서울시립미술관 SEOUL MUSEUM OF ART

Seoul Museum of Art celebrates 2016 with Showcase, a debut for the Museum’s new collection acquired in 2015. ‘Showcasing’ the new collection from the previous year is the Museum’s annual event. SeMA opens 2016 by exhibiting sixty select works ranging from paintings, drawings, photography, sculptures, installation, and new media carefully picked from 222 new pieces it has collected throughout 2015.

SeMA’s new collection is a balanced mix of late masters, renowned artists, established artists, and up-and-coming artists. Each piece is unique in subject and material. A total of 93 pieces, a whopping 42% of all artworks collected in 2015, have been donated from Korea and abroad, adding more color and depth to SeMA’s collection.

2015 SeMA collection Showcase crosses over genre and generations; it will be on display at the Exhibition Hall 2 and Photo Gallery 2 while Artist Han Yong-jin’s five stone sculptures will be placed in the Museum Square. Get a peek into the narrative of various artists who represent the social and cultural landscape of an era. World acclaimed video artist Paik Nam June and acclaimed artists invite the audience into a world of visual art, offering an insight into our world.

SeMA strives to establish a differentiated collection that befits a Glocal Museum that is both local and global and is approachable to the general public, while keeping the collection relevant and fresh. We ask for your interest and support for the annual ‘showcase’, a major highlight for the Museum that defines the institution’s color and direction.
