Artwork auctioned at seven times the upper estimate price
The work Pot by Kim Whan-Ki was worth USD 735,400.00 (€ 517,195.30) to a buyer in September 2007. This price was achieved in the auction Contemporary Art Asia: China, Korea, Japan at Sothebys in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 100,000.00 many times over. 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).

Dieser Preise wurde in der Auktion Contemporary Art Asia: China, Korea, Japan bei Sothebys in New York erzielt und übertraf den zuvor angesetzten oberen Schätzpreis von USD 100.000,00 um ein Vielfaches. 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).
