Twenty Billion Won for a Single Dot: Lee Ufan Masterpieces Head to Auction
South Korea’s leading auction houses, K Auction and Seoul Auction, are headlining their February sales with monumental works by Lee Ufan. Two rare, large-scale 'Dialogue' canvases featuring the artist's signature minimalist dots are expected to fetch significant sums, with estimates reaching up to 2.4 billion won. The auctions also feature major works by other Korean masters, including an early 1955 painting by Kim Tschang-yeul and a blue monochrome piece by the late Chung Sang-Hwa.
