LEE UFAN’S EXHIBITION
NEWSText: julie morikawa
Lee Ufan’s exhibition has been held at the SCAI THE BATHHOUSE in Tokyo. It will be shown until March 5th.
Lee Ufan was born in Korea in 1936, and came to Japan in 1956. Active in the latter half of the 1960s as one of the leaders of Mono-Ha (“School of Things”), Lee’s work has continued to enjoy international acclaim ever since.
The Lee Ufan Museum opened on Naoshima Island in Kagawa prefecture in 2010. This museum, with architecture designed to harmonize with the artist’s work, rapidly gained a strong reputation as a space that provides a deeply satisfying experience of the world of Lee Ufan. The exhibition at the gallery introduces new works by Lee in advance of the Guggenheim retrospective.
