A top price for Kang Ik-Joong
In September 2008 Sothebys in New York held the auction Contemporary Art Asia, which included the work Moon Jars by Kang Ik-Joong. Here, the upper estimate of USD 120,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 134,500.00 (€ 95,518.78). With this result, Moon Jars is even the most expensive work of art by Kang Ik-Joong that we have observed at auctions so far.
