About the Book

COLLISION, INNOVATION, AND INTERACTION: KOREAN ART FROM 1953 is the first book to survey the diverse developments of Korean art from 1953 to the present. Starting from the signing of the Korean armistice agreement, a tumultuous political climate beset the country, forever changing the pursuit of art for generations to come. This book will discuss the art movements and collectives that flourished and evolved through the past seven decades, covering the most important chapters in Korean contemporary art, from the avant-garde movements of the 1950s through the boom of the 1990s with the birth of the Gwangju Biennial, as well as the challenging relationship with the North Korean art scene.

About the Author :

The survey compiles key texts written by art historians, artists, and curators. Contributing editors include Dr. Yeon Shim Chung of Hongik University, an expert in Korean art history; Art Director Sunjung Kim of Art Sonje, Seoul; Dr. Kimberly Chung, specialist in Korean visual culture; and Dr. Keith B. Wagner of University College London, a scholar on global cinema, media, and visual culture.



Review :

"Lavish yet scholarly, this book is more than an important new chapter of an emerging world history of 20th-century art; it's a vital artistic genealogy of our planet's current cultural powerhouse." —The New York Times

"Korean Art From 1953 is the most significant English-language overview yet of modern and contemporary art on the peninsula. It overflows with abstract painting and political printmaking, feminist performance and on-the-street photography, and for each South Korean artist you know (like the video art pioneer Nam June Paik) there are a dozen to discover." —The New York Times

"From Lee Bul to Name June Paik, Do Ho Suh and Park Seo-Bo, the roots of Korea's thriving contemporary art scene are deeply embedded within the country's complex historical narratives. A new book by Phaidon chronicles these developments, largely omitted from western art history, combining contributions from leading Korean scholars alongside works that reflect the country's tumultuous recent history."—HERO magazine

"Global scholars and art specialists amass the first comprehensive look at North and South Korean art after the Korean War."—The New York Times Book Review

"Thoroughly tracing the relations of the nation's history and culture in chronicle order, it sets a thick foundation of Korean art in the global art world."—The Seoul Review
