Pace Gallery Releases Lee Ufan Film on Park Young Sook, Exhibition Through August 14
On June 16, 2026, Pace Gallery released a film in its Artists on Artists series featuring Lee Ufan discussing the work of South Korean ceramicist Park Young Sook. Shot at Pace's Seoul gallery, the film explores Park's combination of modern firing techniques with Joseon Dynasty ceramic traditions, including her Moon Jars and porcelain vessels that have served as surfaces for Lee's painterly interventions. The artists' collaborations are on view in the exhibition "Park Young Sook: When Form Meets Gesture" at Pace's 267 Itaewon-ro gallery through August 14, 2026.
The Signal
The film and exhibition highlight a decades-long dialogue between two major Korean artists, with Lee Ufan—a leading figure in Dansaekhwa—and Park Young Sook collaborating since the early 1980s. For collectors, the presentation signals Pace's deepening commitment to Korean art and the growing market interest in contemporary ceramics that bridge tradition and painterly gesture. The pairing underscores how established galleries are using film and exhibition programming to contextualize cross-generational artistic relationships.
