Elegance & Nobility: Modern & Contemporary Korean Literati Taste

In summer 2014, the JSMA will install a small selection of 20th–21st century Korean calligraphy, paintings, and ceramics, including recently acquired porcelain vessels by KIM Yikyung (born 1935) and LEE Young-Ho (born 1977). The centerpiece will be the museum’s exquisite Ten Chinese Poems screen by master calligrapher JUNG Hyunbok, a tours-de-force of expressive brushwork that will be the focus of an upcoming JSMA publication.
