Chapter 87 The Lost Rookie

After seeing this picture of Li Keran's "triplets" herding cows, Su Xiaoru unconsciously glanced at Zhou Xia, wanting to see what he thought and whether he felt like he was struck by lightning like her.

Unfortunately, she did not see what she expected from Zhou Xia's expression. Zhou Xia was still as calm as water, and was not affected by this painting at all.

"This is unscientific!" Su Xiaoru said in her heart that with Zhou Xia's memory, it is impossible to forget the works they discussed in the morning.

Su Xiaoru couldn't help but think about what was going on in his current vagueness? Is he going to give this old Wang a face? Or, even if there were "Twins" at the auction, the picture of herding cattle still might be real.

But no matter what, the emergence of these multiple calligraphy and painting works shows that there must be something strange about it.

Although Su Xiaoru was extremely curious, she still resisted her inquiry and followed the principles she had set before she came, looked more and asked less, stood quietly by, watching how Zhou Xia and Xu Yaohui responded.

The owner of this place, Lao Wang, truly transformed into Wang Po, boasted about the origin of the paintings in his hands. It was said that the Donghai collector XX had a day but had to bear the pain of giving up, and just wanted to take action as soon as possible and transferred it to him at a relatively low price.

Su Xiaoru remembered Zhou Xia and the others' advice and said that she would only take this kind of story as a matter of wind, and she would be fine if she had heard it.

In fact, it is true. Unless it is particularly well-known and circulated in an orderly manner, you can find those collectors to verify it personally. Other origins can basically be ignored. The more exciting the story is, the more likely it is to be a scam.

She only cares about the quality of these paintings.

As Zhou Xia said, this year is really worthy of his name. Li Kerannian took advantage of the popularity of Li Keran's works at the spring auction. Li Keran's works were all popular, and all the works that were not often seen in the past suddenly emerged.

This situation is not only reflected in the situation in the antique market transactions at auctions. Here, Lao Wang immediately took out two pictures of the shepherd boy and the cow by Li Keran, which is the most popular among Li Keran's works.

This is also a deep reason. Li Keran's shepherd boy and cow pictures are quite rich in quantity, not large in size, moderate in price, and quite artistic value. It is not surprising that Li Keran's red works with over 100 million in size are large and high in price, and generally only appear at auctions. For private transactions, most of them are priced below one million in price.

In addition to the two paintings of Li Keran's shepherd boy and Niu Wai, Lao Wang also took out a pair of Li Keran's calligraphy works. His calligraphy works are not as popular as those of Shepherd boy and Niu Huo, and the price is the lowest among all his works, but they still have considerable value and considerable collection potential and room for improvement.

In addition, Lao Wang also took out a picture of orchidstone signed by Pan Tianshou. Pan Tianshou is one of the Shanghai-style painters, and his works are very popular in the East China Sea. Lao Wang also explained that such works are the easiest to take, and if they were not for the long-term interaction with Xu Yaohui, they would definitely not be willing to take them out.

Su Xiaoru initially thought this scene was interesting, but after hearing him say it twice, he felt that it was not nutritious.

But Lao Wang still spoke very sincerely, and even Xu Yaohui's response was a bit heart-to-heart.

Su Xiaoru could only shake her head at this, saying that the relationship was too profound and complicated, she couldn't understand it very well.

This interpersonal relationship is not as good as reading calligraphy and painting works. It is a imitation or imitation, and the authentic one is a genuine one, and there will not be so many things that are indescribable.

She was beside her, thinking randomly. When she was wandering around, Zhou Xia saw her distracted and waved her to come over to observe the works.

Su Xiaoru quickly calmed down and silently recited in her heart, "It's always shallow to know what you know. You must practice it yourself if you know this. Even if you talk about it on paper in the morning, you will be on the battlefield now!"

She saw that Zhou Xia’s most concerned target was not the cow shepherd picture that they had discussed for a long time in the morning. He didn’t mention that it had two twin brothers at auction, as if he didn’t know about it.

What Zhou Xia is most concerned about is the calligraphy work of Li Keran.

The symbol is the spring month of Guihai, which can be dyed.

The content is Li Bai's running script, "I bid farewell to Baidi in the morning among the colorful clouds, and I returned thousands of miles of Jiangling in one day. The sound of monkeys on both sides of the shore cannot stop, and the light boat has passed thousands of mountains."

Su Xiaoru practiced calligraphy for a long time when she was a child. In her opinion, this painting was written quite interestingly. There are still quite similarities with Li Keran's calligraphy she had studied in the morning. Anyway, with her brushwork, she absolutely cannot copy such a work of this level.

But we know that these are not enough. When we were in school, the teacher taught them. What is the so-called identification? What is the determination? Calligraphy and painting works are essentially arts and crafts, and they cannot be identified from the more emotional aspects of brushwork and style. To do identification, we must start from materials and traces, combined with the objective existence left behind, and combined with subjective and objective analysis.

Otherwise, it is putting the cart before the horse.

She looked at Zhou Xia carefully and the first thing he identified was that it was not the aspect of her subjective feeling that she had a heavier subjective feeling.

He started from the materials and carefully observed the paper used. Since it was Kui Hai Chunyue, which was made in 1 Zhaonian. It has been more than thirty years since then. Whether there are traces of oxidation and color that should be preserved for about thirty years, whether the traces are natural, and whether there are any signs of artificial old work. Not only that, he also took out a high-power magnifying glass and looked carefully to see if the pen and ink had penetrated into the paper, whether the dizziness was natural, etc.

Only after carefully identifying these aspects, Zhou Xia began to look at the tip of the calligraphy work, style, and artistic conception.

Su Xiaoru thinks she should really learn more from Zhou Xia. First, objectively, then subjectively. This way, it is less likely to be affected by subjective emotions, so as to make the most objective identification results. If you do subjective identification first, you will have preconceived ideas and it will be difficult to not be affected.

Of course, Zhou Xia's relatively inverted behavior of calligraphy and painting appraisal also made bystanders and the owner of the shop, Comrade Wang, despise him from the bottom of his heart. He rarely saw any expert in calligraphy and painting appraisal. He was clamoring. As soon as he came, he felt that the two young staff members Xu Yaohui found were not very reliable. But this was also the one he most wanted to see. If he was really a master in the industry, there would be no room for him to take advantage of the situation.

After Zhou Xia identified this calligraphy work, he still looked calm, and he could not tell what his true judgment was in his heart without any sorrow and joy. Lao Wang couldn't help but complain about him in his heart.

I really have a trick to pretend to be a ghost. No wonder Xu Yaohui was fooled by him.

Su Xiaoru followed this running script of the Mushroom Poem, and learned from Zhou Xia's appearance, and also started to make an appraisal carefully. Although she was eager to know what the final appraisal result of Zhou Xia did, she did not ask it on the spot. This was also a good opportunity to test her eyesight. Then compare her own appraisal results with Zhou Xia and others and you will know how good she is at her current level.

Su Xiaoru also put more energy into the identification of materials, and she felt like the bones in an egg.

Even the highest quality imitation cannot be exactly the same as the genuine one. She firmly believes that as long as she is willing to work hard, she can always find flaws. If it is the genuine one, the most tangible evidence can be found.

Su Xiaoru took a magnifying glass and took a detailed examination. The final result was that, in terms of her perception, this painting should be the original work of Li Keran.

Of course, when doing appraisal now, you will inevitably have to estimate the price. Especially in the collection environment like China, most people do not really like to collect, but make money by investing. The value has become the most concerned target.

If Su Xiaoru wants to become a qualified appraiser, she must grasp the appraisal firmly. She thinks that the appraisal is better to be relatively conservative. She estimates the appraisal at that time. Although the person who sent the appraisal was very happy at that time, when he faced the harsh market, the happiness would soon be thrown out of the sky. Turning back, he would also scold the appraiser for misleading people.

Su Xiaoru guessed that if such a calligraphy work is genuine, if it is hard to get a lot of work in Li Keran, this year, when all kinds of works are popular, it should not be less than 250,000.

At this time, it cannot be measured by the transaction price at the auction.

The final sale price at the auction basically represents the highest price of similar works in the current market. This transaction price includes the part that the auction house needs to charge a commission. The price that the buyer needs to pay is of high, but the hands that the seller can get are much smaller than the transaction price.

If the hammer price is one million, plus the commission buyer needs to pay, that is, the final transaction price that everyone can find in the end is about 1.15 million. In addition to paying various fees such as catalog fees, the seller also has to pay the auction house a commission of 10% of the hammer price of 100%, which is less than 900,000 yuan.

Therefore, even if you have to use the auction price to estimate an item with a hammer price of one million, the maximum estimation given by the appraisers in the end is only more than 800,000 yuan. However, often, this price has to be settled and dived a lot.

Because this is at auction, it can be said that it represents the highest price of the same collection on the market.

If the appraiser valuates your collection, it will cost millions of people and tens of millions of people. It is best to be vigilant, especially some famous appraisers who charge according to the percentage of market valuation. The higher the valuation, the more they will earn.

When Su Xiaoru was thinking about these things secretly here, Zhou Xia had already completed the identification of the cow herding pictures they had discussed for a whole morning.

After Su Xiaoru got the appraisal result, she didn't delay much. She learned from the conversation between Xu Yaohui and Zhou Xia that they would not only look at the things in the old Wang family in the afternoon. The time is limited, so they cannot waste it on unnecessary appraisal.

Of course, if Su Xiaoru wants to check the information at this time, she can only use her mobile phone to check the information online, so the effect will not be very good. Therefore, it is mainly based on the information in her mind that she has accumulated in her daily life.

Since Su Xiaoru has had some research on this cow herding picture, she was also full of expectations. She thought to herself that she could identify the authenticity without telling it. At least, she could find some flaws.

She was at Zhou Xia's house and played "Everyone is here to find fault" for the whole morning.

But when she really got started, Su Xiaoru realized that things were not as simple as she thought.

When the picture of the cow shepherded by Lao Wang was truly displayed in front of her, Su Xiaoru realized that the two pictures she saw in the catalog were weaker in comparison!

Although she tried hard to recall the details of the twins, her mind was full of the feeling that this painting brought her, and she also had a feeling that this painting was indeed the charm of Li Keran's shepherd boy and the cow, the lively and cute boy, the free and easy old cow, and even, she felt that every stroke was particularly interesting.

"The soul is light, can the real thing be compared to the photos?" Su Xiaoru sighed in her heart.

But she saw that Zhou Xia did not make any statement, and she still repeated his monotonous and persistent steps, and carefully looked for trouble with a high-power magnifying glass.

Only then did Su Xiaoru realize that Zhou Xia did not stay in this painting for long, even shorter than the Li Keran calligraphy work just now. What does this mean?

Su Xiaoru quickly used her brains to guess whether Zhou Xia was optimistic or bad about this picture, but she thought about it carefully and it seemed possible because he had been studying it for a whole morning!

"Forget it." Su Xiaoru quickly made a decision. " Instead of guessing what kind of appraisal of Senior Brother Zhou is doing, it is better to do the appraisal honestly. Anyway, this trip is here to learn, and even if the appraisal is wrong, it is nothing."

Although she comforted herself like this, she still hoped that the appraisal results would be consistent with Zhou Xia. If the appraisal results would be consistent, they had to think carefully from all aspects. In the morning, the two of them mainly analyzed the style, brushwork, outline, color, sense of layering and other issues of this cow-herding picture, and there was no way to make a judgment on the material of paper and ink. After all, they were used to appraise the photos, which was quite uncertain.

Moreover, Zhou Xia also mentioned before that the things Lao Wang brought out are definitely not licensed. If they are not genuine, they will definitely be imitations of a very high-level, with all details done well, and they are truly the kind of imitations that can achieve the real situation of falsehood.

Su Xiaoru had no psychological burden to identify the previous calligraphy of Li Keran as true in her heart.

But although Su Xiaoru has not found any obvious shortcomings in this picture of herding cattle, she is still a little hesitant in her heart.

After all, the twins that appeared at the auction had a great impact on her.

She couldn't help but think that what she saw in the morning was just the photos. The two paintings at the auction might be more amazing than this!

Moreover, the appraisers of the two auction houses, whether they have experience or knowledge, must be much better than her, a newcomer. Should they believe them or believe themselves. Su Xiaoru was very confused and made her undecided.

If you don’t know the authenticity, don’t talk about the valuation.
