Jungwook Kim (continued)

A few years ago i was looking for information on this Koresan artist and now…..by chance …. I stumbled upon the information wanted. This is what i can share now:

A graduate of Duksung Women’s University with a major in Oriental Painting, she has displayed her works in solo exhibitions at prestigious venues like Gallery Skape(2015), Gallery Fish(2004), Kumho Museum of Art(1998), as well as a multitude of group exhibitions, including Sejong Museum of Art(2020), Seoul National University Museum(2020), Suwon Museum of Art(2019), Jeongeup Museum(2018), Kumho Musseum of Art(2016), and the National Museum of Contemporary Art(2015).

Her creations have garnered recognition and been collected by prominent institutions such as the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Seoul Museum of Art, Seoul National University Museum of Art, OCI Museum, HOW Art Museum Shanghai (China), and Gyeonggi Museum of Modern Art.

With a diverse range of exhibitions and collections, her artistic journey has flourished and captivated the audiences, solidifying her position as a revered artist in the world of Oriental Painting.

Schermafbeelding 2017-09-03 om 10.21.20

It is now almost 2 years ago that i acquired a beautiful Korean painting at auction by Jungwook Kim for our collection, but beside the origins and original purchase place of the painting / Gallery Skape in Seoul and its original purchase price, it is impossible for me to find more information on the painting or the artist. My question is …who can help?

I need the following information.

  • A complete biography of Jungwook Kim
  • has anybody photographs of this artist and if so at work in the studio?
  • have there been museum or gallery presentations in Europe or US beside the Berlin and Istanbul ones?
  • Are there US or European museums that collect work by this artist

Any help and information is appreciated. Thank you….

Jungwook Kim……and Korean Art

jungwook-werkkamer

A few months ago i had the fortune to have the winning bid in auction for a large Jungwook Kim painting. ( see the above picture of my office)

Since,  i have been trying to find publications on this artist….so far none. This painting was originally sold at the Skape gallery in Seoul, who now know of its present whereabouts, but i am still looking for books, folders and information on this wonderful work of art.

Who can help?……….

 

It is not the first time i notice that there is a strong and lively artists mouvement in Korea. Lately at another auction i noticed another great work by Kang-Ik-Joong. An artist i did not know of either. But what a wonderful works he makes. becoming rather expensive now, but many of these artists must be on the verge of their international breakthrough. Will Korea become to new “China”for art collectors?
