Chapter 222(3/3)

George Fairburn asked with a gloomy face: "Can you confirm which Chinese characters they are?"

"These two words are, Pingfang."

"Plain imitation?"

"Yes, it should be a man named Ping who imitated these oil paintings." The appraisal expert explained.

"Thank you Dennis! If it weren't for your discovery, we would still be in the dark.

Just wait a moment and I'll make a call." George Fairburn said politely and turned around to make a call.

At this time, not only George Fairburn felt that something was wrong.

Several other gallery owners behind the scenes also sensed something was wrong.

Oil painting artists and appraisal experts have also been invited to appraise the oil paintings.

Unfortunately, not everyone has studied Chinese antiques and Chinese characters like Dennis.

Therefore, until George Fairborn called, they just had a hunch that there was something wrong with these oil paintings, but they couldn't tell what the problem was.

There is another main reason. Everyone has fallen into a misunderstanding.

Because the artists Zhang Junping chose to imitate were all modern painters, everyone automatically ignored the age identification method.

After all, Picasso had just died five years ago.

If someone goes to identify the age, they will find the problem.

As a result, even in the dark under the lamp, I didn't even notice this.

After receiving a call from George Fairburn, everyone gathered at George Fairburn's manor.

Soon, Dennis discovered the word "imitation" on all the oil paintings, whether they were by Picasso, Da Vinci, or Rubens.

George Fairburn frowned.

It's not that he felt sorry for the forty million francs.

It's only 40 million francs, and for him, it's not a big deal.

To put it bluntly, the money he spends on buying art every year is far more than this.

What George Fairburn is worried about is the impact of "counterfeiting" on the art market.

If this incident spreads, the works of modern artists such as Picasso and Leonardo da Vinci will inevitably be impacted.

As for silence, there were so many people today, and George Fairborn was not so arrogant that he could silence everyone present with just one word.

Sure enough, just as George Fairburn had guessed, "counterfeiting" was like a bomb thrown into the Paris art market.

Artworks on the market, especially oil paintings, have been hardest hit.

It has generally dropped by about 30%.

Affected by oil paintings, the prices of other artworks have also fallen.

Then, the follow-up development continued.

Five thousand words.
