Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Kim Whan-Ki achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in March 2004. In the Japanese and Korean Art auction, the work Morning Star, 1966 sold for USD 95,600.00 (€ 77,774.16) - well above the upper estimate of USD 40,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Kim Whan-Ki achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work 05-IV-71 #200 (Universe) in November 2019 with an auction result of HKD 101,955,000.00 (€ 11,824,892.46).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Kim Whan-Ki erzielte im März 2004 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Japanese and Korean Art wurde die Arbeit Morning Star, 1966 für USD 95.600,00 (€ 77.774,16) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 40.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Kim Whan-Ki erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit 05-IV-71 #200 (Universe) im November 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 101.955.000,00 (€ 11.824.892,46).
