price is more or less unexpected, which has far exceeded expectations.
But Howard, who was in charge of the auction, didn't want the price to stay here. He cast his gaze towards Renly, "90,000, is anyone willing to bid?"
In fact, he was asking for Renly's opinion, but Renly held up the sign with a smile, "Ninety-five thousand."
Howard's eyes condensed, and he was very satisfied with the price. He shouted unanimously, "On the 14th, there is a bid of 95,000. Is there anyone else bidding?"
Dave, who was not far away, glanced at Renly out of the corner of his eyes, and then raised his sign again, "One hundred thousand."
There was no breathing room, and without even waiting for Howard to speak, Renly raised his placard, "150,000."
heh!
A lot of eyes were cast on the auction site: not because of the price itself, but because of Renly's neatness. Previously, it was slowly climbing from 5,000 to 100,000, and now it is rising in one go 50%, this is a bit exaggerated. Does Renly really like this painting so much? still……
His eyes sparsely fell on Dave.
Although Dave still showed a decent and generous smile, the slightly stiff jaw curve still revealed his depression - Renly's quick knife cut the mess is definitely fast enough and hateful enough, and he cut off everything unreasonably. Maybe, 150,000 pounds is not something he can't afford, but it's unnecessary. After all, the competition in the charity auction is not those precious works of art that will last forever, so there is no need for him to be so preoccupied with it.
Dave could only secretly curse and say "idiot" in his heart, despising Renly's profligate spending in order to do a face-saving project.
Don't talk about Dave, Andre was also a little surprised, and couldn't help but approach Renly, "Even if it's to eliminate Dave, there's no need to spend so much, right?"
"When you're lying, pay attention to the smile in your eyes." Lan Li complained with a smile, and Andre laughed twice, but didn't refute.
Many eyes around Renly also cast their eyes towards Renly, envy some, contempt some, disdain some, congratulate some... From the perspective of charity auction, this is a good thing, and more money has been raised; but from the perspective of charity auction From the perspective of art, whether the premium is serious or not is a matter of opinion.
Contributing to charity is a kind of heart and mind. For aristocrats, fame cannot be measured by numbers. This 150,000 pounds is also a debut for Renly's strong return to London. The subsequent value is far more than The energy and meaning of digital surfaces: But at the level of Dave Clark and David Beckham, it is inevitable that good things will require more measurement, and they will not understand Renly.
As a result, many people began to complain, "Renly's artistic taste is nothing but the same."
But few people expected that five years later, Philip Gaston's reputation in the industry has become more and more high, and the collection value of his works has risen, and then this "window" will reappear in the late autumn of Sotheby's auction house in New York. Above the auction, the estimated price before the auction was 600,000 US dollars, but it was finally sold at a price of 4 million US dollars, which became one of the most eye-catching focuses of the night and caused countless discussions.
From £150,000 to $4 million, it goes without saying what Renly's artistic taste is.
The focus is back on auctions.
Renly's generosity and forthrightness undoubtedly made a good start for the second stage of the charity auction. Alexander also gave his applause to Renly, and his smile was inevitably a little helpless - he originally planned to let others contribute well. Powerful, but how did Renly become active now?
Thanks to Renly's decisive action, the subsequent auctions were also enthusiastic, and the transaction amount exceeded expectations:
Two items were auctioned for a high price of £80,000, three items were sold for between £40,000 and £60,000, and two other items were also sold for more than £20,000... Active bids And the high transaction price, this has undoubtedly brought the specifications of the auction into a new stage, and the entire atmosphere has become different. The elites are afraid of falling behind, and they have begun to show their generosity.
"The next auction item, this is the last and most important auction item in the second stage of today's auction.
. The buyer's identity is temporarily kept secret. When the transaction is confirmed, we will announce the special guest and surprise. But I believe that this auction item alone deserves the attention of every guest. "
Rarely, there was a slight commotion in the entire venue—
You must know that everyone present is a well-known elite, not an ordinary citizen who has never seen the world. In such a public occasion, they all know how to suppress their gossip and show enough courtesy and demeanor to avoid embarrassment. It is visible, but at this moment it is completely uncontrollable.
In this auction, the most high-profile and most collectible item is the next one. Through the auction manual, they have already learned about it, and there are even many guests who have made a special trip to bid for this item. For those who attended the event, the level of attention was extraordinary.
"...'The Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty made a rectangular snuff bottle with an enamel painting on an enamel lady's body." This work was made by the imperial court of the Qianlong period. There are currently two examples of the same in the Palace Museum in Beijing/Beijing and Taipei. The Palace Museum. The two sides of this snuff bottle are painted with carmine red finely painted Western landscapes, and its brushstrokes draw lessons from Western sketching methods. The composition, light and shade can also be seen as influenced by Western paintings. It is a rare masterpiece that integrates Eastern and Western artistic styles. "
Howard's introduction made all the guests at the scene firmly focus on the slides on the projection wall.
Andre looked at Renly with a sad face, "Why did you take this out?"
Although anonymous, Andre recognized the owner of the snuff bottle at a glance: Renly Hall. This is an antique that Renly bought in high school. Andre liked it very much. He tried to ask Renly for it several times, but all of them were unsuccessful. Unexpectedly, Renly donated to the charity auction.
This is a work that is not inferior to the art auction market, but for charity auctions, it is a bit too precious——
Sotheby's auction house has carried out verification and identification, and the final estimate is 300,000 pounds!
But Renly sincerely hoped to make some contributions to charity, rather than simply using this occasion to announce his return, so Renly asked Alexander for his opinion, and finally chose to donate it, which became the whole charity One of the core publicity focuses of the auction.
The most important thing is that the guests present are either nobles or rich people. For them, a mere 300,000 pounds is not a figure that exceeds expectations. Using snuff bottles as a competitive product can also improve the specifications and grades of the entire auction. Several steps, this is undoubtedly a win-win option.
Compared with Andre's embarrassment, Renly is very open, "If you haven't photographed it, I still have a few collections at home, you can choose one at will."
"Really?" Andre couldn't help but jumped up in excitement - Renly's art collection is not much, but it's fine, and it's not market value-oriented, it's more a reflection of Renly's personal taste and aesthetics. But that's exactly the case, and Andre likes it more, because Renly's artistic taste can always make people's eyes shine. Compared with the mainstream of the market and the collection value, Andre is more inclined to Renly's choice. .
In addition to the "window", Renly's "Follow your orders, Captain" at the opening auction, and then the market valuation also soared to around 200,000 pounds.
Simply put, Renly is not a follower, but an advocate. Andre has coveted Renly's collection for a long time.
Not to mention Andre's surprise, before he spoke, Howard officially announced the start of the auction.
"Fifty thousand pounds is the base price, with an increase of one thousand pounds each time."
In an instant, the audience raised a piece of arms in a hurry, and the price soared to 90,000 pounds, but there was still no sign of stopping. Within 30 seconds, it broke through 100,000 pounds, easily It only slowed down a bit after the land exceeded the previous highest transaction price of fifteen pounds.
But only a little bit.
Competitors who held the field in the early stage have put down their brands. The real competitors are still competing, while the top competitors are watching the changes and waiting for the opportunity. The price has successfully exceeded 200,000 pounds in the back and forth, and the rate of increase has not stopped, one after another is overwhelming.
"230,000." Eaton also raised his sign and joined the competition. Andre couldn't help but glared at Eaton with a gloomy face: Are you also going to compete with me?
