Han Wu Shen Brings $78,000 at Auction
April 18, 2013
| We wanted to follow up with our readers that the four paintings by ARC Living Master™ Han-Wu Shen which recently appeared in the Sotheby’s Hong Kong 20th Century Chinese Art April 6th auction all sold. | |
| Strange Forrest reached the top of its estimate at approximatly $30,000 and On the Way went four times over estimate and achieved a price of $78,000. It is the highest price one of his paintings as brought to date. Sotheby's included a large write up on the artist, his relationship to ARC Chairman Frederick Ross and the Art Renewal Center in their auction catalogue. Shen has had a full and successful career in China before coming to the United States, and his work bears strong resemblance to the famous work of Chinese artist Wang Yidong in subject, color pallet, composition and technical execution. Yidong, who is five years younger then Shen, regularly has his paintings bring over $1,000,000 US dollars for a single work at auction. We believe Shen's prices at auction will continue to climb until they achieve a comparable price level. |  On the Way by Han-Wu Shen |
