《The Corner Museum 2: Korea》 summons 10 masters of Korean art from the 20th and 21st centuries to a corner of the room and persistently traces their lives and world of art. Ungno Lee, the world-class founder of the art world, Hye-seok Na, a new woman who shouted ‘Women are people too’, Whanki Kim, who recorded the highest price of 13.2 billion won in Korean art auction history, and Nam-june Paik, a pioneer of video art who was a master of all kinds of happenings and performances! Not only does it tell the stories of artists representing Korean contemporary art in an exciting way with unique and witty storytelling, but it also contains a total of 150 paintings, providing a more colorful and rich sight than any other Korean art book.

Caitlin Prescott from New York City, USA –
I approached the ‘Corner Gallery 2’ with a mix of curiosity and hesitation, given how saturated art narratives often seem these days. However, as I turned each page filled with vivid images and rich tales from artists such as Ungno Lee to Nam-june Paik, my skepticism dissolved into appreciation. The book deftly combines insightful commentary about socio-political influences alongside stunning visual displays—each artist’s journey is narrated not merely through their creations but also within cultural contexts that are incredibly pertinent even outside Korea. It’s an enriching exploration rather than just another gallery walkthrough—a celebration woven in texture and depth; thoroughly engaging for any lover of contemporary art.

Bij het lezen van “The Corner Museum 2” word je getransporteerd naar de levendige wereld van hedendaagse kunst, een amalgaam dat de geest en expressie weerspiegelt van meesterlijke kunstenaars uit twee eeuwen. De visuele verhalen die met elegantie zijn verweven, ontrafelen niet alleen hun techniek maar ook hun emotionele reis door geluid, kleur en verhaalvorm. Ieder schilderij fungeert als een venster waarin gevoelige thema’s zoals gendergelijkheid op fabelachtige wijze tot leven komen, resoneren bij elke penseelstreek of beweging binnen video-installaties die technologie omarmen voor creatieve communicatie. Een aanstekelijke collectie; lezers zullen met verlangen bladeren over meer dan zestig werkjes waarin sociale context glinstert naast artistieke innovatie.

Embarking on an exploration of artistic expression, *Corner Gallery 2* gracefully bridges the pulse of contemporary visionaries. This rich tome whispers tales from artist life arcs etched into landscapes barely traversed by time—there exists an urgency that amplifies their historical relevance against modern backdrops rife with complexity and innovation. As I sift through its luminous pages housing Whanki Kim’s sublime reflections and Nam June Paik’s magnetic breakthroughs in a realm electrified by imagery, every visual cue feels like confronting unfettered freedom itself—bursting boundaries not only in culture but evoking profound emotions intimately known to mankind.
