Tina Kim Gallery is delighted to present The Making of Modern Korean Art: The Letters of Kim Tschang-Yeul, Kim Whanki, Lee Ufan, and Park Seo-Bo, 1961-1982. Organized in conjunction with a landmark new publication of the same title, the exhibition brings to life the personal and intellectual exchanges between four pioneering artists who helped shape the trajectory of modern Korean art.

Ranging from personal reflections to critical dialogues on the future of Korean art, the letters reveal a shared vision and an unwavering commitment to championing one another on the global stage. The exhibition features major works alongside a selection of original letters, archival materials, and ephemera, tracing the evolution of their artistic styles and signature series during the years of their correspondence.
