Overview

Lehmann Maupin presents a two-part solo exhibition of work by pioneering Korean artist Kim Yun Shin, which will span both No.9 Cork Street and the gallery’s New York location. Growing up amidst the backdrop of Korea’s tumultuous history in the 20th century, Kim Yun Shin has established herself as a formative figure in the post-war South Korean art scene, overcoming societal norms to carve out a space for herself as a first-generation woman sculptor. The London component – which marks the artist’s debut exhibition in the United Kingdom – will present a survey of the artist’s oeuvre, including both paintings and sculptures from the 1990s to the present.
