This artwork by Kim Joon achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in Hong Kong in October 2009. In the Contemporary Asian Art auction, the work Bird Land- Armani sold for HKD 137,500.00 (€ 12,021.35) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 70,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Kim Joon - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Blue Fish, which sold at auction in May 2015 for GBP 21,875.00 (€ 30,414.89).

In der Auktion Contemporary Asian Art wurde die Arbeit Bird Land- Armani für HKD 137.500,00 (€ 12.021,35) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von HKD 70.000,00.
