Note 1) See Askart.com for an
extended biography of Yuan, which includes the following passage: “S.C. Yuan,
is considered one of the finest painters to come out of the Monterey Peninsula.
A “painters painter”, his work is a favorite of contemporary painters who
marvel at his effortless technique. “Yuans strength as an artist was his
ability to communicate a wealth of visual information with swift and concise
markings,” says Kathleen Moodie, Curator at the Museum of Art and History in
Santa Cruz. “Yuan fused an Eastern elegance of economic line with the robust
energy of Western abstraction,” she added in the catalogue for an upcoming show
of Yuan’s works.
Note 2) The foregoing considerations
and the following auction records regarding Yuan sales warrant the conclusion
that the presale estimate of $7,000-$15,000 is reasonable and justifiable.
