Questions About Contemporary Korean Art
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 25, 2019

    Contemporary art denotes work created by 21st-century artists.

  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 13, 2024
    What the Korean art style is called varies because several different art forms have emerged from the country. In terms of pottery, Korea is known for the Jeulmun style, characterized by conical shapes and comb-like decorations, and the Mumun style, which is used to describe oversized, unadorned pieces. During the 1970s, a monochrome painting style called Dansaekhwa became popular among Korean artists and remains so to this day. The name for the Korean style of calligraphic art is Seoye. On 1stDibs, find a range of Korean art.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 21, 2024
    In contemporary art, conceptual art is a movement that began in the 1960s. Artists producing conceptual art assign more importance to the idea behind the art than to the piece itself. An example is Joseph Kosuth’s One and Three Chairs, a piece consisting of a real chair, a photograph of a chair and the dictionary definition of the word chair. When the work was displayed, Kosuth included instructions for any chair to be photographed and then displayed beside its image. In this way, the chair itself is not the artwork. Rather, the art comes from examining the way the object, image and words provide competing and complementary definitions of what a chair is. Find a large selection of fine art on 1stDibs.
