The work 'Lotus' I, 2007 by Wonsook Kim was sold in the Japanese and Korean Art auction at Christies in New York in September 2007. The »bidding war« ended at USD 4,000.00 (€ 2,813.14), 33% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Wonsook Kim - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work By the shore, 1992, which sold at auction in March 2008 for USD 15,000.00 (€ 9,490.67).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 33 % übertroffen
