Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
The work Untitled (White porcelain jar and plum tree) by Kim Whan-Ki was worth USD 825,000.00 (€ 521,986.71) to a buyer in March 2008. This price was achieved in the auction Japanese And Korean Art at Christies in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 220,000.00 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).

Die Arbeit Untitled (White porcelain jar and plum tree) von Kim Whan-Ki war einem Käufer im März 2008 USD 825.000,00 (€ 521.986,71) wert. Dieser Preise wurde in der Auktion Japanese And Korean Art bei Christies in New York erzielt und übertraf den zuvor angesetzten oberen Schätzpreis von USD 220.000,00 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).
