## About Yang Shaobin

Yang Shaobin is a Chinese artist born in 1963. International authority records identify him principally as a painter, while Wikidata also describes him as a graphic designer. His name appears in several cataloguing forms, including “Yang, Shaobin,” “Yang, Shao bin,” and the Chinese form “杨少斌”; these variants are useful when matching works, publications, and auction records. The available sources do not establish a specific movement, school, subject repertoire, or named series, so those labels should not be assigned without further evidence. Collectors are most likely to encounter works catalogued as paintings under his romanized or Chinese name. Appraisily maintains an auction-record page for the artist, but its collected public response did not expose individual lots. Identity matching is therefore better supported here than detailed biographical, art-historical, or market characterization, and each work should be assessed from its own cataloguing and documentation.

## Common works and media

Authority data identifies Yang Shaobin as a painter, making paintings the only auction work type supported by this source pack. Wikidata additionally records graphic design as an occupation, but the available evidence does not establish posters, prints, editions, or other graphic works as common auction categories. Specific materials, subjects, and series remain unverified.

## Market and appraisal context

An appraisal should begin by confirming that a work is associated with this Yang Shaobin, using authority identifiers and documented name variants to reduce the risk of mistaken identity. The source pack supports painting as the principal work type but does not document specific materials, subjects, dates, editions, dimensions, or recurring series. Public auction records may provide useful comparisons when their lot descriptions, sale dates, and realized prices are available; however, the collected Appraisily response could not be inspected at lot level. No price trend or value range should be inferred from this research alone. A defensible valuation requires relevant object-level documentation and genuinely comparable auction evidence beyond the present identity sources.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine researched artist identities with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are publicly available and can be matched reliably.
