Upper estimated price slightly exceeded

The work Um & Yang by Kim Heung Sou was sold in the Japanese and Korean Art auction at Christies in New York in March 2001. The »bidding war« ended at USD 9,987.50 (€ 11,357.18), 25% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Kim Heung Sou achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Untitled (Two figures) in September 2007 with an auction result of USD 313,000.00 (€ 220,128.00).

Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen

Die Arbeit Um & Yang von Kim Heung Sou wurde im März 2001 in der Auktion Japanese and Korean Art bei Christies in New York versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 9.987,50 (€ 11.357,18) und damit 25% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Kim Heung Sou erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Untitled (Two figures) im September 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 313.000,00 (€ 220.128,00).
