Lehmann Maupin Now Represents Guimi You, Will Show New Work at Art Basel Hong Kong and New York
The Facts
Lehmann Maupin announced its representation of Guimi You (b. 1985), a Korean artist known for ethereal paintings blending East Asian ink traditions with oil. The gallery will present new work by You at the forthcoming Art Basel Hong Kong fair and at a solo exhibition at its New York location in June, marking the artist's first major solo show with the gallery. You's work has been acquired by the High Museum of Art in Atlanta and included in museum exhibitions at the de Young Museum in San Francisco, the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne, the Columbus Museum of Art in Ohio, and the Institute of Contemporary Art in Miami. She continues to be represented by Jessica Silverman.
The Signal
You's appointment signals Lehmann Maupin's deepening engagement with artists who bridge Eastern and Western painting traditions, adding to a roster that includes Korean and international artists. Her practice, rooted in Korean pictorial traditions and translated through oil paint, resonates with collectors seeking contemplative, cross-cultural contemporary work. The simultaneous representation by two galleries—Lehmann Maupin in New York and Seoul, and Jessica Silverman on the West Coast—positions You for broad institutional and market support, as her recent museum acquisitions and upcoming exhibitions suggest accelerating demand.
