Accompanying Art Auction for the Guanlan Print Exhibition
Fortunately we still have several prints by the selected artists on consignment, mainly from the collection of the late H.T. - including the art print Bridge by Shi Yanqing. For this special occasion we are running an auction of Chinese art prints exclusively devoted to the participating artists from May 10 until May 17.
Gallery of Selected Artists
Here is one print art work by each of "our" artists represented in the Guanlan Print Exhibition.
Wen Mujiang - born 1970
Man - February 2008 - Woodcut Print
copyright Li Yanpeng
Wen Mujiang was discovered by our art agent in China when he was still making his large woodblock prints on the balcony of a small apartment. Since then he has won major prizes. His art prints are still affordable - in spite of small editions.
Wen Mujiang - Sound of Sparrows
Wen Mujiang - Shadow of Breeze
Wen Mujiang - Red Tone
Wen Mujiang - Human Condition
Li Yanpeng - born 1958
Grassland of Early Spring, 2003 - Reduction Woodblock Print
copyright Li Yanpeng
Li Yanpeng's landscape prints in reduction woodblock technique are unique. Prices have gone up considerably over the last years. If you are among the lucky ones who purchased one of the circa 100 prints that we sold by Li Yanpeng, keep them by all means. We expect higher prizes for Li Yanpeng in the future.

Chen Guangyong - born 1973
Face No. 1 - 2002 - Silkscreen
copyright Chen Guangyong
A hot tip for collectors. Normally hard to get. Thanks to our long and personal connections with many artists, we can currently offer an excellent collection of the best designs by Chen Guangyong for a very reasonable price that is distinctively below the prices in China.
Hu Xinqiao - born 1972
Cities Series - Patrol - 1998 - Woodcut Print
copyright Hu Xianqiao
Earlier prints by Hu Xinqiao are today hard to get and expensive.
Zhang Guilin - born 1944
Fish's Delight - 2005 - Silkscreen
copyright Zhang Guilin
Zhang Guiling is usually sold out. I do not expect that we will be able to offer you any more art prints by this master who has specialized in silkscreen prints. Well, you cannot always get what you want. Sometimes it is better to take what you can currently get well and for reasonable prices.
Ji Shicheng - born 1957
Astonishment - 2000 - Reduction Woodblock Print
copyright Ji Shicheng
Ji Shicheng has developed a style of his own - quite modern, but still figurative. His art prints are today "classics" of modern Chinese printmaking and are in important museums like the British Museum, the Chinese National Art Gallery. the Shanghai Art Gallery, the Yan Huang Museum, the Shenzhen Art Gallery, and the Guiyang Art Museum in China.
Exhibition Report
artelino will publish an exhibition report as soon as we will have news from the opening and will have the catalog in our hands (this may take).
