Twenty-six of the works will be available for private sale, while the other seven are on loan.&#160;This first comprehensive group exhibition dedicated to this type of art in New York will feature artists Chung Chang Sup, Chung Sang-Hwa, Ha Chong-Hyun, Kim Whan-ki, Lee Ufan, Park Seo-Bo, Rhee Seundja, and Yun Hyong-Keun. To this group of painters, creating art is to form and conceive nature in their own minds, to return to nature and ultimately become one with it. Pursuing abstraction based on content and meaning, these Korean artists differ from Western formalist abstract artists, in that their work expresses the essence of Korean abstract art of forming nature.&#160;Private Tour of Dansaekhwa Korean Abstract Art Wednesday 14 October 2015, 5 pm (Update : Sold out)@ Christie’s New York    20 Rockefeller Plaza, New York, NY 10020This is a by-invitation only event.If you are interested in attending, please contact Jamie Tyberg or (212) 759-7525, ext. 321 with your name, company affiliation, and title/responsibilities included.
