Kukje Gallery, initially founded in Seoul’s Insa-dong by chairman Hyun-Sook Lee in 1982, relocated in 1987 to its iconic K1 building in the heart of Sogyeok-dong, a neighborhood rich with historical and cultural context. Since its inception, Kukje Gallery has served as a vital cultural hub in Seoul, introducing important works by renowned modern and contemporary artists.
Major solo exhibitions have showcased the work of internationally acclaimed artists. At the same time, Kukje Gallery has been committed to educating collectors and institutions across the globe on Korean art history, as well as promoting the work of some of the nation’s most important artists. Also a regular participant in international art fairs including Art Basel, in which the gallery has taken part since 1998, Kukje Gallery remains deeply committed to establishing dialogue with international audiences previously unacquainted with Korean art. Equally as important, Kukje Gallery supports important postwar Korean artists. Internationally recognised as the leading champion of “Dansaekhwa (also known as the Korean Monochrome),” Kukje Gallery has introduced these seminal artists into the global art scene.
