Ho Jae Kim’s painting *Civil Art* is returning to Christie’s for auction, with expectations of reaching a million-dollar milestone. The work, which previously sold at auction, is now being offered again as part of a major sale, reflecting the growing market demand for the artist’s work.
This sale matters because it signals the continued rise of Ho Jae Kim’s market presence and the broader trend of contemporary Asian artists achieving seven-figure prices at major auction houses. It also highlights Christie’s role in driving the secondary market for emerging and mid-career artists from the region.
