Kukje Gallery has been a pivotal cultural hub in Seoul, Korea since its inception in 1982. Committed to showcasing both international and Korean artists, Kukje is widely celebrated for its diverse and ambitious programming. Specializing in modern and contemporary art, Kukje is very often the first venue presenting prominent artists in Korea and major exhibitions have been staged to introduce leading international artists such as Alexander Calder, Louise Bourgeois, Donald Judd, Anish Kapoor, Bill Viola, Roni Horn, Candida Höfer, Julian Opie, Ugo Rondinone, and Jean-Michel Othoniel. In conjunction with its focus on international artists, Kukje’s enduring commitment to postwar Korean masters including Ha Chong-Hyun, Lee Ufan, Chung Chang-Sup, Kwon Young-Woo, and Park Seo-Bo, along with succeeding generations of important Korean artists including Kim Yong-Ik, Kimsooja, Park Chan-kyong, and Haegue Yang, affirms the gallery’s critical role in introducing Korean artists to important collectors, museums and cultural venues around the world.
