Speaking of Tang Bohu, I think everyone should be familiar with it, one of the four great talents in Jiangnan, and there is also a movie "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance", everyone must have seen it.
The movie screen of "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance".
So about one of his works sold for 3.6 billion, is this true, is it really the editor is lonely, the transaction price is ridiculously high, and according to Tang Bohu's fame and painting status, it is impossible to reach this level.
In this regard, the editor also specially asked someone to consult about this matter, but I didn't expect him to give a reply: "Surprised, it's the first time I've heard of such a thing, is it also because I'm lonely and unheard?"
"Lushan Waterfall View"
3.6 billion Chinese paintings, this sky-high turnover of works, the editor wants to see what it looks like, otherwise it will seem that the editor is too uninformed.
Searching for a lot of content about this information on the Internet, I don't know if I don't know it, and I found that there is really 3.6 billion information for sale, and I followed the clues to check this content: "On September 19, 2013, Sotheby's New York held a special auction of ancient Chinese paintings and calligraphy.
Tang Bohu's "Viewing the Waterfall of Lushan Mountain" started at 300 million US dollars, and after 120 rounds of bidding, it was finally sold at a sky-high price of 590 million US dollars (converted to 3.6 billion yuan at that time). ”

Seeing such information, the editor thought that it should be unlikely that this was fake, saying that there was a nose and a right eye, but later I learned that it was actually a hype method for the behind-the-scenes operators to create a bubble with a high price for these paintings, and then sell them at a high price.
The work simply does not reach such a price, just to increase its buying and selling value in front of the seller.
