This artwork by Gimhongsok achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in May 2011. In the Post-War and Contemporary Art Featuring Property from an Important Private European Collection Afternoon Session auction, the work Love sold for USD 116,500.00 (€ 81,037.84) - well above the upper estimate of USD 60,000.00.
