The National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (MMCA) in Gwacheon, South Korea, is showcasing a permanent exhibition titled 'Korean Modern and Contemporary Art II', highlighting 100 years of Korean art from 1900 to the 1990s. The exhibition features 255 pieces, including portraits, landscapes, and works by modernist female artists. Notable features include 'Artist Rooms', dedicated spaces containing at least five works by a single artist, along with interviews and catalogs. This format allows deeper immersion into each artist's contributions. The exhibition, while comprehensive, arranges pieces primarily based on chronology rather than thematic unity, providing a broad overview of MMCA’s collection. Newly acquired pieces like Lee Bul’s 'Sternbau No.23' offer visitors a chance to see rarely displayed works. The exhibition underscores MMCA's commitment to rediscovering and filling gaps within its collection.
