Also known as

Yan Pei-Ming

Yan Pei Ming is a Chinese painter associated with France, where the collected biographical sources place him in Dijon. He is best known for forceful, large-scale portraits whose figures emerge through broad, rapid brushwork. Public descriptions particularly identify his portraits of Mao Zedong and note his recurring use of restricted black-and-white or red-and-white palettes. These features give many works an immediately recognizable visual structure: a dominant face or figure, emphatic tonal contrast, and an energetic painted surface. Collectors may encounter his name in connection with contemporary portrait painting and works that transform political or historically recognizable figures into monumental images. The available source pack supports his identity as a painter and his Chinese origin, but it does not establish a specific art movement from an institution-grade source. His exact birth year also remains unresolved because the collected authority and encyclopedia-style records conflict.

Common works and media

Yan Pei Ming is principally documented in the collected sources as a painter of large-scale portraits. Works may feature broad, rapid brushwork and restricted black-and-white or red-and-white palettes. Portraits of Mao Zedong are specifically noted, alongside the broader category of figurative portrait painting. The source pack does not provide enough evidence to characterize editions, prints, drawings, sculptures, or other media as common auction offerings.

Market and appraisal context

Appraisal should begin with the individual object rather than a general assumption about the artist's market. For Yan Pei Ming, useful comparisons should account for work type, dimensions, portrait subject, palette, execution, and date. Monumental portraits should not automatically be compared with smaller or materially different works, and a Mao subject may belong to a different comparison set from another sitter. Condition, provenance, inscriptions, and attribution still require object-specific verification. When public auction records are available, sale date, realized price, auction-house description, and similarity of the comparable lot provide more useful context than an isolated headline result. The collected sources do not support a price forecast or market-trend claim.

Auction categories and appraisal factors

Common auction categories

  • Paintings
  • Portrait paintings

Value drivers

  1. Scale and dimensions, particularly when comparing monumental portraits with smaller works
  2. Portrait subject, including whether the sitter is Mao Zedong
  3. Palette and execution, including black-and-white or red-and-white compositions and visibly rapid brushwork
  4. Sale date, realized price, and similarity to comparable public auction lots when records are available

Appraisal caveats

  • The collected source pack does not include a detailed major-auction-house biography or individual lot records, so no price trend, record price, or market direction is asserted.
  • Authorship, condition, provenance, dimensions, and the exact work date require object-specific examination and cannot be established from the artist identity sources alone.
