Mr Shan’s unique way of collecting has been featured by Christie’s Auction House.
Mr Shan has been recognized for his collaborative work with Chinese museums, such as Suzhou Art Museum and Guangdong, where he organized, consulted and supervised exhibitions of China’s best-known artists, Chen Danqing and Liu Dan.
