The China Guardian 2007 Spring Auction of Oil Painting and Sculptures began the morning of May 13th, and the work that everyone was paying attention to, Chen Yifei’s massive ‘Eulogy of the Yellow River’, underwent a torrent of bidding.

When the piece finally sold at a record price of RMB 40.32 million it received a warm round of congratulatory applause. The price was not only a world record for works by the artist, but was also a national auction record for all of Chinese oil painting. This work was the first massive and panoramic oil painting of Chen’s early career and was a significant work in establishing the artist’s reputation. At the time of its exhibition it received a tremendous amount of attention and admiration. It is a work of art historical importance and the artist himself considered it his ‘most prized work.’

Deputy Managing Director of China Guardian Auctions, Mr. Kou Qin said, “The successful auction of ‘Eulogy to the Yellow River’ was largely on par with our expectations, and we’re very pleased with this result. The figure of RMB 40.32 million is a worthy price for such an important work in the history of new Chinese art.”

‘Eulogy of the Yellow River’ is 297 centimeters long by 143.5 centimeters high, and was completed in 1972. At that time Chen Yifei was only 25 years old and was head of the Shanghai Oil Painting and Sculpture Studio. The construction of the piece focuses on areas of accumulated paint and expressive brushwork. The soldier’s extended leg and the cliff on which he stands are bathed in light. Palate knife and brush are used simultaneously, and the color is thickly applied, carving a strong and dazzling image. The bright color has a resplendent and gilded quality.

These features are the embodiment of Chen Yifei’s perfection and of his rigorous Soviet painting education. At the same time Chen Yifei succeeded at intelligently absorbing and transforming these styles, as is evidenced in every element of the masterpiece ‘Eulogy of the Yellow River.’ When this work was first revealed to the public at the 1977 United Armies Fine Arts Exhibition, the strong technique, composition and color made a strong impact on the fine arts world, and establishedChen Yifei’s position in Chinese art history.
