White Cube Returns to Frieze Seoul With Hatoum, El Anatsui, Baselitz; Marina Rheingantz Solo Show Opens Concurrently
The Facts
White Cube is returning to the fifth edition of Frieze Seoul, taking place from September 2 to September 5, 2026, with works by a roster of international artists including Mona Hatoum, El Anatsui, Georg Baselitz, Sara Flores, Theaster Gates, Marguerite Humeau, Park Seo-Bo, Tesfaye Urgessa, Marina Rheingantz and Danh Vo. Opening concurrently at White Cube Seoul is "Míope," Marina Rheingantz's first solo exhibition in Korea, which debuted new works created in the artist's São Paulo studio over the past year. The exhibition takes its title from the Portuguese word for "nearsighted" and includes paintings and textile works that combine aerial viewpoints with shifting macro- and microscopic perspectives through abstract mark-making. White Cube's return to Frieze Seoul follows its participation in major art fairs, including Frieze London (October 14–18, 2026) at The Regent's Park, and Art Basel in Basel and New York.
The Signal
The dual presentation—a high-profile fair booth and a solo gallery show—underscores White Cube's strategic commitment to the Korean market at a moment of deepening engagement between Western blue-chip galleries and Seoul's growing collector base. Rheingantz, a Brazilian artist with a rising international profile, is positioned by the gallery as a figure whose work bridges ecological observation and abstraction, a theme resonating across Latin American and Asian art audiences. For collectors tracking gallery programs, the pairing signals that White Cube views Seoul not merely as a fair destination but as a sustained platform for artist development, with Rheingantz's institutional solo debut reinforcing her long-term market trajectory.
