MM Racing Chapter 296
Chapter 296
This is not an oil painting, not even a painting.
Rather, it is a letterpress print, framed in a minimalist frame.
To be precise, this is a screen-printed portrait of Marilyn Monroe, but with some artistic treatment.
The specific treatment is to create a smoky atmosphere with light and dark light and color changes.
In the painting, Marilyn Monroe's blonde hair, red lips and teeth, as well as eye shadow and eyebrows, etc., have been enhanced and more dramatic.
But anyway, it looks like an advertising picture or a movie poster.
In fact, the shape of Marilyn Monroe in the painting does come from the movie poster.
Looking at this painting, everyone was stunned.
A moment later, Elaine was the first to wake up, and then said in surprise:
"Wow! This is Andy Warhol's "Marilyn Monroe", one of the most famous masterpieces of Pop Art
" "I didn't expect it to be this famous painting, what a huge surprise!"
With her words, everyone suddenly sobered up.
The next moment, the scene was directly fryered.
"Oh my God! It's incredible that such a top-quality artwork is hidden in the warehouse!
"As far as the market for Andy Warhol's painting is concerned, this Marilyn Monroe is worth at least tens of millions of dollars,"
Patrick exclaimed directly.
While exclaiming, this guy was also full of envy and remorse.
Clearly, he was regretting it.
Why didn't I take a bankrupt auction of this warehouse before, and I missed such a top-level work of art worth at least tens of millions in vain?
At this time, how did he know that he missed much more than that!
In the live broadcast room, it has also boiled instantly.
"Did I hear you right? Isn't this just a movie poster? It's actually worth more than ten million dollars
" "Even if the person in the painting is the sexy goddess Marilyn Monroe, it won't be so expensive, can she still come out of the painting?"
Shang Cheng Gong Feng said in surprise.
"I want to fart! This is Marilyn Monroe, not Tian Luo girl!
"Learn about Andy Warhol, the same print and movie posters, he created works that can sell tens of millions
of dollars" "As far as I know, Andy Warhol's works of more than ten million dollars, I can't count them quickly,"
Night Breeze Light Blue said.
Before the words fell, there was a loud laugh in the live broadcast room.
Immediately afterwards, another envious exclamation.
At this time, Xiao Ran finally began to introduce
this "Marilyn Monroe" "Yes, this is indeed the masterpiece "Marilyn Monroe" by
Andy Warhol, the soul of pop art and a master of modern art" "Please look at the lower right corner of this painting, there is Andy Warhol's personal signature, there is no doubt!"
"This kind of silkscreen printing creative technique, as well as the color tone and light and shade changes, is also very Andy Warhol's personal style
" "MOMA has an almost identical "Marilyn Monroe", but the color scheme is slightly different, you can compare it on the Internet"
said, he stretched out his finger to sign the author in the lower right corner of the painting.
Following the direction of his finger, everyone saw Andy Warhol's signature at a glance.
Even without the author's signature, everyone did not have the slightest doubt about the authenticity of this "Marilyn Monroe".
This painting is so famous that with the identity and wealth of the owner of the futures company, it is impossible to buy a fake collection.
Although the price of this "Marilyn Monroe" is high, there are many surviving quantities, and it is not difficult to buy!
Andy Warhol's silver studio in New York is simply an assembly line factory, I don't know how many copies of "Marilyn Monroe" have been printed
, and in a moment, everyone has read the author's signature.
It was indeed Andy Warhol's personal signature, like a fake bag!
After determining this, everyone no longer has the slightest doubt about the authenticity of this "Marilyn Monroe".
Immediately afterwards, an employee asked curiously:
"Since this is Andy Warhol's outstanding masterpiece, "Marilyn Monroe", the value must be very high, right?"
"Can you give an accurate valuation, Sean, and give us an eye-opener as well?"
Xiao Ran looked at this guy and pondered for a moment before giving an answer.
"Marilyn Monroe" is one of Andy Warhol's most famous masterpieces, and can also be said to be one of the most famous symbols of pop art" "And Andy
Warhol's works have always been wildly sought after and loved by top Western collectors, especially in the United States
" "Elvis Trio and "Marlon Quadruple", auctioned in the first two years, created amazing records of $82 million and $70 million, respectively
" "A few years have passed, The price of Andy Warhol's work has gone up another big step, soaring like a rocket
" "And this "Marilyn Monroe" is far more famous and important than those two paintings, and it is one of the most outstanding paintings in the Monroe series
" "In view of this, the valuation I gave for this "Marilyn Monroe" is 120 million US dollars, and it is only low!"
"Ah! One hundred and twenty million dollars! The
scene exploded directly, and everyone was stunned and stunned in place.
The live broadcast room was the same, instantly silent, leaving only a heavy breathing sound.
After a few moments, everyone came to their senses.
Immediately afterwards, one after another exclamations sounded.
"I'll go! Isn't this just a movie poster? I took the screen and printed it and changed the color scheme
" "That's worth $120 million?" How can it be? It's too easy to earn!
"I also get such a movie poster, can I also sell it for so much money?" I'm definitely prettier than this,"
the prodigal son said indignantly, as if missing out on hundreds of millions of dollars.
"No way, this is pop art, that is, pop art, this is Andy Warhol" "The two paintings that Xiao Ran just mentioned are actually two movie posters
" "Andy Warhol
took it to deal with it, and the two paintings cost 150 million US dollars, where is the reason?"
Indifferent daddy said.
At the same time as the heated discussion, everyone also found the auction records of some of Andy Warhol's other works.
When everyone reported those auction records one by one, the live broadcast room suddenly became more lively.
Many of these guys beat their chests and regretted one by one.
Say that you have wasted decades of good time.
If you know that art is like this, that it is so easy to make money, you have long become a master of art and a super rich.
Of course, these are just jokes, no one takes them seriously.
Xiao Ran just smiled and didn't take the words of these art masters seriously.
David and Marven, who were at the scene, looked at this "Marilyn Monroe", and their envious eyes were red.
At the same time, they also have some doubts, just like many fans in the live broadcast room.
It's not even a painting, it's just a print, why is it worth 120 million dollars?
Their reaction was completely expected by Xiao Ran.
He chuckled softly and then explained a few words.
"People may say, isn't this just a screen-printed movie poster, why is it worth so much?"
"But this is the case, this "Marilyn Monroe" does have
such appeal in the art market" "Or Andy Warhol has such appeal, pop art, like abstract expressionist art, is the most sought after modern art genre today
" "And among all the masters of pop art, Andy Warhol is the most respected master, and his works are also the most valuable"
Hear here, David, they all nodded.
As Americans, they are familiar with Andy Warhol's name.
That's one of the iconic figures of American pop culture, and everyone knows it.
And in all aspects of their lives, the shadow of pop art can be seen everywhere.
Even so, it is difficult for them to accept that a movie poster is worth more than $100 million.
In contrast, Elaine and the two company employees easily accepted this matter.
They are all insiders and naturally have a better understanding of Pop Art and Andy Warhol's influence and status in the present.
After a pause, Xiao Ran continued to explain:
"The current pursuit of pop art and Andy Warhol's works in the collecting world can be regarded as a speculative speculation, with a lot of capital pushing it" "If I'm not mistaken, this sick futures company owner may be one of the speculators of Andy Warhol's works, and
he is an important role!"
"I just don't know why, his collection of Andy Warhol's works appeared in this warehouse? "
If this guess is correct, then there may be other painting bags and perhaps other works by Andy Warhol"
said, and he reached out to the other painting bags beside him.
Following the direction of his finger, everyone looked at the painting bags.
Without exception, everyone's eyes instantly became extremely hot and almost burned.
"There are also works by the master artist Andy Warhol, how is it possible?"
Patrick exclaimed, and the whole person almost jumped.
In the live broadcast room, there was also an exclamation.
"Me! A movie poster worth 120 million US dollars is not enough, Xiao Ran's appetite is inevitably too big!
"Xiao Ran, this product is really winning! This luck is really against the sky!
In the midst of an exclamation, Xiao Ran handed the painting "Marilyn Monroe" to Elaine, and casually picked up a painting bag!
