Actress Kim Hye-soo Sells Artwork at SOAF

The proceeds from the fair have risen 15 percent

The Seoul Open Art Fair, which continued from April 14 to 19, is estimated to have seen an approximately 15 percent increase in sales from last year. The fair had drawn particular attention because stars such as Kim Hye-soo and Shim Eun-ha displayed their artworks along with other artists.

The SOAF organizer said on April 20 that sales increased an estimated W600 million from a year earlier to W4.6 billion, and the number of visitors almost doubled from 25,000 to 48,000.

A SOAF staffer said, "Works by young artists were especially popular at the fair. A collage work by actress Kim Hye-soo was also sold for W5 million. And an increase in the number of visitors reflects people's growing interest in art".

According to another staffer, Kim will donate half of the money to help child patients with congenital myopathy, and the other half to other charities.
