Artforum’s .thieu reviews 𝘚𝘶𝘬𝘪 𝘚𝘦𝘰𝘬𝘺𝘦𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘒𝘢𝘯𝘨: 𝘖𝘶𝘳 𝘚𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 at Tina Kim Gallery for the Summer 2026 issue.

Commemorating the one year anniversary of Suki Seokyeong Kang’s passing, 𝘖𝘶𝘳 𝘚𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 brought together works from the last decade of the artist’s life, showcasing Kang’s profound consideration of embodiment through sculpture and installation.

Sofia Thieu D’Amico writes, “Kang developed a landscape-centered practice that evolved into a spatial, associative mapping of terrain onto the body. Anti-monumental in scale and intent, her works resist gendered and hierarchical readings of land, aligning the pitch of a mountain with the slope of an elder’s spine.”

Coinciding with Frieze Week earlier this month, we were delighted to host a special panel discussion in celebration of Ha Chong-Hyun, on the occasion of his newly announced exhibition at the Asian Art Museum this fall—the artist’s first North American museum retrospective. Co-organized by Kukje Gallery and generously hosted at Dia Chelsea, the conversation featured three distinguished figures in modern and contemporary Korean art: Soyoung Lee (The Barbara Bass Bakar Director & CEO of Asian Art Museum), Sunjung Kim (Artistic Director of Art Sonje Center & guest curator of the upcoming retrospective) and Kyung An (Curator, Asian Art Initiative & Head, Global Exhibitions Initiative at the Guggenheim).

Moderated by Dia’s curator Jordan Carter, the discussion explored the range of Ha’s practice, spanning his early, lesser-known experimental phase, Informel and geometric abstraction, and his now-iconic 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘫𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 series; his foundational role within avant-garde networks in Korea; and his encounters and engagement with international art through print media and critics and fellow artists like Lee Yil and Lee Ufan. We are grateful to our panelists and to Dia for making this event possible, and excited by the enthusiasm leading up to the artist’s upcoming solo exhibition at the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco, opening September 25, 2026.

Tina Kim Gallery is pleased to announce its U.S. representation of the Estate of Kim Lim, a Singaporean-British sculptor and printmaker whose work constitutes a vital yet historically underrecognized contribution to postwar abstraction.

In a practice that stretched across four decades, Lim combined the seriality and restraint of Minimalism with an organic modulation and transcultural sensibility that set her apart from her contemporaries. Shaped by a life lived between Singapore, London, and extensive travels across Asia, Europe, North Africa, and the Americas, her work drew on a wide-ranging visual and intellectual inheritance that she translated into an abstract language of clarity and nuance.

The gallery will debut her work at Art Basel, Switzerland, this June and present a solo exhibition in spring 2027, marking the first solo presentation of her work in the U.S.

Last Chance: Today is the last day to visit our booth at TEFAF NY, featuring works by Pacita Abad and presented in parallel with the exhibition, 𝘗𝘢𝘤𝘪𝘵𝘢 𝘈𝘣𝘢𝘥: 𝘋𝘰𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘰 𝘓𝘪𝘧𝘦, at Tina Kim Gallery.

𝘙𝘦𝘴𝘶𝘴𝘤𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 (1997) comes from Pacita Abad’s 𝘈𝘣𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵 𝘌𝘮𝘰𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 series, which draws from her experiences collecting textiles in Indonesia. Greatly influenced by local garment and textile traditions like batik and ikat, Abad created this work using motifs, patterns, and color schemes she observed throughout her travels in Indonesia. Her adoption of these methods arose not only from an admiration of their craftsmanship and beauty, but also a sense of political solidarity with cultures that had endured colonial histories.

Kibong Rhee is featured this year at Tina Kim Gallery’s booth at TEFAF NY.

𝘋𝘦𝘦𝘱𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘌𝘮𝘱𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 (2026) is one of the artist’s latest renditions of his fog-shrouded landscapes, evoking an air of mystery where reality and illusion intermingle. Rhee’s vignettes appear suspended in an in-between state, either materializing or disappearing. Rather than aiming for perfect representation, the artist questions the very possibility of it—conveying the transient and incomplete nature of the world.

Repost from • ‘If you want to be an artist, you need to see the world’ - so artist Pio Abad () was told by his aunt, the trailblazing Filipino artist Pacita Abad. ⁠
⁠
For Art:LIVE, the younger Abad explains to Frieze’s Matthew McLean (), how his works shown by at Frieze New York explore a different way of ‘seeing the world’. ⁠
⁠
Also featured in the 2026 in Venice, Abad’s minutely detailed ink drawings juxtapose bronzes looted from the Kingdom of Benin with stacks of personal belongings from his own family home in London. This process of ‘over-remembering’ the forgotten also meditate on the presence of historical exploitation in everyday life. ⁠

Come visit Tina Kim Gallery’s booth at TEFAF to view the works of . A pioneering first-generation Korean fiber artist, Lee experimented with modern formal techniques, driving innovations in embroidery, dyeing, weaving, and tapestry.

Created during a formative moment in the Korean art scene—when the field of fiber art was still in development—𝘞𝘰𝘳𝘬 (1975) reflects Lee’s pivotal role in expanding the possibilities of her medium. In this period, Lee often repurposed fibers from sweaters and bedding, giving a second life to discarded materials and allowing her to customize each composition, as she braided the fibers into varying thicknesses. Owing to this unique approach, 𝘞𝘰𝘳𝘬 (1975) infuses the language of geometric abstraction with a distinctly lived-in sense of texture and materiality.

Today is the last day to see in Tina Kim Gallery’s booth at Frieze New York.

Drawing from archival research, speculative narrative, and the poetics of everyday life, Yin’s paintings reimagine personal and diasporic histories through carefully considered interiors and portraits depicted in luminous color.

In 𝘎𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘯𝘦𝘳 (2024), Yin envisions the act of gathering leftover crops as a metaphor for diasporic existence marked by colonial history yet sustained through acts of perseverance and recovery. The portrait depicts the artist’s friend Ad, a New York–based farmer who cultivates cheorwon odae—a Korean rice variety grown near Korea’s Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) and regarded as an emblem of regeneration and reunification after the war. Yin frames cultural survival as an active, ongoing process in which individuals draw on ancestral knowledge to reclaim fragments of heritage across generations.

Tina Kim Gallery is pleased to present works by Chung Seoyoung at Frieze New York. Chung’s work is also currently on view at the 59th Carnegie International, the longest running exhibition of international art in North America.

Our booth features A4-sized ceramics drawings that investigate the relationship between language and perception. 𝘎𝘰𝘭𝘥 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘝𝘪𝘰𝘭𝘦𝘵 (2023) presents as a simple yet color-rich drawing made with gold glaze, while 𝘛𝘛𝘗𝘈𝘔𝘚𝘚𝘌 (2023) incorporates words inscribed using glaze pencils and a ruler. The consonants, vowels, words, and phrases appear like remnants of form and sound, echoing Chung’s maxim—“When the object is cumbersome due to scale, I let drawing do the work”—the materiality of language is, in a sense, an abstract sculpture.
