The mixed media art piece ‘Youth is Flower‘, which previously garnered attention as the first piece created by G-Dragon to be put up for auction, has been pulled from the auctioning list per the artist’s request.
Origintally, the piece was scheduled to be sold at the ‘Contemporary Art Sale‘ auction on March 29 at Seoul Auction Gangnam Center in Shinsa-dong. However, according to G-Dragon’s agency Galaxy Corporation, “After checking with the artist, we have learned that this piece was not put up for auction by the artist himself. The artist does not know the details behind this piece being put up for auction either, such as who put it up for auction.”
The mixed media art piece was created by G-Dragon in 2017 as a decorative piece for the cafe ‘2017 Untitled‘ at Jeju Shinhwa World. It was speculated that the bidding price for the piece would start at 30 million KRW (~ $23,000 USD).
