ALTERNATIVE DREAMS

100TH ANNIVERSARY OF KOREAN MODERN MASTER: YOO YOUNGKUK

MMCA Deoksu Palace, Jung District

To March 1:
This is the largest-ever retrospective of Yoo Youngkuk, (1916-2002), one of the leading pioneers of Korean abstract art. About 100 of his paintings on view show both cosmopolitan qualities and the artist’s personal characteristics with their unique color schemes and geometric shapes. Although they are all abstract paintings, they are “reminiscent of the deep water, rugged mountains, clear valleys, and red sun of his hometown Uljin, North Gyeongsang,” as Kim In-hye, curator of the exhibition, pointed out.

Admission is 3,000 won ($2.50) for adults. It includes the Deoksu Palace admission, which is 1,000 won. The palace is closed on Mondays. Go to Seoul City Hall Station, line Nos. 1 and 2, exit 10 and walk for five minutes.
