Lehmann Maupin returns to Frieze Seoul with a presentation that foregrounds the gallery’s artists from Korea, including Kim Yun Shin, Lee Bul, Do Ho Suh, and Sung Neung Kyung. Together, this intergenerational group of artists reflect a thriving and deeply rooted artistic environment in Seoul and international recognition beyond—each of these artists are celebrating a major milestone this year, from Kim’s participation in the Venice Biennale, to Lee’s new site-specific commission at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, to Sung’s first solo exhibition in New York opening at Lehmann Maupin this October, and Do Ho Suh’s upcoming solo exhibition at the Tate Modern in London in 2025.
At the fair, a focused selection of contemporary paintings (from 2011) and a selection of sculptures in wood and bronze by Kim Yun Shin will anchor the presentation. Kim’s sculptural practice engages with the fundamental qualities of materials and nature, navigating themes of confrontation, introspection, and coexistence. Historically, Kim’s sculptures use solid wood as their primary medium and are deeply rooted in traditional Korean hanok architecture, which uses a distinctive technique that joins wooden blocks without nails. Her more recent painted sculptures, cast in bronze, function as an expression of the artist’s spiritual energy. Her paintings are marked by distinctive surface fragmentation; across her compositions, large sections gradually divide into smaller shapes. The resulting artworks evoke a primordial energy, at once expansive and concise, concentrated and diffused. Concurrent to the fair, Kim’s work is on view in Foreigners Everywhere, the 60th International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia.
