Also known as
Yang Shan Shen, Yang Shanshen, Yang Shen-sum, 楊善深
Shanshen Yang (1913–2004), also catalogued as Yang Shanshen, Yang Shan Shen, and Yang Shen-sum, was a Chinese painter closely identified with Hong Kong. Chinese-language and European reference sources associate him with the Lingnan school, a major context for understanding how his work is described and catalogued. Library authority records establish the Chinese name 楊善深 and connect the artist’s different Romanized names, an important distinction when researching catalogues and auction archives. Collectors most often encounter Yang through paintings and works on paper, although auction databases may apply broader category labels to individual records. His substantial presence in Appraisily’s matched public-auction index means that works attributed to him appear across a long sale history and under several name variants. Reliable identification therefore begins by reconciling the artist’s name, inscriptions, medium, date, provenance, and physical characteristics rather than relying on a single spelling or an isolated auction result.

Common works and media
Public identity sources describe Shanshen Yang principally as a painter. In auction and appraisal contexts, collectors are most likely to encounter paintings and works on paper, with some records classified under prints or broader fine-art categories. Because the available market index uses broad category labels, the medium, support, dimensions, signature, inscriptions, and attribution stated in each individual catalogue entry should be reviewed before treating it as a comparable work.
Market and appraisal context
Shanshen Yang has an extensive public-auction record, but an appraisal should compare like with like. Medium, dimensions, date, subject, condition, restoration, inscriptions, provenance, exhibition history, and confidence in attribution can all affect how a work compares with prior sales. Relevant comparables should resemble the object being assessed rather than simply sharing the artist’s name. Edition information also matters when applicable. Appraisily’s records may include differently reported fees, incomplete feeds, or later attribution changes, while private transactions are generally unavailable. Public results therefore provide market context, not a guaranteed price or a substitute for physical examination and authentication research.
