Contemplate the exquisite beauty of Korean art from across time. Meot celebrates the expansive Korean art collection of generous art patron Frank Bayley (1939â2022) and the friendships he shared with seven internationally renowned Korean contemporary artists. Artworks by each of these artists are set in dialogue with historical works of similar mediums and techniques, revealing how traditional forms have evolved and transformed across centuries.
Featuring over 60 artworks, including an array of ceramicsâBuncheong ware, whiteware, and blue-and-whiteâalongside paintings, photography, calligraphy, and wooden works, Meot reveals Bayleyâs unique collecting vision, as he admired both the continuity and innovation within traditional artworks as well as contemporary artistic expressions of Korean art.
Meot is guest curated by Hyonjeong âHJâ Kim Han, Joseph de Heer Curator of Arts of Asia at the Denver Art Museum.
