Chapter 236
Ye Feng waved his hand, pointed at the"Death of Venus" at the back and said to Powers:
"Mr. Bowles, what do you think of this statue?"
Bowles stroked his chin with one hand, looking at the sculpture in front of him, his eyes shining:
"Masterpiece!"
"An absolute masterpiece!"
Then he suddenly turned around and asked:
"Is this the work of Master Kulvich?"
Ye Feng smiled but said nothing.
Instead, Kulvich said with a smile:
""Boles, you've made a mistake. This is the work of my student Nicholas!"
Boles looked as if he had realized it."I was wondering if Master Kulwich would no longer carve Greek gods."……"
Kulwich asked back:
"Isn't this work of Nicholas worthy of being a masterpiece?"
Bowles said quickly:
"Of course it is a masterpiece, I just think there are not many people in the sculpture world who can carve this work. For a moment, I didn't expect the young Master Nicola!"
"Then I wonder why Master Nicholas did not exhibit this work?"
"I have seen works outside, and none of them are as good as this one."
Nicholas replied:
"This work is no longer mine! Of course it cannot be exhibited!"
Boers looked puzzled, but he immediately reacted and turned to look at Ye Feng:
"Mr. Ye Feng, has this work already belonged to you?"
Ye Feng was a little speechless. This Bowers was so damn slow in his reaction...
Did I call you here to let you appreciate the art work?
You are a businessman, okay... Really...
He rolled his eyes and nodded, then gathered his spirits and said:
"Yes, this"Death of Venus" is the work I want to entrust you to auction tomorrow!"
"I think it should be OK!"
Bowles said:
"《The Death of Venus? Indeed, this work is absolutely outstanding. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the most outstanding sculpture I have seen in recent years!"
"After today's solo exhibition, Master Nicola's fame will rise several levels tomorrow. There should be many collectors who will choose to collect Master Nicola's works!"
Ye Feng nodded and said:
"In addition, I have a few small pieces of Master Kulwich and a manuscript, which I will also auction for you!"
Bowles said in surprise:
"Master Kulvich's manuscript?"
Ye Feng said:
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
Bowers looked at Kulwich and asked:
"Master, why are you auctioning off even the manuscripts?"
Kulwich didn't say anything. Bowles looked at Ye Feng and said:
"The manuscripts of some masters are as valuable as their works, such as Leonardo da Vinci's manuscripts, which are now priceless!"
"There are only a handful of Master Kulvich's manuscripts. Now there is only one manuscript on the market that has been verified by Master Kulvich."
"In addition to being a master of sculpture, Master Kulvić also had a high level of painting attainments. His manuscripts themselves are masterpieces."
"I have seen the line drawing of Master Kulvich's"The Abyss of the Gods", which is a work of extremely high artistic value!"
Ye Feng suddenly realized that a master is a master, and even the scraps outside his left side are worth collecting.
But he didn't care about these, and said calmly:
"Do you want it or not?"
Bowles said quickly:
"Yes, of course. I'll come over in a moment and ask someone to move this thing to the west hall!"
"Oh, and I still have to sign an agreement with Mr. Ye Feng! Please wait, I'll be there soon!"
After saying that, he apologized to Master Kulwich and others and left in a hurry.
As Bowles walked on the road, he took out a handkerchief from his suit pocket and wiped his forehead.
His mind was full of doubts. Who was this young Chinese man?
He had such a good relationship with the two sculpture masters!
And it was obvious that Nicholas was absolutely centered on Ye Feng. His eyes were on Ye Feng during several conversations, and it was obvious that Ye Feng was the main focus.
And the manuscripts and small pieces of Master Kulwich were not something that people with ordinary relationships could get. The small pieces were okay, and there were some circulating in the outside world.
But the manuscripts, Bowles could be sure, were 100% from Master Kulwich himself. I gave it to Ye Feng myself!
He couldn't help but feel fortunate that he had approached Ye Feng on a whim yesterday, otherwise he would have missed such a big Buddha. Yesterday, as a businessman, he subconsciously wanted to make friends with potential customers, but he didn't expect that it would bring him such a big surprise!
Ye Feng and his friends were waiting for Bowles in the workshop. During this time, Master Kulwich's assistant also brought over the things he had prepared.
Ye Feng saw that the master was a master. Even the small pieces were all ingeniously conceived and the knifework was outstanding!
As for the manuscript, it looked like an unfinished painting, but the completed part was already quite amazing!
Ye Feng was very satisfied and thanked him quickly.
Kulwich said:
"Don't thank me, we are close friends now, just go back to your farm and send me some of those magical black truffles you mentioned!"
Ye Feng said with a smile:
"Needless to say, I sent some black truffles to you last night. I believe you will be able to eat truly delicious ingredients in a day or two!"
Kulvich said with a hearty smile, without being pretentious.
"Haha, good, you are thoughtful. If the food is really as delicious as you said, I will definitely recommend it to you in hotels across Europe!"
"I have some connections in this area!"
Ye Feng thanked again.
This kind of connections is not something that people of his age can master. Although money can be used, it is not as smooth as using favors.
After all, Europeans like to pay attention to a certain level. There is a big difference between a recommendation from a top art master and a businessman negotiating with money.
After a while, Bowles brought a few people back to the east wing workshop.
Holding the notarized documents, contracts, and future appraisal certificates in his hands.
Ye Feng took a general look and signed them all if there was no problem.
Then Bowles asked someone to carefully pack up the items.
While the staff was packing, Bowles asked Kulwich:
"Master, wasn't it agreed that the painting"Sinking" on display in your exhibition hall outside would be auctioned?"
"Why did you suddenly give it away?"
Kulvich glanced at him and said indifferently:
"《I gave"Sinking" to Ye Feng. If you want to auction it, just ask him!"
Powers took a breath. If the"Sinking" was auctioned, it would at least start at several million US dollars. He didn't think there was anything wrong with it being sold for tens of millions of US dollars.
The master just gave it away like that?
No, the question should be asked this way.
What kind of magic does Ye Feng have that makes the master give away a sculpture worth millions or even tens of millions of US dollars?
