Five years after his death the majority of Chen Yifei's paintings have returned to China and are now owned by Chinese collectors.
He was the first contemporary Chinese artist to gain international success in the 1980s, breaking new auction price records repeatedly. He was also the first Chinese artist into fashion, publication, home decoration and the movie industry.
The first memorial exhibition of Chen is now on Shanghai Art Museum and will run till May 9.
