Also known as

A-shou, Ashou, Benweng

Pan Tianshou (1897–1971) was a Chinese artist and historian, also described as a painter and art educator. Active during the 20th century, he is represented in international authority files under several alternative names, including A-shou, Ashou, and Benweng. These variants matter because museum, library, and auction records may not use the same spelling. Collectors encounter his name principally in connection with paintings and the secondary-market records attached to them. The strongest public identity anchors in this source set are Wikidata, VIAF, Getty ULAN, and the Library of Congress authority record. The collected material establishes his basic identity, occupations, nationality, and life years, but it does not supply a detailed institutional account of his artistic development. Associations with particular movements, subjects, named series, and specialized techniques should therefore remain conservative until stronger museum or scholarly documentation is available.

Painting

Common works and media

Paintings are the only work type directly supported by the collected biographical and auction-page signals. The source pack does not provide sufficient institutional evidence to characterize particular supports, techniques, recurring subjects, editions, drawings, prints, sculptures, ceramics, posters, or named series. Auction and appraisal records should be matched conservatively to the documented medium and artist identity.

Market and appraisal context

Pan Tianshou is associated with a substantial auction-record input, but record count alone does not establish value. Appraisal should begin by matching the artist across authority records and alternative names, then comparing the same type of work using public sale dates and realized prices when detailed records are available. Prices should be interpreted in their individual sale context rather than treated as a current-value forecast. This source pack identifies painting as the supported work category but does not expose enough lot-level evidence to rank subjects, periods, techniques, provenance, condition, or attribution wording as artist-specific value drivers. Conclusions about scarcity, demand trends, and premium categories would therefore be premature.

Auction categories and appraisal factors

Common auction categories

  • Paintings

Value drivers

  1. Identity and attribution consistency across alternative names and authority records
  2. Comparable public auction records, including sale dates and realized prices when available
  3. Work type and medium, with painting as the only category directly supported by this source pack

Appraisal caveats

  • The collected pack does not provide detailed lot-level evidence for condition, provenance, dimensions, editions, named subjects, or attribution wording.
  • Auction-record volume does not by itself establish current value, liquidity, scarcity, or a price trend.
  • No accessible major-auction-house biography or detailed market analysis was collected, so market conclusions should remain conservative.
