Thaddaeus Ropac is to open its first Asian gallery, in Seoul, this October as the South Korean capital attracts increasing attention from the global art industry.
Located in Seoul's Hannam-dong district, the gallery will take over the first floor of the Fort Hill building, designed by Juhwan Park, which won both the Korean National Architecture Award and Seoul Architecture Award in 2011. Teo Yang Studio has been brought on by Ropac to design the interiors and the gallery will be led by Kyu Jin Hwang, Ropac's Asia director, who will continue to split her time between Seoul and London.
