Recognised as one of the market leaders of contemporary ink art, Liu has produced an exhilarating legacy of physical grandeur, spiritual immensity and delicately rendered lyrical power, whether through monumental landscapes, large-scale and multi-faceted portraits of individual rocks, or his distinctive representations of flowers and books. Included in this Sotheby's Hong Kong sale are rare works from private collections and with impeccable provenance. One such example, Avalokitesvara (1979) is a record of visit to Dunhuang preceding his move to the United States and was formerly in the collection of Lily Sui Fong Sun, granddaughter of Sun Yat-sen; The Scholar's Rock in the Jianssonge Collection (2013), is a tribute to the scholarly connoisseurship of the East Asian collector.
