A string of international blue-chip galleries that have made inroads into the Korean art scene in recent years through the opening of their Seoul outposts are kicking off 2024 with exhibitions spotlighting Korean-born creatives.
Following a splashy debut last year, Frieze Seoul returned to COEX in the ritzy Gangnam District in the southern part of the capital this week to offer another two-for-one art fair experience with its local counterpart Kiaf Seoul.
In tandem with the return of two leading art fairs - Frieze and Kiaf Seoul - at COEX in southern Seoul, Sept. 6, Korea will see a flurry of exhibition openings and late-night soirees at museums and galleries strewn across its capital city.
