Why Xu Huijun matters
This profile documents a name, "Xu Huijun," carried on Masterworks' internal artist watch list. Verification across auction house archives, museum records, and art press confirmed one auction lot, a work titled Yellow River sold at Christie's Hong Kong in 2014, cataloged there under the name Xu Huijun, born 1973. Beyond that single record, a fuller biography, gallery representation, and collection history could not be confirmed as of July 16, 2026. This page records what was checked, what was found, and what remains open, so it can be expanded once further primary sources are located.

Biography
Christie's Hong Kong catalogued a lot for the work Yellow River under the heading "Xu Huijun (born 1973)," which is the only source found that establishes a birth year. No exact birth date, birthplace, nationality, education, or biographical narrative could be confirmed for this individual. A search under this name also surfaced a LinkedIn profile for a person named Xu Huijun based in Wuhan, Hubei, China, whose listed occupation is a role at PCCC unrelated to visual art and cannot be reliably linked to the auction lot above.
No obituary, memorial notice, or death record could be located for an artist named Xu Huijun, and no source dated 2025 or 2026 explicitly confirms this individual as living either. In the absence of any death record, standard practice is to treat the artist as living, but this profile records that inference rather than asserting it as a documented fact.
Critical reception
No exhibition record, award, or verbatim critic quote naming Xu Huijun could be located in the sources checked. Material retrieved under similar names concerned other, separately documented artists, including Xu Beihong, and is not attributed here because it cannot be responsibly connected to the individual named on the Christie's lot for Yellow River.
Market
One auction result could be confirmed for an artist cataloged as Xu Huijun: Yellow River, sold at Christie's Hong Kong in 2014 for USD 144,398, per a MutualArt market overview that describes this as the artist's record price since 2014. A Christie's lot page for a work of the same title, attributed to "Xu Huijun (born 1973)," corroborates the existence of the lot and the artist name, though it does not independently confirm the realized price in the sources checked. The exact sale date beyond the year 2014 could not be confirmed, and no sale after 2014 setting a higher price was identified. No gallery representation, museum collection, or broader price history could be verified.
