TEFAF New York 2026: Booth 358

Tina Kim Gallery returns to TEFAF New York with a selection of artists from our program who helped define the postwar period of Korean art, as well as other influential figures from the twentieth century and beyond.

Our booth will highlight pioneering Dansaekhwa figures Park Seo-Bo (1931–2023) and Kwon Young-Woo (1926–2013), with a special focus on Ha Chong-Hyun (b.1935). In anticipation of Ha’s first-ever North American museum retrospective—set to open at the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco this September—our presentation includes early and recent examples of the artist’s acclaimed Conjunction series. Additionally, the hyperrealistic water droplet paintings of Kim Tschang-Yeul (1929–2021) will be featured along with the work of fiber artist Lee ShinJa (b. 1930), who joined Tina Kim Gallery in 2024 and had her first North American institutional solo exhibition this past year at the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive.

Accompanying this selection, our booth will present a curated assemblage of works by acclaimed twentieth-century and contemporary artists, including the liminal, fog-veiled landscapes of Kibong Rhee (b. 1957), small paintings and sculptures by French American artist Louise Bourgeois (1911–2010), and the minimalist stone-carved forms of Japanese American sculptor Minoru Niizuma (1930–1998).

Our presentation also includes a work from the Door to Life series produced by Filipina American artist Pacita Abad (1946–2004), inspired by her trip to Yemen in the spring of 1998. More works from this series are currently on view in our gallery exhibition, Pacita Abad: Door to Life, further shedding light on the artist’s vibrant and multicultural oeuvre.
