A total of 77 lots, worth approximately 7.2 billion KRW, will be auctioned, featuring works by Korean art masters such as Lee Ufan, Park Soo-keun, and Park Seo-bo, as well as prominent artists including Kwak In-sik, Lee Bae, Marc Chagall, and Andy Warhol.

The 'Daegu Sale' will include Lee Ufan's large-scale 300-ho painting titled 'With Winds' (Baramgwa Hamkke). Created in 1990, this work is characterized by the dynamic and rhythmic movement formed by the gradations of paint touches covering the large canvas. Another representative work by Lee Ufan, 'From Point' (Jeom-eurobuteo), will also be featured.

Additionally, representative works by Korean art masters will find new owners in Daegu, including Park Soo-keun's 1961 piece 'Nongga' (Farmhouse), which showcases his unique rough matter and evokes a rustic and Korean sentiment; Park Seo-bo's 50-ho sized 'Myobeop No.060612', notable for its refreshing blue color; and Yoon Hyung-geun's 'Burnt Umber & Ultramarine'.

Seoul Auction will also present works by artists with ties to the Daegu region through the 'Daegu Sale'. Kwak In-sik and Lee Bae, who have made significant marks on the Korean art scene, have works included in this auction. Additionally, works by artists currently active in Daegu, such as Kim Jong-eon's 'Bamsae... Seosandong', Byun Mi-young's 'Yusansu', and Kim Chang-tae's 'Nungil' (Snow Path), will also be exhibited.

Works by internationally renowned artists will also be available. Original paintings by masters such as Marc Chagall's 'Le Musicien et la Ch?vre' (The Musician and the Goat) and Andy Warhol's 'Flowers' will be featured, attracting attention as they appear after a long time.

The preview exhibitions will be held sequentially in Seoul and Daegu.
