Lot Essay

Matthias & Fleur (Lot 114) was offered at a charity auction, and the proceeds have benefited the pupils of the Maande Middle School in Yunnan, China. Dick Bruna (creator of the Miffy character), who Liu Ye greatly admires, invited him to participate in this project. Internationally renowned artists, such as Dick Bruna, Jeroen Krabbé, Wang Guangyi, Yin Kun and Liu Ye, have contributed to this auction. The inspiration of this work came from the main characters Matthias and Fleur in the story of Haruba.
