Also known as
Chin, Hsiao, Xiao, Jin, 蕭勤
Hsiao Chin was a Shanghai-born painter and visual artist whose career became closely connected with Taiwanese modern art and the development of Chinese abstraction. Authority records identify him under several romanized forms, including Chin, Hsiao and Xiao, Jin, while his Chinese name is 蕭勤. He was a founding member of Taiwan’s Eastern Painting Group, an organization associated with the emergence of modern and abstract painting in the region. Public biographical sources consequently place abstraction at the center of his artistic context. Collectors may encounter Hsiao Chin through paintings offered under different name variants, making careful identity matching important when reviewing catalogues and auction records. The available institutional and authority profiles establish his identity as a painter, but the collected source pack provides limited detail about individual bodies of work, recurring subjects, or named series. Those features should be assessed from the specific object and its documented history.

Common works and media
The collected authority sources support paintings as the principal type of work associated with Hsiao Chin, particularly within an abstract-art context. They do not provide enough evidence to make reliable claims about specific supports, recurring motifs, print editions, sculptures, ceramics, or named series. Objects presented for appraisal should therefore be described from direct inspection, with the medium, support, dimensions, inscriptions, signature, date, and edition status recorded exactly as observed.
Market and appraisal context
Hsiao Chin’s authority records consistently identify painting as his principal medium, and paintings are therefore the clearest auction category supported by the collected sources. The available research pack does not contain sufficiently detailed major-auction-house evidence to establish artist-specific price trends or rank the effect of particular periods, subjects, or series. For an appraisal, the submitted object should be matched carefully against the artist’s name variants and compared with genuinely similar public auction records. Medium, dimensions, date, signature or inscriptions, condition, provenance, and any edition information should be documented at the object level rather than assumed from the artist name. Attribution and authenticity require separate evidence and cannot be established from an auction-directory match alone.
