Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Happy Buddha, 2007 by Kang Ik-Joong was sold in the Japanese & Korean Art auction at Christies in New York in September 2008. The price achieved of USD 25,000.00 (€ 17,754.42) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 20,000.00 – 30,000.00. Admittedly, works by Kang Ik-Joong have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Moon Jars in September 2008 with an auction result of USD 134,500.00 (€ 95,518.78).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Happy Buddha, 2007 von Kang Ik-Joong wurde im September 2008 in der Auktion Japanese & Korean Art bei Christies in New York versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 25.000,00 (€ 17.754,42) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 20.000,00 – 30.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Kang Ik-Joong auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Moon Jars im September 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 134.500,00 (€ 95.518,78).
