Chapter 2133 The Surrealist Da Vinci

The stall owner named Friedrich looked at the surreal sculpture again, then pondered for a moment before giving the offer for the sculpture.

"Mr. Steven, the price of this sculpture is 250,000 euros. If you can accept this price, you can take away this very good surreal sculpture."

After saying that, Friedrich looked at Ye Tian with anticipation, looking forward to hearing the best answer, and there was some anxiety in his eyes.

Ye Tian was stunned for a moment, then shook his head helplessly.

"Wow! 250,000 euros, it seems that this bronze sculpture must be a work by a famous artist, with extraordinary artistic value. Unfortunately, I cannot accept this price. It seems that I and this sculpture are destined to be out of reach."

Hearing this, a look of disappointment flashed across Friedrich's face and a little regret appeared in his eyes.

He knew in his heart that he was too eager to achieve success, too greedy, and the offer was too high. As a result, the bastard on the other side did not accept the challenge at all, and he didn't even have the desire to bargain.

If I had known this, the offer should have been lower than before. Maybe I could deal with this weird sculpture that had been accumulated in my hands for a long time.

Just when Friedrich was secretly regretting, Ye Tian had already looked at the other so-called antique artworks on the stall, completely throwing the surreal sculpture aside, without taking a look at it.

Next, he asked about the prices of several items one after another, but he didn't get a single item based on the reason that the stall owner's quotation was too high.

Then, he took David and the others away from the stall and walked towards a small antique shop not far away, without any nostalgia or reluctance.

"Why!"

As Ye Tian and the others left, a sigh immediately sounded around Friedrich's stall, coming from the crowd of people watching the fun.

Immediately afterwards, these onlookers quickly dispersed.

Someone continued to follow Ye Tian and the others, preparing to watch the fun, and by the way, check if there are any cheap ones to pick up. It’s okay to drink some soup without eating meat!

Some people scattered and went to this flea market to see if they could find any treasures.

The antique artworks, or so-called antique artworks at Friedrich's stall, that Ye Tian had just asked about, were no longer concerned about, and he didn't even have the interest to look at them more.

In their opinion, since that guy Steven believes that the so-called antique artworks are priced at a high price and are not worthy of making a move, the value of the so-called antique artworks can be imagined.

Besides, the cunning bastard Steven asked for the quotes of seven or eight items in a row. Who knows if there is a trap for cheating people? It is better to avoid being cheated so as not to be cheated.

However, these onlookers know where they missed an opportunity.

While talking, Ye Tian and his group had already arrived at the door of the small antique shop.

When they walked here, they suddenly stopped and did not push the door directly into the antique shop. Instead, they admired the several paintings and so-called antique cultural relics displayed in the window with great interest.

With the cover of the security personnel behind him and the cover of the antique shop window in front of him, Ye Tian quietly turned on the micro microphone of the wireless invisible headphones and said in a low voice:

"Cole, you inform Rudy who was mixed in the crowd and let him take action in half an hour and take down the surreal sculpture just now, with the maximum price not exceeding 5,000 euros.

Rudy is a German native and can speak fluent German. When buying the sculpture, remember to use German and never use American English, as it will reveal the silhouette.”

"I understand, Steven, I'll inform Rudy now."

Cole responded in a low voice, with a sense of excitement in his words.

As soon as he finished speaking, David, who was standing next to Ye Tian, ​​immediately asked in a low voice:

"Steven, is that surreal sculpture by which famous sculptor? It must be of great value, right?"

Ye Tian did not turn his head to look at David, but still admired a painting in the window in front of him, and said in a low voice:

"Yes, David, that surreal sculpture is indeed worth a lot of money, at least worth $15 million. Otherwise, I wouldn't have let Rudy take over the sculpture.

Although there is no signature of the author on that sculpture, I am sure it is definitely a work by the master of surrealism, a famous German-French painter, sculptor, and Max Ernst."

"Wow! It's actually a sculpture by Max Ernst. I know that this top art master has a lot of his works in the Guggenheim Museum in New York."

David was amazed directly, but fortunately his voice was low and his expression was not too exaggerated, and no one else noticed it.

Ye Tian nodded slightly, and then continued:

"Max Ernst is known as the 'surrealist Da Vinci'. He is dominant in both Dadaism and Surrealism art and is the soul of these two art schools.

The rich and boundless imagination he showed and the absurdity of the world were absorbed from the dreamy poetic and picturesque atmosphere of Germanic romanticism and illusory art, which surprised the world.

In artistic creation, Max Ernst is a tireless inventor. He constantly updates his expression techniques and is famous for his extremely varied artistic style and expression skills.

He uses various artistic techniques such as collage, friction, rubbing and scratching to create a changeable, colorful illusory world, and is known as a subversive and innovative artist.

After the end of World War I and retired from the German army, Max Ernst founded the Colomb Dada group in his hometown of Cologne and devoted himself to the embrace of the Dadaist art movement.

In 1922, Max Ernst moved to Paris. During his time in Paris, he officially joined the surreal art school and quickly became the soul of surreal art.

During World War II, in order to avoid the war, Max Ernst moved to New York, USA. He lived in New York for a long time and created many works in New York.

Not only the Guggenheim Museum in New York, but almost all major museums in New York have works by Max Ernst. His works are very popular in the American antique art market.

The surreal sculpture just now is a work created by Max Ernst during his time in New York, which shows the struggle and painstaking and desperate German people under the rule of Naui.

Compared to paintings, Max Ernst does not have many sculptures, each one is valuable, and coupled with the heavy theme of the sculpture, its value is even higher."

"I hope Rudy can successfully take the sculpture and turn five thousand euros into one hundred and fifteen million dollars, that would be perfect."

David said in a low voice with a smile, full of envy.

Next, they chatted for a few more words, then walked towards the door of the antique shop, opened the door and walked into the small antique shop.

About fifteen minutes later, Ye Tian and his group came out of the antique shop and walked towards another antique stall not far away.
