For Art Basel Miami Beach, Tina Kim Gallery will feature a presentation of works by our artists that span across the globe and generations. Artists include the prolific Pacita Abad, known for her vibrant trapuntos born out of her peripatetic life of social engagement and advocacy — many of which are currently on view at the SFMOMA for her traveling North American retrospective, that began at the Walker Art Center and will continue at MoMA PS1 in 2024. Seminal Asian American sculptor Minoru Niizuma, known for his carved stone works that sit at the edge of minimalism and symbolic figuration, will be presented. Busan, Korea born, Colorado-based artist Maia Ruth Lee, will present new work born out of long standing concerns on migration, diaspora, and borders. There will also be works from the estate of Kang Seok Ho (1971-2021), whose innovative paintings endeavor to redefine the boundaries and structure inherent to the realm of painting, thereby leaving a deep mark in the space of contemporary Korean painting.
A new bronze sculpture by Ghada Amer, whose solo exhibition Paravent Girls is currently in our New York space, alongside her embroidery paintings and text work will be on view. Mire Lee, who has recently closed her first US solo exhibition at the New Museum; Tania Pérez Córdova, whose solo exhibition Generalization is at the New York’s SculptureCenter; and Suki Seokyeong Kang, widely noted for her inventive exploration of ideas and motifs from Korean folk traditions, whose long-anticipated solo exhibition Willow Drum Oriole, opened this September at Leeum Museum of Art, will all be represented in our booth. We will present our historical Dansaekhwa artists, such as Park Seo-Bo, Kim Tschang-Yeul, Ha Chong-Hyun, and Kwon Young-Woo. Our presentation of these artists coincides with Only the Young: Experimental Art in Korea, 1960s-1970s at New York’s Guggenheim Museum, slated to travel to the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles in February 2024, as well as Lineages: Korean Art at The Met which recently opened at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art.
