The KIAF is making great strides in the world market. As record sales reached an all time high last year, the KIAF has attracted a considerable number of European galleries especially from France and Germany. Charles Rump, a reporter from Die Welt (Germany), commented after having observed KIAF2005 that Korean art is a growing and potentially lucrative market. Also, Christian Fricke, a reporter from Handelsblad (Germany), wrote that Korea has for the first time formed an international group of contemporary art collectors.
Apart from the main exhibitions of 150 participating galleries, KIAF2006 will feature a special Paris-Seoul exhibition and forum to celebrate the 120th year Amity between Korea and France. This event will present at a larger scale a diverse range of around 3,000 artworks from renowned Korean as well as foreign artists such as Marc Chagall, Pablo Picasso, Kusama Yayoi, Joan Miro, Fang Lijun, Wang Du, Nam June Paik, Hwan Ki Kim, Chang Yeul Kim, Kwang Young Chun, U Fan Lee from various participating countries.
