The Kukje Gallery, founded in 1982 by Hyun-Sook Lee in Seoul, is an important institution for modern and contemporary art. Originally located in Insa-dong, it moved to the iconic K1 building in Sogyeok-dong in 1987.
The gallery has made a name for itself by presenting works by internationally recognized artists such as Louise Bourgeois, Anish Kapoor and Jean-Michel Othoniel. It has also dedicated itself to the promotion of Korean art, particularly the Dansaekhwa movement and its artists.
