Korea's transformation over the last thirty years has been unique
in the world and this is the most comprehensive English language
survey of contemporary art from Korea ever published 120 artists,
museum and gallery directors, curators and collectors are
represented in this lavishly illustrated book making it a vital
resource for both those in the know and readers wishing to acquaint
themselves with Korea's contemporary scene for the first time. As a
nation prospers, so does its art. Although Korean contemporary
artists take both global and local issues into account in their
work, what makes Korean art unique are its diversity and its
individuality, informed and enriched by rigorous experimentation
and cultural exploration. In recent years, Korean contemporary
art's vibrancy has been recognised in the international arena, with
artists such as Do Ho Suh, Kimsooja, Michael Joo and Koo Jeong-A
appearing as major figures. The book presents profiles of these
internationally recognised figures as well as of such up-and-coming
artists as Lee Yongbaek, Jeon Joonho, Moon Kyungwon and Nikki S.
Lee. Further texts also profile influential curators, as well as
the country's leading arts institutions, among them the National
Museum of Contemporary Art, Korea; Leeum, Samsung Museum of Art;
the Nam June Paik Art Center and the Seoul Museum of Art. The
Gwangju Biennale is also highlighted.
