Art platform Art.ness unveils a New Year curation aimed at first-time collectors, themed “the first artwork for your space.” The program highlights three motifs: traditional moon jars (달항아리), contemporary art toys, and a dynamic red horse motif celebrating the 2026 Year of the Fire Horse (병오년). The selection focuses on entry-level original works and editions starting around 200,000 KRW, combining artistic value with collectability. Featured artists include ceramicist Choi Young-wook (known for moon jars) and modern creators like Surea. A strong art toy lineup targets MZ generation and first buyers, spotlighting a KAWS piece inspired by The Mandalorian — KAWS is noted as a top-tier art toy creator collected by celebrities such as BTS’s RM and Big Bang’s GD. Art.ness emphasizes lowering barriers to collecting through accessible price points, special content (including an in-depth interview series), an Instagram Live studio visit on Jan 21, and a promotional campaign announced on YouTube with tiered Art.ness point rewards for purchases through Jan 31. The platform plans continued engagement with events like a February artist talk to foster dialogue between artists and collectors.
