The beginning of the Korean wing on the second floor looked like a conceptualist exhibition...
...that belonged in a Museum of Modern Art...
...with pieces of blue tape and cheap looking photos on display instead of the usual thousand-year-old muted celadon ceramics.
On the Asian Art Museum blog, cristina explains:
"In preparation for the exhibition Poetry in Clay: Korean Buncheong Ceramics from Leeum, Samsung Museum of Art, museum staff have removed all of the permanent collection artwork from the Korean galleries and tucked them away in storage."
A new installation of contemporary Korean art devoted to vases...
...has just been installed in the remaining section of the Korean wing...
...and the mixture of ceramics, drawings and paintings are beautiful and thoughtfully displayed.
A highlight are a series of "Translated Vases" from 2007 made of celadon shards with gold gilt on their edges by Yeesookyung (below).
She also has some large-scale sculptures on the loggia level but there's no special signage so I missed them.
