v3 Chapter 1064： Qi Baishis shrimp sells for 200 yuan? (1/2)
”Of course no problem, please!”
After speaking, Yan Sihai said a please gesture, and then took Xia Yu, Liu Zhihe and others into it.
After turning a few turns along the corridor, Xia Yu found that this was another building, equivalent to the annex of the China Revolutionary History Museum. In addition to the guest house and restaurant, there was also a special calligraphy and painting exhibition hall.
The calligraphy and painting exhibition hall is exactly where Xia Yu's goal is.
After walking into the Progress Hall, the scene in front of him made Xia Yu's eyes bright.
I saw many people standing in the huge exhibition hall. Except for a dozen foreigners, most of them were elderly people of a certain age, admiring the calligraphy and paintings on the walls.
Xia Yu glanced, and conservatively estimated that there were at least a few hundred calligraphy and paintings hanging in this huge exhibition hall. It's a boutique!
Xia Yu walked straight to the front of a painting. It was an ink painting. It was a group of shrimps cruising, with different postures, lifelike and full of charm. He painted the shrimps walking calmly and lively and'happy in it'. The beauty of emotion and poetry.
This shrimp is well drawn!
Xia Yu looked at the words and the red seal in the lower right corner again.
There are not many words, only two, but it makes Xia Yu's eyes bright.
Shiraishi!
There is a square red seal under the word. There are not many lines in the word, but Xia Yu can still tell that the upper left corner is the stone word, and the lower right corner is the white word.
This is Qi Baishi's chapter!
Sure enough, the introduction of Yan Sihai that sounded at this time confirmed Xia Yu's judgment.
”Mr. Xia, this painting is by Mr. Qi Baishi. There are hundreds of paintings by Mr. Qi Baishi in our museum. Because of the area of the exhibition hall, only a dozen are displayed. The size of this one is considered medium.”
Hearing that the museum had collected hundreds of paintings by Mr. Qi Baishi, Xia Yu was a little surprised and curiously asked: ”Then what is the price for this painting by Mr. Qi Baishi?”
Yan Sihai immediately said, ”This painting is sold for two hundred yuan?”
Xia Yu stared slightly, thinking he had heard it wrong, looked at Yan Sihai, and asked again: ”Two hundred yuan?”
Yan Sihai thought that Xia Yu was too expensive, so he quickly explained: ”Mr. Xia, Mr. Qi Baishi’s paintings are indeed at this price, mainly because his old man has passed away for more than 20 years, and his paintings are sold for one less than one. , And his old man’s reputation is relatively large, so the price is more expensive.”
”Like the paintings of Master Li Keran, because he continues to create, the price will be much cheaper. The fine works are fifteen yuan a foot. Early paintings can be bought for eight or nine yuan.”
”If you want to buy this painting, I can discount you half the price!”
Hearing what Yan Sihai said, Liu Zhihe glanced at him dissatisfiedly, and hurriedly added: ”Mr. Xia, if you like this painting, I can give it to you directly on behalf of the museum. Here you can see which one you like. Take it away!”
Yan Sihai heard Liu Zhihe say this, and took a look at the latter and found that Liu Zhihe kept winking at him. He immediately changed his words and said, ”Yes, Mr. Xia, you are our VIP. You can take any painting you need with me. Let someone wrap it up for you”
Xia Yu was a little bit dumbfounded. Seeing Yan Sihai seemed to be planning to call someone, he waved his hand to stop him.
”Director Yan, Director Liu, you don't need to be like this. If you don't have any rules, don't mention it. If I want it, I will buy it!”
”Let's go see the painting over there!”
After that, Xia Yu stepped forward, ignoring Qi Baishi's painting.
Liu Zhihe and Yan Sihai looked at each other, wondering whether Xia Yu liked the painting or not.
The two could only quickly follow in Xia Yu's footsteps.
Next, Xia Yu stopped in front of many pictures. Yan Sihai would give an introduction. Xia Yu would inevitably ask the price, and Yan Sihai would answer truthfully.
After some understanding, Xia Yu looked at the calligraphy and paintings of the masters all around, and there was an emotion in his heart that seemed to be gushing out, which was worthless and regretful for them.
These deceased or living masters in China are very famous, but their masterpieces are sold in the National Revolutionary History Museum at low prices.
According to Yan Sihai, many artists take the initiative to sell their paintings here in order to make a living, because selling to foreign guests can have a higher price and can also contribute to the country.
