Korean Artists Gain Global Recognition

Published on 6.4.25

  Korean art exhibitions have been gaining international recognition in recent years, with various events showcasing the diverse talents of Korean artists. The upcoming Frieze Seoul in September 2024 will feature a mix of major international galleries and prominent Asian galleries. In addition to these international participants, Korean galleries such as Arario Gallery, Gallery Hyundai, and Kukje Gallery will also be joining forces with David Zwirner, Esther Schipper, Gagosian, and Hauser & Wirth. This collaboration highlights the growing presence of Korean art on the global stage. Jinyoung Anna Jin's work challenges the common labels associated with Korean artists by emphasizing their artistic achievements. Byungjun Kwon aims to break away from passive performances and create immersive experiences that engage viewers. The success of exhibitions such as "The Radiance" at the Seoul Museum of Art (SeMA) demonstrates the growing recognition of Korean artists globally, with their works featured in museum programs in London and Singapore. The Frieze Seoul event will also coincide with "Night" events across Seoul's galleries and museums, including a solo exhibition by artist Lee Bul at the Leeum Museum of Art.
