The first real tests of the art market’s mettle this fall have officially wrapped up, though even with a few days breathing room since the art fairs wrapped, the state of the market is still a bit murky. The simultaneous offerings in New York at The Armory Show, Independent 20th Century, and Photofairs, juxtaposed with the sophomore edition of Frieze Seoul as well as Kiaf Seoul taking place halfway across the globe, meant that from collectors to gallery assistants to art media, most everyone involved in the art trade was scrambling.

The sales action seemed centered at Frieze, where dealers were more willing to share prices for sold works than at the stateside events. In keeping with recent Price Check reports, the majority of sales were reported from a small number of dealers, many of whom, to no one’s surprise, did swift business in the South Korean capital. There were precious few sales in the seven-figure range, perhaps nodding toward the shifting macroeconomics in Asia at large, and in the art world in particular.

Below, we’ve rounded up a list of reported sales from participating galleries at Frieze Seoul—though we can’t stress enough that this is based on the dealers’ own reporting, and should be read with that in mind.
