Chapter 88 Replica
Fortunately, Su Xiaoqi is optimistic by nature and just put things that she can't figure out. She also reminded herself that this will not be the time to compete for competition, but the best opportunity to learn. The most important thing is to learn more with Zhou Xia and Xu Yaohui.
After understanding this, Su Xiaoru quickly put down the burden in her heart and devoted more energy to observing how Zhou Xia and the others identified it.
Zhou Xia is still the same thing, and Liu Yaohui's identification techniques are actually not much different from him. It is worthy of being both specialized in porcelain identification. The first thing the two of them consider is whether the materials have reached the generation.
If the paper and ink carrying the works of Dharma are not from that era, then there is no meaning of identification at all, and it is enough to directly determine it as false.
Knowing that it is very likely to be the highest level of imitations, Zhou Xia was even more energetic. Deep in his heart, he first treated these calligraphy and painting works as imitations.
Not to mention identification, just from a logical point of view, what is the probability that the three authentic works of Li Keran appear in Lao Wang? It is so low that Zhou Xia is unwilling to think too much. The possibility that the three authentic works at the same time is reduced to zero first.
Then, Zhou Xia started to make an appraisal based on his own experience and the methods he had just learned from the same old men as Liu Yuanshan and Zhou Shu.
Speaking of which, Zhou Xia is actually good at objective identification and short of subjective identification, so he also has special skills to do the most difficult pen and ink paper. However, if he uses old paper, his trick will not be so inspiring. If he correctly understands a work based on the mood of the Legalists when he created it, he needs to challenge now.
This requires the most comprehensive understanding of every Legalist, such as the appraisal of Li Keran by Zhou Xia. What was his mood when he created this work, and whether there was any major thing that affected him that year. What is the difference between his early work Shepherd's Shepherd's and the late work Shepherd's Shepherd's, what is the reason, etc.
To make an accurate identification, you must first turn yourself into an encyclopedia.
Although Zhou Xia cannot really reach this point now, he has the help of an archaeological identification system to make him work hard in this regard.
Although it was only his first time appraising Master Li Keran's works, Zhou Xia's final conclusion was the same as the final identification results given by the system. This made him very happy, but he was also a little regretful.
Time waits for no one, and Zhou Xia also focused his energy on the last picture of Pan Tianshou.
One of the most famous Shanghai-style painters in modern times, Pan Tianshou's works are quite popular in the East China Sea. What comes with it is a large number of Pan Tianshou's quality products flooding the market, and Pan Tianshou's is also considered a severely affected area.
Although Zhou Xia hopes to gain something from Lao Wang and have a good start.
But it is obvious that Zhou Xia felt that he overestimated Lao Wang's integrity.
Although he is not particularly familiar with Pan Tianshou's works, Zhou Xia still finds out the flaws from other aspects.
The title of this painting is: I want to pick it and give it to you, but who can I ask you if I am not a gentleman? In the autumn of the 21st year, Ah Shou.
The 21st year of autumn refers to the 21st year of the Republic of China, which is 1932.
Zhou Xia felt that according to common sense, the works from that time should have some old traces no matter how they were passed down.
But the quality of this work is preserved quite completely, giving people a very new and eye-catching feeling. It can be said that it doesn't look like something from the 1930s at all.
With the style of this painting, Zhou Xia felt that it was too simple and sloppy, and it was just a perfunctory thing with just a few strokes. If Zhou Xia had not had some knowledge and attainments in calligraphy and painting, he might not have been able to judge what the paintings were all about.
Therefore, Zhou Xia boldly concluded that this painting should be a replica, and it was a replica that was only published in recent years.
According to convention, even if a work that was sentenced to death by Zhou Xia himself, Zhou Xia would ask the system to appraise it. After all, he is also a rookie in calligraphy and painting, and it is the most normal thing to miss it. If you don’t need to do the appraisal in the system, it would be a pity if you miss the authentic product.
"This work was created in 1932 AD."
The final identification result of the system made Zhou Xia’s glasses fall so much that such a thought came out of his mind, “Is the system in a mess?”
The system ignored him, so it is unknown whether the system was in trouble. However, Zhou Xia was about to vomit blood.
If this is really the original work of Pan Tianshou, it would be incredible.
Zhou Xia, who was originally interested in the lack of interest, suddenly became excited again. He wanted to see why the system identified this work as a work from the 1930s.
Such a new brightness is more likely to be new unless it has been carefully cared for and preserved very well.
The style of painting that Zhou Xia saw as too simple also hit him a little.
He knew very well that if this painting was really created in 1932, it would really be the original work of Pan Tianshou. At that time, no man had the vision to imitate Pan Tianshou's paintings, even though he had already gained some fame at that time.
Then I will only explain that, that is, the person whom Pan Tianshou gave the painting, and his descendants protected the painting very well. How did it fall out again later? Zhou Xia is not sure.
But it can be imagined that the death of an elder and the unfilial son sells calligraphy and paintings are often seen.
Although he was a little confused, Zhou Xia still accepted the systematic judgment that this painting should be the original work of Pan Tianshou.
Since it is an original work, it should be taken down. For the first time, I have to please the best of my calligraphy and paintings with Xu Yaohui.
In this way, we will naturally inevitably mention more vulgar topics, how much is it worth.
Pan Tianshou's works are more popular in the East China Sea, but Lan Shitu is relatively simple and has a relatively small size. For example, this painting is only 30*40 cm, which is easy to preserve, and the price is not too high. If it is a genuine product, it will only be about 100,000 yuan. Of course, if Zhou Xia and Xu Yaohui really pay for about 100,000 yuan to buy it, it would be meaningless. It is not really what you want to collect. If you use this price, you cannot deliver the goods, which will affect the flow of funds.
Zhou Xia thought that the best result was to take down this orchid picture at the price of a high imitation.
In this way, you can earn tens of thousands of dollars. If you can sell it to a collector who really likes Pan Tianshou's works but cannot find the authentic works of Pan Tianshou among the many imitations in the market, it is also a good thing. It is unrealistic to collect any good things and real things you want. Even the world's richest man would not have the capital to do such a thing.
But this is not an easy task, especially in the hands of an old fox like Lao Wang, you have to pay attention to some strategy.
In addition, Zhou Xia was not sure whether Lao Wang knew that this picture of Pan Tianshou’s orchid stone is genuine.
According to Zhou Xia's conjecture, with Lao Wang's urinary nature, this work should be regarded as a high-quality imitation. After all, this painting does not look like a genuine one.
Another important reason is that the three works by Li Keran that this guy took out are not genuine. He was so honest that he could not say that he took out these good things because he looked at his friendship with Xu Yaohui. Zhou Xia really wanted to come forward and kick him.
Xu Yaohui was quite stable and did not hurt his face. Perhaps it was because he had seen too many such things.
No matter what, Zhou Xia felt that there were opportunities. If Lao Wang asked for a price too high, then give up. Zhou Xia didn't want to trap his already-numbered funds in the quagmire.
Zhou Xia also made a secret speech in his heart, thinking about how to deal with the old fox, Lao Wang.
While he was thinking about it secretly, Xu Yaohui also finished appraisal of these calligraphy and painting works and came to him for advice. Lao Wang was also tactful at this time and did not come to disturb them.
Xu Yaohui said that these two young people were his advisers, so they naturally had to discuss and discuss the opinions. Lao Wang didn't think these two had any eyesight. Lao Wang knew the level of Xu Yaohui's appraisal work. To be honest, it was too far apart. Then he felt that it was the same level as Lao Wang's appraisal of porcelain. At the same time, Lao Wang also sneered in his heart. Xu Yaohui gave up his own best field and thought of finding gold in his works. He really thought that this kind of business was so easy to mess around?
Xu Yaohui asked Zhou Xia's opinion lightly, "What do you think of these works that Lao Wang brought out? I think that Li Keran's calligraphy work has such a little meaning. His is indeed very popular on the market now, but the possibility that both of them are genuine is too small. As for Pan Tianshou's painting, my opinion is consistent with the picture of the cow, and I can't see it in the last century."
Xu Yaohui's words were said, if the true Lao Wang heard this, he would be so angry that he would be irritated.
Zhou Xia did not answer, and asked Su Xiaoru first, "Xiaoru, tell me your opinion first! Then see if we can reach an agreement on our opinions."
Su Xiaoru did not dodge and whispered her own opinion. "My opinion is the same as Uncle Xu. Although I also want to look at the picture of the cow shepherd in the morning, after seeing the twins at the auction, I really dared not draw a conclusion. If I want to buy a painting with real money, that painting is definitely not the first choice."
Xu Yaohui immediately asked, "What twins?"
Su Xiaoru immediately told him about the results of their morning research on the auction record, and added, "What I felt most deeply this time is that I think the gap between the pictures and the real objects is too big. I will never dare to look at pictures again and make an appraisal. At most, I will use it as a reference opinion."
"Old bastard Lao Wang is too unkind." Xu Yaohui couldn't help but feel resentful. "I had only paid attention to porcelain before, and I had not had time to pay attention to the calligraphy and painting works of this autumn auction. I didn't expect such an erotic incident... In this way, the two cowherd pictures can be given up 100%. The best way to stay away from them is to stay away from them like this. Moreover, with the craze of Li Keran, such as Li Keran's craze, it's probably impossible to get it down without 300,000 or 400,000. Even if it is a genuine product, it is not worth it. Although Li Keran's calligraphy work has not received any attention, with the help of this east wind, it may have risen a little more than before. My estimate is 200,000, which depends on how much Lao Wang's mixed ball is offered."
Zhou Xia replied, "Uncle Xu, don't worry too much. It doesn't matter how much he offers Li Bai, the calligraphy of Li Keran."
Xu Yaohui instantly understood, "Zhou Xia, what do you mean is, don't you be optimistic about that work?"
Zhou Xia nodded, "Yes, I don't think that thing is real."
Su Xiaoru said, "But I think it is consistent with Li Keran's calligraphy and painting style, and there seems to be no flaws in other aspects."
Although Xu Yaohui didn't say anything, he obviously had the same meaning, so he just waited for Zhou Xia's explanation.
Zhou Xia preached, "The style of that work is indeed exactly the same as that of Li Keran's running script. Even the bell seals and seals are exactly the same, and there is no problem with the paper. But there is one thing that is wrong, that is the ink on it."
Su Xiaoru was a little confused, and she also carefully identified it, and it seemed that there was no problem.
Xu Yaohui was also confused, "According to Zhou Xia, what you said, is this a copy?"
Zhou Xia replied, "Yes, this calligraphy is a copy. Xiaoru, you have seen it. At first, I took a high-power magnifying glass and looked at it carefully to find the flaws. It has to be said that now, the real effect can be faked and fake. The identification styles, charms, brushwork, seals and so on used in the past are useless for such replicas.
Because this is a copy of the genuine product, it is not like a handwritten imitation. No matter how similar it is, there are always some differences in Shen Yun. The replica has no flaws in these aspects."
Zhou Xia continued, "Replicas of modern paintings such as Li Keran and Li Bai's poems and Maggots are particularly easy to hide from everyone's eyes. Because time has passed, the paper used is similar, and if it is well preserved, it is reasonable to leave no trace. Unlike ancient paintings in the Ming and Qing dynasties and before, you have to work hard to get old, and you often have to expose your feet in these places."
"Then these replicas are invincible!" Su Xiaoru was very angry. She also understood why she looked so much like Li Keran's original works, because that was simply copied! It would be strange if she really didn't look like it!
Zhou Xia said, "Of course, replicas are replicas after all, and they cannot be exactly the same as the genuine ones. If you observe carefully, you can still find many clues, such as the ink dots in the blanks of the art work, which are subtle traces left by the printer when printing. Such things cannot be left when hand-worked paintings. In addition, because replicas are printed, the pigments used are also different from traditional ink. Observing from multiple directions under natural light, you will find that some traditional inks cannot appear in things and colors. Also, the degree of ink in the replicas on paper will be different from those of hand-painted paintings, and will be relatively uniform, rather than as different in the depth of the genuine ones. According to my observation, another picture of the shepherd boy and the cow is also a replica." (To be continued
