Thuong Lan artist's rating and value

Artist Thuong Lan has left behind a distinctive body of work, composed mainly of drawings. He is Vietnamese. The prices of his works are now rising under the auctioneer's hammer. The price at which they sell on the art market ranges from €275 to €109,300, a significant difference, but one that speaks volumes about the value that can be attributed to Thuong Lan's work. He is especially prized by Vietnamese buyers. In 2021, an ink drawing depicting a river landscape sold for €27,000, while it was estimated at between €5,000 and €7,000. Its value has been rising in recent years.

Order of value from a simple work to the most prestigious

Thuong Lan's style and technique

Thuong Lan has mastered several painting techniques, including silk painting, which is not very widespread in France. This typically Asian technique arrived in Vietnam thanks to the creation of the Indochina School of Fine Arts.

Thuong Lan Nguyen, a little-known 20th-century designer

Thuong Lan Nguyen (1906-1947), a Vietnamese artist, is successful on the auction market.

He works with many different techniques, depicting landscapes, sometimes spiritual temples and figures.

He produced woodcuts, very few oil paintings (not the best results at auction), ink-on-paper and watercolor drawings, as well as ink on silk. The technique originated in Japan and China, but developed in Vietnam in the early 20th century with the founding of the Indochina School of Fine Arts. It was in Vietnam that the silk washing technique was invented, enabling gradations to be obtained by superimposing several layers of ink.

His subjects and his way of painting remain the same, whatever the technique he uses.

Thuong Lan's imprint on his period

Thuong Lan remains a painter largely unknown to the general public, even though his works are highly prized at auction by Vietnamese buyers. Very little is known about his life.

Recognizing the artist's signature

Thuong Lang's works are not all signed. He sometimes leaves a signature, but this may have faded over time. This is why the estimate is so high.
