Almost at the very end of the new weeklong Asian arts sale at Eldred's, it was a Century painting that was the top lot. Lin Fengmian's description on paper of two ladies achieved $27,600. Fengmian, born in China in 1900, sold his initial painting at age nine. This painting came from a Pennsylvania consignor and went to a purchaser in Singapore.
Another Twentieth Century artwork was a roll painting on paper by Hsu Pei-hung of two horses watering at a stream that sold for $13,800.
A scroll painting on paper of looming mountains on top of pine trees by Fu Bao-Shih, also a Twentieth Century Chinese artist, sold for $9,775 and a scroll painting of a mountain landscape with sage and pavilions by Chang Dai Chein realized $6,000 from an American collector.
