- After seeing this picture of Li Keran herding cows in "Triples", Su Xiaoru glanced at Zhou Xia unconsciously, wanting to see what his opinion was, and whether he felt like she was being struck by lightning.
Unfortunately, she didn't see what she expected from Zhou Xia's expression. Zhou Xia was still as calm as water, not affected by the painting at all.
"This is unscientific!" Su Xiaoru secretly cursed. With Zhou Xia's memory, it was impossible to forget the work they had just discussed in the morning.
Su Xiaoru couldn't help but think about what was going on with him acting as if nothing had happened. Was he trying to give face to the old man? Still, even with the "twins" at auction, the cow herding picture could still be genuine.
But no matter what, the appearance of these multiple twins' calligraphy and painting works shows that there must be something fishy.
Although Su Xiaoru was extremely curious, she still resisted the urge to ask, followed the principles she had set before she came, looked more and asked less, and stood aside quietly to see how Zhou Xia and Xu Yaohui responded.
And the owner here, Lao Wang, truly transformed into a royal woman, boasting about himself and talking endlessly about the origins of the paintings in his hand. It was said that a certain collector from Donghai had trouble with his capital one day and had to reluctantly part with it. He just wanted to sell it as soon as possible and transferred it to him at a relatively low price.
Su Xiaoru remembered Zhou Xia and the others¡¯ advice and ignored such stories.
??In fact, it is indeed true. Unless it has a special background and is circulated in an orderly manner, which can be verified by big collectors in person, other origins can basically be ignored. The more exciting the story, the more likely it is a scam.
She only cares about the quality of these paintings.
As Zhou Xia said, this year is truly the Year of Li Keran. Taking advantage of the huge sales of Li Keran's works at the spring auction, Li Keran's works have become popular across the board. Works that were not often seen in the past have all appeared at once.
This situation is not only reflected in the transactions in the antique market at auctions, but also in the antique market. Here, Lao Wang immediately took out two pictures of a shepherd boy and a cow by Li Keran, which were the most popular among Li Keran's works.
There are deep-seated reasons for this. Li Keran¡¯s paintings of shepherd boys and cows are quite abundant in quantity, small in size, relatively moderate in price, and have considerable artistic value. It is not surprising that they are so popular in the market. Li Keran's red works worth over RMB 1 million are large in size and high in price. They generally only appear at auctions. Most of them are traded privately and are of other types with prices below RMB 1 million.
In addition to two pieces of Li Keran's Shepherd Boy and Cow, Lao Wang also produced a calligraphy work by Li Keran. His calligraphy works are not as popular as Shepherd Boy and Cow, and the price is also the lowest among all his works, but there are still considerable sales. Value, considerable collection potential and room for improvement.
In addition, Lao Wang also took out a blue stone painting signed by Pan Tianshou. Pan Tianshou was one of the Shanghai-style painters, and his works were quite popular in the East China Sea. Lao Wang also explained that such a work is the easiest to take out. If it weren't for the fact that he and Xu Yaohui have been together for a long time, he would definitely not take it out.
Su Xiaoru felt that such a scene was interesting at first, but after hearing him say it twice, she felt that it was not nutritious.
But Lao Wang still spoke quite sincerely, and even Xu Yaohui's response was quite heartfelt.
Su Xiaoru could only shake her head at this, saying that the emotions involved were too profound and complicated for her to understand.
This interpersonal relationship is really not as real as looking at calligraphy and painting works. If they are imitations, they are imitations, and the genuine ones are genuine. There won¡¯t be so many unclear things.
???????????????????????????????????????????????¡
Su Xiaoru quickly collected her thoughts and silently recited in her heart, "What you see on paper is shallow, but you know you have to do it. Even if it was just talking on paper in the morning, it will really be on the battlefield now!"
She saw that Zhou Xia's most concerned target was not the cow herding picture that they had discussed for a long time in the morning. He also did not mention that it had two twin brothers at the auction, as if he did not know about it.
What Zhou Xia is most concerned about is Li Keran's calligraphy work.
The knowledge is the spring moon of Guihai, which can be dyed.
The content is the running script of Li Bai's poem, "The White Emperor's Message to the Emperor is among the colorful clouds. Thousands of miles of rivers and mountains are returned in one day. The apes on both sides of the bank can't stop crying, and the light boat has passed the Ten Thousand Mountains."
Su Xiaoru practiced calligraphy for a long time when she was a child. In her opinion, this painting is quite tasteful. There are quite a lot of similarities with Li Keran's calligraphy that she had unexpectedly tutored in the morning. Anyway, with her writing power, she would never be able to copy a work of this level.But knowing this is not enough. When they were in school, the teacher taught them. What is the so-called appraisal? What is determination? Calligraphy and painting works are essentially arts and crafts, and cannot be judged solely from more perceptual aspects such as brushwork and style. To make an identification, we must start from materials science and trace science, combined with the objective existence left behind, and combine subjective and objective analysis.
"Otherwise, it's putting the cart before the horse."
She looked at Zhou Xia carefully, and the first thing he identified was not the subjective aspect like hers.
He started with the material and carefully observed the quality of the paper used. Since it was made in the spring month of Kuihai, that is, in the 1st year of Zhao, it has been thirty years ago, and whether it has the oxidation that should have been preserved for about thirty years. Color traces, whether the traces are natural, and whether there are any signs of artificial aging. Not only that, he also took out a high-power magnifying glass and observed carefully to see whether the pen and ink had penetrated into the paper, whether the blurring was natural, etc.
Only after carefully appraising these aspects, Zhou Xia began to take a closer look at the strokes, style, and artistic conception of this calligraphy work.
Su Xiaoru felt that she should really learn more from Zhou Xia. Be objective first, then subjective. In this way, you will be less susceptible to the influence of subjective emotions, so you can make the most objective appraisal results. If you make a subjective appraisal first and have preconceptions, it will be difficult not to be affected.
Of course, Zhou Xia's behavior of relatively confusing calligraphy and painting appraisals also made onlookers and shop owner Comrade Lao Wang despise him from the bottom of his heart. He rarely saw an expert in calligraphy and painting appraisals who rushed to use a magnifying glass as soon as they arrived. He felt that the two young staff officers hired by Xu Yaohui were not reliable. But this is what he most hopes to see. If he is really a master in the industry, there will be no room for him to fish in troubled waters.
"After Zhou Xia appraised this calligraphy work, he still looked indifferent. There was no sadness or joy on his face, and it was impossible to tell what his true judgment was in his heart. Lao Wang couldn't help complaining about him in his heart, this little
He is really good at pretending to be a ghost. No wonder Xu Yaohui fell into his trap.
Su Xiaoru then held up the running script of the mushroom white poem, imitating Zhou Xia's example, and began to evaluate it carefully. Although she was eager to know the results of Zhou Xia's final appraisal, she did not ask on the spot. This was also a good opportunity to test her eyesight. When the time comes, she will compare her own appraisal results with those of Zhou Xia and others, and then she will know what her current level is.
Su Xiaoru also spent more energy on the identification of materials. She felt like there were bones inside an egg.
Even the highest-quality imitations cannot be exactly the same as the originals. She firmly believes that as long as you work hard, you can always find flaws. If it is genuine, the most tangible evidence can be found.
Su Xiaoru took a magnifying glass and looked around for careful identification. The final result was that, as far as she knew, this painting should be an authentic work by Li Keran.
Of course, when doing appraisals now, valuation is inevitable. Especially in a collecting environment like China, most people don't really like collecting, but do it for investment and making money. The value is what everyone pays most attention to.
If Su Xiaoru wants to become a qualified appraiser, this valuation is something she must firmly grasp. She felt that it would be better to have a relatively conservative valuation. Although the person who sent the appraisal was very happy at the high price, when he faced the harsh market, this happiness would soon be thrown out the window. , and also scolded the appraiser for making a mistake.
Su Xiaoru estimated that if such a calligraphy work was genuine, this year when Li Keran's various works are all in great demand, the price should not be less than 250,000.
At this time, it cannot be measured by the transaction price at the auction.
The final transaction price at the auction basically represents the highest price for similar works in the current market. This transaction price includes the commission charged by the auction house. Although the price that the buyer has to pay is high, the price that the auction seller can get is much smaller than the transaction price.
If the hammer price is one million, plus the commission that the buyer needs to pay in the end, which is the final transaction price that everyone can find, it is probably around 1.15 million. In addition to paying various fees such as catalog fees, the seller also has to pay the auction house a commission ranging from 10% of the hammer price. The final amount received is less than 900,000.
Therefore, even if you want to use auction prices to appraise a lot with a hammer price of one million, for similar collections, the final highest estimate given by appraisers is more than 800,000, but often, this price still remains. It¡¯s better to dive a lot.
Because it was auctioned, it can be said that it represents the highest price on the market for the same collection.
If the appraiser gives you?When it comes to the valuation of collections, it can cost millions if you open your mouth, or tens of millions if you keep silent. It is best to be vigilant, especially some well-known appraisers. They charge based on a percentage of the market valuation. The higher the valuation, the less their income. more.
While Su Xiaoru was thinking about these things secretly here, Zhou Xia had already finished appraising the cow herding picture they had discussed all morning.
After Su Xiaoru got the appraisal results, she didn't waste much time. She learned from the conversation between Xu Yaohui and Zhou Xia that they wouldn't just look at the things in Lao Wang's house in the afternoon. Time was limited and they couldn't waste them all on unnecessary appraisals.
Of course, if Su Xiaoru wants to check information at this time, it is okay, but she can only use her mobile phone to check online, and the effect will not be very good. Therefore, she mainly relies on the information accumulated in her mind.
Since she had done some research on this picture of cattle herding, Su Xiaoru was also full of expectations. She thought that not only would she be able to identify the authenticity as soon as she came out, but at the very least, she would be able to find some flaws.
She spent the whole morning at Zhou Xia's house playing "Let's find fault".
But when she actually got started, Su Xiaoru discovered that things were not as simple as she imagined.
When the picture of cattle herding that Lao Wang took out was actually displayed in front of her, Su Xiaoru realized that the two pictures she saw in the catalog were extremely weak in comparison!
Although she tried hard to recall the details of the twins, all she could think of was the feeling this painting gave her. She also had a feeling that this painting was indeed the kind of charm of Li Keran shepherd boy and cow, lively and cute. A boy, a carefree old cow, even every stroke of his painting seemed to her to be particularly flavorful.
"The soul is weak, the real thing is really not comparable to the photos!" Su Xiaoru sighed in her heart.
¡°But she saw that Zhou Xia didn¡¯t express much of his position. He still repeated his monotonous and persistent steps, looking for trouble carefully with a high-power magnifying glass.
Su Xiaoru then realized that Zhou Xia did not stay in this painting for long, even shorter than the calligraphy work of Li Keran just now. What does this mean?
Su Xiaoru quickly used her brain to guess whether Zhou Xia was optimistic about this picture or not, but when she thought about it carefully, it seemed possible, because he had already studied it all morning!
"Forget it." Su Xiaoru quickly made a decision, "Instead of guessing what kind of appraisal Senior Brother Zhou will do, it is better to do the appraisal honestly. Anyway, this trip is here to learn, even if the appraisal is wrong, it is nothing."
Although she comforted herself in this way, she still hoped that the identification results would be consistent with Zhou Xia. If you want the identification results to be consistent, you must think carefully from all aspects. In the morning, the two mainly compared and analyzed the style, brushwork, outline, coloring, layering and other aspects of this painting of cattle, but there was no way to compare it. After all, judging the material of the paper and ink is based on looking at the photos, so there is considerable uncertainty.
¡°And Zhou Xia specifically mentioned before that what Lao Wang took out was definitely not a licensed product. If it's not the real thing, it's definitely a very high-level imitation, with all the details in place. It's really the kind of high-end imitation that can look like the real thing.
Su Xiaoru felt that the previous calligraphy by Li Keran was genuine and felt no psychological burden.
But although Su Xiaoru has not found any obvious shortcomings in this picture of cattle herding so far, she still has some hesitation deep down in her heart.
After all, the twins who appeared at the auction had a great impact on her.
She couldn¡¯t help but think that what she saw this morning were just photos. The two paintings at the auction might be even more stunning in real form than this!
And the appraisers of the two auction houses, whether in terms of experience or knowledge, are definitely much better than her, a newbie who just joined the industry. Should she trust them or trust herself? Su Xiaoru was very confused and made her undecided.
If you can¡¯t tell whether it¡¯s genuine or not, let¡¯s not talk about valuation.
