An He
(An Ho, 1927-2017)
Trees on an Island
ink and colour on silk
37.3 x 26.9 cm 14½x 10⅝in.
An Ho was born in 1927 in Beijing, China. Her father was the chief editor of several newspapers and her mother, a painter of flowers.

Her dream-like landscape paintings are a pure and tranquil expression of the universe, scaled down to terms comfortable for the human eye. Along with her superb manipulation of colour, her art invites

Upper estimate price exceeded by 58 %.
The work Trees on an Island by An Ho was sold in the Inkspiration: Chinese Paintings Online auction at Sothebys in Hong Kong in August 2021. It achieved a price of HKD 63,000.00 (€ 6,860.59), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 58%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by An Ho achieve.
