A memorial exhibition for the 10th anniversary of the death of Korea's pioneering sculptor Yoon Young-ja

Translated from Korean Read in Korean

In commemoration of the 10-year anniversary of sculptor Seo Jung-yeol (1924-2016), two exhibitions have opened at the Seoul Paldal-dong Gana Art Center. The exhibition, titled "Star Like Remaining Names, Seo Jung-yeol Art Collection 10-Year Commemorative Exhibition" and "Seo Jung-yeol Sculpture Art Award Recipients," showcases the artist's key works and records.

Seo Jung-yeol, known as a pioneer in the Korean sculptural world, contributed to expanding the foundations of modern Korean sculpture. The first exhibition displays her major works and records from the 1940s when she started creating art, including abstract sculptures made of stone and metal materials. The second exhibition features the awards won by the 26 recipients of the Seo Jung-yeol Sculpture Art Award since its inception in 1989.

Seo Jung-yeol was a sculptor, educator, and art award founder who contributed to the development of Korean sculpture and public art.
