Art Basel Miami Beach: Meridians: Booth M2

Dec 6–8, 2024 | Preview: Dec 4–5

  • Tina Kim Gallery is delighted to present an installation for the Meridians sector featuring a group of large-scale tapestries from the 1980s by Korean fiber artist Lee ShinJa. With a career spanning over six decades, Lee is recognized in Korea as a pioneering artist who has redefined the boundaries of her medium. In 2023, these tapestries were highlighted in her highly anticipated retrospective at the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (MMCA) in Gwacheon, Korea. Combining a painter's sense of freedom with virtuosic technical precision, Lee interweaves colored threads to capture the ephemeral nature of light, translating its fleeting quality into cascading, abstract forms.
