Living Master program played a significant role

That's great news about the Shen paintings in the Sotheby's auction!* I hope the bids exceed expectations and the inclusion in the auction will draw more interest to his works.
I bought one of the paintings he first did after immigrating to the US. The ARC Living Master program and Shen's inclusion in it played a significant role in my final decision to buy a painting at such price levels.
Cheers,
