The experimental art scene that struck post-war Korea in the 1960s and 1970s like a meteorite is a buried chapter of history that deserves to be revisited - or, for most of the world, newly discovered.
The National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Korea (MMCA) has unveiled its plan to “accelerate the promotion of Korean art” in 2023 through its strengthened partnerships with art institutions in the United States, Mexico, Australia and China.
Against the backdrop of the bullish growth of Korea s art market, which surpassed a 1 trillion won ($786 million) mark for the first time in 2022, major museums and galleries are seeking to dazzle their visitors this year with blockbuster exhibitions and showcases of boundary-pushing creators.
