“Lot 05, “Palazzo Dario” oil on canvas 56.2×66.5cm. Painted by Claude Monet in Venice in 1908…”

At the Impressionist and Modern Art Evening Sale held at Christie’s in New York, Arthur, in a black high-definition suit and a black velvet bow tie, raised his mouth slightly, with a calm smile, holding a glass of amber champagne, and other well-dressed costumes. The “gentlemen and ladies” of American upper class society sat at the scattered round tables in the field, watching the auctioneer on the stage, introducing the details of the lot on the big screen.

“The starting price is US$2 million…”

As the auctioneer revealed the starting price, celebrities and celebrities in front of the round tables in the venue were discussing quietly, and more people were curiously looking at the guests who had begun to raise their placards to join the bidding.

Looking at the paintings on the big screen, Arthur picked up the white round number plate marked 18 on the table and raised it slightly, keeping a calm smile from beginning to end.

“3 million, 3 million… This gentleman bid 3 million, is there any extra? 3.1 million, 3.2 million…”

Arthur just smiled indifferently at the price that was soaring again. He paid no attention to the curious and inquisitive gazes around him, nor did he frequently raise placards to bid with others. When the price reached 3.9 million, he returned to the scene again. The auctioneer’s questioning sounded.

Arthur smiled and held the card again.

“4 million, Mr. 18 bid 4 million…”

At this time, the look at Arthur became more and more, and Arthur still maintained an elegant smile.

“…4 million, is there any fare increase? 4 million… the last time…”

“Snapped!”

Drop hammer.

“Mr. 18, “Dario Palace” made for 4 million shots…”

Hearing the hammer drop by the auctioneer, Arthur smiled and nodded slightly to his guests. Many guests were also surprised when they saw Arthur. They also smiled and nodded to Arthur.

Now Arthur is definitely the most popular celebrity in New York, and even the United States. This time, it is because Arthur has been spending large sums of money in various auctions, charity auction receptions and art exhibitions. Buying works of art has made him even more famous in the upper class of New York.

. . . . . .

“Mr. 18 bid 25 million… Is there any increase? 25 million… The last time… Boom! Congratulations to Mr. 18, Vincent Van Gogh’s bid for 25 million “Trees in the Garden of the Nursing Home”…”

“Wow—”

“Papa Papa–“

With applause, Arthur stood up with a brilliant smile. Under the attention of all the guests, he leaned gracefully and thanked everyone for their congratulations.

At the end of the auction, Arthur left the hotel where the auction was held under the **** of the bodyguards and got into the car. Arthur couldn’t help but shook his head and laughed. In the past two days, he has spent almost 70 million dollars on art. In terms of quality, I have to say that spending money is really addictive and really enjoyable!

However, the money spent is also super value. Most of the artworks he buys are famous artists whose names he has heard of, and their works will only become more and more valuable over time. You must know that art is the most wealthy. So concentrated.

These ancient and modern works of art condensed wealth while also appreciated. They are not only spiritual wealth, but also cultural wealth, and the best long-term wealth of the family!

Moreover, with his generous spending, he has become a man in New York today, many art exhibitions have invited him, and many rich and famous Americans want to meet and entertain him.

It’s just that Arthur did not accept these admiring invitations casually. He knew that he used money to open the door of New York’s upper class society, but how to enter the door requires a suitable opportunity and guide.

“What’s the schedule tomorrow?”

Leaning on the car seat, Arthur closed his eyes and asked calmly.

“Sotheby’s Impressionist and Modern Art Exhibition.” The bodyguard sitting in the co-pilot immediately replied.

“Ok.”

Arthur said lightly, and it seems that he will continue to spend money. This is not only an opportunity for him to become famous, but also an opportunity for him to spend money to gain a bargain. An economic crisis caused heavy losses for many established families in the United States. If you exchange your collection for money, some works of art are even more unforgettable. They have been cherished by those families for decades or even hundreds of years without seeing the sun. There is such a good opportunity to pick up bargains. Arthur will never miss it. of.

The next day, when Arthur opened his eyes from his sleep, he saw a golden spinning wheel on the ceiling. The faint rays of the sun are the fifty strings on Jinse, and one hand moves them. The golden thread trembled like a newborn rabbit and sang a single chant in a low voice.

Arthur expected this strange light to be a sign. Legend has it that if a Roman opens her eyes in the morning and sees an inverted golden ocean above her head, she will kill an animal in the temple, pull its intestines out, and read the oracle from the intertwined internal organs.

Arthur just got up, opened the window, and got the same information. Ambulances, fresh air, police sirens, orange sunrise, New York’s spring is as easy as the bread that is gradually arching in the oven.

Washing up, eating breakfast, and reading news reports about himself in the newspaper, Arthur happily changed his clothes, tidyed up his appearance, and went out at 9 o’clock to the Sotheby’s New York showroom.

“Good morning, Dear Earl Arthur Boleyn, and welcome you…”

When Arthur got out of the car, a smiling middle-aged man in a suit, leather shoes, and hair combed outside the Sotheby’s showroom immediately walked down the steps to welcome Arthur’s arrival.

“Thank you.” Arthur nodded with a smile.

Then Arthur climbed up the steps under the guidance of the other party. The other party helped Arthur open the door very diligently. Arthur stepped into the spacious and bright hall and saw that there were many people in the exhibition hall, standing in twos and threes. Before each piece of art, I watched carefully and discussed in a low voice.

Arthur didn’t let the staff follow him, but watched the dazzling array of artworks in the exhibition hall by himself. Since it is an exhibition of impressionism and modern art, it is naturally to present masterpieces from the 19th to the 20th century.

From Gustave Calleport’s bird’s eye view of the romantic streets of Paris in 1878, to Pie Bonnard’s delicate paintings depicting Muse in bathing and dressing, and Pablo Picasso’s huge and bright portrait “The Musketeer and the Pipe” “──The majestic image of the person in the painting is ready to emerge. The paintings, drawings and sculptures in the exhibition hall reflect the artistic development process of a hundred flowers blooming in this important period.

To talk about Arthur’s ability to appreciate works of art in his previous life, it can only be understood through the seven faculties of what he is and knows nothing. But after receiving everything from the original Arthur, the aristocratic education from a young age made Arthur at this time also full of many artistic bacteria. Although it is not comparable to some senior people, it is absolutely higher than ordinary people.

“”Haystack”?”

Just as, Arthur frowned slightly, with a solemn expression, and his eyes burning carefully watching Monet’s Haystack hanging on the wall. A crisp sound of high heels stepping on the marble came from behind, and a fragrant wind blew by. Arthur Smelling two distinct scents and hearing a crisp female voice, Arthur turned and looked back at the two beautiful ladies standing behind him.

Two beautiful blonde women looked at him with bright smiles!

One of them has a charming smile on her face. She has loose blonde hair and exquisite makeup. She is wearing a simple purple tube top skirt, black stiletto boots, and holding a leopard print clutch that is difficult for women to give up. The attire is extremely classic, with no extra elements.

Another young blonde beauty, very tall and slender, black tight-fitting crop top, with an orange-red half-length skirt, holding a black handbag, the golden ratio of the figure can make all women envy and jealous .

With a bright sunny smile on his face, Arthur said to the two beauties who suddenly appeared behind him: “Yes, Monet’s “Haystack” was created in 1890.

This is Monet’s most important work, because since the creation of Haystack in 1890, he has boldly explored the different effects of light and atmosphere on a single object over time.

It was Haystacks, Rouen Cathedral and Giverny Water Lilies series that established his position in Impressionism. In the early 1890s, Monet created 25 works. Since 2000, only four works of the same series have been on auction, and this painting is one of them. At present, only eight works of the same series belong to private collections, and this painting is one of them.

At present, there are a total of 17 “Haystacks” series collected by well-known museums around the world, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Musée d’Orsay in Paris, and the Art Museum of Chicago with six more. In addition, the source of the “Haystack” in front of us is prominent. The original collector bought it directly from Monet’s agent in the 1890s. They were the wealthy Chicago and social celebrity Porter Palmer and his wife. “

Arthur said confidently and calmly, so that the two blonde beauties in front of him had their beautiful eyes twinkling, and the smiles on their pretty faces became brighter and brighter.

“Wow, I didn’t expect you to be so knowledgeable.” The somewhat mature, charming beauty between her eyebrows and her eyes sighed with a smile, and then stretched out her red nail polish hand, and said with a sweet smile: “Ting Siri Modimo, nice to meet you, Count Arthur Boleyn.”

Arthur was not surprised that the other party directly said his name. Instead, he smiled and held the other party’s slender hand, a very gentleman’s kiss.

“It’s a great honor to meet you~www.mtlnovel.com~Mrs. Modimer, please call me Arthur. After all, this is America.”

At this time, Arthur had already searched through his mind to find out all the celebrities he had seen in Manhattan’s upper-class society. After the other party reported on his home, he knew that the charming beauty standing in front of him was caught by the American media. Known as “one of the most famous faces at the grand event held in New York”, “the most popular person chased by the spotlight”, and “the most watched young celebrity in New York.”

“Chuck…” The kissed Mrs. Modimer smiled charmingly, and introduced Arthur to the young beauty who was also smiling like a flower. “This is…”

“Lydia Hirst, very happy to meet you.” Delia shook hands with Arthur and introduced herself very generously.

Arthur’s eyes lit up slightly, and a faint light flashed in his eyes. Very gentlemanly shook the other’s small hand, and then said: “Arthur Bolin, it is my honor to meet a beautiful lady like you.”
