Tradition Transformed: Contemporary Korean Ceramics

Tradition Transformed is a compelling exhibition that brings the finest of contemporary Korean ceramics to the countries of Europe. Assembled are 29 contemporary Korean ceramic artists whose pieces incorporate traditional techniques with new influences and innovative methods to create sculptural works. There are 87 works in the exhibition, both large- and small-scale, dating from the 1990s through 2006, with many created especially for the tour.

This enchanting exhibition takes you on a journey from the past into the present, recalling the history and beauty of the rolling hills and pastoral countryside of Korea, while geometric shapes, bold color and fresh designs dance on the ceramic works expressing the inventive and modern spirit of the Korean people.

Tradition Transformed was made possible by the generous support of The Korea Foundation, Seoul, with additional support from the Korean Craft Promotional Foundation, Seoul, and the Han, Hyang Lim Gallery and the Jay Lee Collection, Seoul. A fully illustrated exhibition catalogue accompanies the exhibition.
