The Facts
On September 18, 2026, Lisson Gallery announced a panel discussion organized in partnership with ArtReview, reflecting on the concurrent exhibition of Ha Chong-Hyun. The event will take place on Tuesday, October 13, 2026, from 11am to 1pm at Lisson Gallery, 27 Bell Street, London. Speakers include Sook-Kyung Lee, Director of the Whitworth, University of Manchester, and Wenny Teo, Senior Lecturer in Modern and Contemporary Art at the Courtauld. The conversation will be moderated by Mark Rappolt, Editor-in-Chief of ArtReview. Ha Chong-Hyun, based in Seoul, has gained international recognition for challenging painting conventions through a sustained exploration of process, structure, and material, from his early Naissance series to the Conjunction paintings and later Post Conjunction works.
The Signal
The panel, held during Frieze Art Fair week, provides a focused opportunity to examine Ha Chong-Hyun's six-decade career and his place within postwar abstraction. For collectors and curators, the discussion offers insight into the artist's material-driven practice, which has evolved from pushing paint through hemp canvas to exploring color and spatial rhythm. The partnership with ArtReview signals the gallery's effort to contextualize Ha's work within broader art historical narratives, potentially reinforcing his market standing as a key figure in Korean and international contemporary art.
