Seoul Art Week concluded on Sunday with the end of Kiaf Seoul, the homegrown fair that featured 206 galleries from 22 countries and territories at the Coex convention center. Dealers that Artnet News spoke to said sales on the first VIP day were slow, but they continued throughout the week. Frieze Seoul concluded on Saturday, also at Coex, with 117 exhibitors, including blue-chippers like Gagosian and David Zwirner. There, the talk was much the same: sales were happening, but not at a rapid rate.

Below is a rundown of the reported sales—first from Frieze Seoul, then from Kiaf.

Note well: Many dealers chose not to disclose prices, or sales at all. This feature includes only sales where a price was reported, so do not read it as a complete listing of transactions. (Nevertheless, it does represent a rare bit of transparency in the ultra-opaque contemporary art market.) Last but not least: all prices have been converted to U.S. dollars and rounded.
