Since its opening in 2001, PKM Gallery has reinforced its position through exhibition programs featuring major artists leading the art scene both domestically and internationally. As one of Asia’s leading galleries, PKM has showcased artists at prestigious art fairs such as Art Basel in Basel, Hong Kong, and Miami Beach; Frieze London, Seoul, and Masters; TEFAF Maastricht and New York; and FIAC, among others.
Korean contemporary artists represented by PKM, including Cody Choi, Koo Jeong A, and Young-In Hong, have gained significant recognition in the international art scene. Their works, which explore themes of public consciousness and social issues, have expanded the conceptual landscape of contemporary art. These artists have been featured in major art events such as the Venice Biennale, the São Paulo Biennial, and the Triennale di Milano, further solidifying their global presence.
As the awareness of Korean art grew in the 2010s, PKM focused on rediscovering the historical and market value of Korean modern masters such as Yun Hyong-keun, Chung Chang-Sup, and Kwon Jin Kyu. Suh Seung-Won, a founding member of Korea’s first geometric abstract group, is also gaining global recognition for his work and artistic narrative. With the recent addition of the estate of Yoo Youngkuk, a pioneering figure in Korean abstract art, PKM Gallery now represents a broader range of postwar masters than ever before.
In addition, PKM has organized large-scale exhibitions featuring renowned artists such as Bruce Nauman, Gabriel Orozco, Olafur Eliasson, Jorge Pardo, and Thomas Ruff, each of whom holds a significant place in the global art scene. The gallery continues to reflect current trends in contemporary art and introduce them to a wider audience.
