On the morning of the nineteenth day, before the auction began, Liu Xiaoxiao arrived at the Shrek Grand Auction House.
Relatively speaking, today's auction was not receiving much attention, because it was an auction of luxury goods and artworks.
Even so, there were quite a few excellent lots, such as Yu Tianming's paintings.
At present, the only thing preventing his works from becoming world-famous masterpieces was probably the fact that he was still alive.
Of course, the price of a painting was often unrelated to its actual quality. A truly terrible painting might be regarded as a priceless work of art in certain people's eyes.
Liu Xiaoxiao flipped through the lots. There were some gold and jewelry pieces, but not many, and most used exceptionally precious gemstones. After all, even among luxury goods, individual items worth over a hundred million were rare. Even luxury yachts generally only cost several tens of millions of Federal Currency.
Even for those so-called upper-class figures, owning one such item was enough to symbolize their wealth and status. After all, even among the upper class, only a minority possessed assets exceeding a hundred million Federal Currency.
Expecting such things to sell for the astronomical prices of divine artifacts was simply unrealistic.
By comparison, artworks were more valuable. Some famous paintings and stone carvings passed down from ancient times could sell for prices comparable to divine artifacts without anyone finding it strange. Throughout history, more than a hundred artworks had already sold for over ten billion.
The price of an artwork often did not depend on the quality or fame of the work itself. The collector's identity and the auction house's standing could both affect its price.
However, the art auction would be held in the evening. That was something of a tradition.
