SANYU: His Life and Complete Works in Oil
(Volume Two: Complete Works in Oil)

Volume Two of Sanyu: His Life and Complete Works in Oil comprises the catalogue raisonné of the 321 known works in oil by Sanyu (Chang Yu, 1895–1966) on mirror, canvas, masonite, board, or paper. A catalogue raisonné is a critical, comprehensive, and systematic compilation of the known oeuvre of a single artist in a given medium or combination of media. It prioritizes authenticity, supported by records of provenance, exhibitions, and publications. Conceived of in Europe in the eighteenth century, catalogues raisonnés have been compiled for most major Western artists by scholars, authorized foundations, family estates, and combinations thereof.

It is hoped that this catalogue raisonné, with contributions by collectors, scholars, expert imaging specialists, photographers, and scientists, will elevate the scholarship on Sanyu and enhance the understanding of his art, ensuring the continuation and wide dissemination of his legacy.
