BTS leader RM will showcase approximately 140 pieces from his personal art collection at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) beginning October 3, 2023. The exhibition, titled "RM x SFMOMA: Between You and Me," will run through February 7, 2027. This marks RM's first solo museum exhibition and SFMOMA's inaugural collaboration with a K-pop artist.
The exhibition will feature around 180 works, carefully selected by RM and the museum. Many of the pieces collected by RM will be exhibited in the United States for the very first time. "This is the first time I am sharing my collection under my own name," RM stated through his agency, BigHit Music. "I believe that few things can reveal a person as honestly as the collection they have built over a long period. In that sense, this exhibition will be a lengthy self-introduction."
RM's collection comprises a significant number of works by modern and contemporary Korean artists. While some of these artists' names might still be unfamiliar outside Korea, RM has been collecting with the intention of contributing to a more positive perception of Korean art.
