The show features 127 pieces, most of them large oil and acrylic paintings. Other pieces include ceramics, woodblock prints and the blocks used to make them, which the artist regarded as separate pieces.

Paintings from the early 1960s, categorized by the artist herself as “Woman and the Earth” and a series of geometric abstract paintings called “Yin and Yang,” are also on display. The last part of the exhibition features Rhee’s cosmic paintings “Road to the Antipodes.”

Admission is 2,000 won ($1.77).
