The »bidding war« ended at USD 92,500.00 (€ 68,386.81), 32% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Kim Heung Sou - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Untitled (Two figures), which sold at auction in September 2007 for USD 313,000.00 (€ 220,128.00).
