Nancy Lang prices artwork at $18,000, calls it 'reasonable' for her career

South Korean artist and broadcaster Nancy Lang has revealed the prices of her artworks, with some pieces valued at 25 million won (approximately $18,000 USD) and others at 7 million won ($5,000 USD).

During an appearance on the YouTube channel 'Daktersin,' Lang discussed her recent solo exhibition, 'PLAY,' which runs for a month from July 12th. When asked about her strong image as a performance artist, she clarified that while performance art is a dynamic genre that garners media attention, her primary focus is painting.

Lang defended the pricing of her works, stating, "These are very reasonable prices considering my career." A graduate of Hongik University's College of Fine Arts with a major in Western Painting, Lang has a diverse artistic practice encompassing painting, performance, video, and fashion.

The artist has previously faced public scrutiny following her 2017 marriage to Wang Jin-jin. Controversy arose when Wang's claims of being the illegitimate son of a Hong Kong conglomerate were revealed as false, and his criminal history came to light. Lang filed for divorce the following year and was granted a divorce in 2021. She later disclosed on television that she had been left with approximately 1.5 billion won ($1.1 million USD) in debt due to the fraudulent marriage.
