Korean art is going to New York.
The Korean Art Show, organized by the Galleries Association of Korea and Korea International Art Fair and supported by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, kicks off at La Venue in New York, tomorrow.
The show could not be better timed, as March is the when art fairs in New York come into full bloom. The Armory Show, SCOPE, PULSE, Red Dot and VOLTA will coincide with the Korean Art Show.
"This exhibition will be a milestone in introducing Korean art to an international audience and in giving recognition to the exciting and compelling contemporary art currently being produced in Korea. Our mission is to show the world the talent and unique vision of Korean artists while connecting them to international collectors from across the globe," said the organizers through statement.
Korean Art Show features 24 top-tier galleries from Korea including Gallery Hyundai, Gana Art Gallery, Leehwaik Gallery and Pyo Gallery.
More than 100 artists, ranging from the rising ones to veterans, will be exhibiting paintings, photographs, installation works and media arts.
The show will also promote KIAF 2010, which will be held this September in Seoul. KIAF is Korea's biggest art fair, and has been organized by Galleries Association of Korea since 2002. It has earned a global reputation as one of Asia's most promising art fairs.
Korean Art Show runs through March 7 at La Venue, New York. La Venue is located on the first floor of The Terminal Stores, 608 West 28th Street, New York. A shuttle bus runs from The Armory Show and SCOPE to Korean Art Show. Admission is $10.
