North Korean Images at Utopia

Image Exhibition

September 9 - December 12, 2008

Opening Reception
Tuesday, September 9, 2008

The Korea Society presents, for the first time ever in the United States, the art of North Korean woodblock printing. In an exhibition spanning the last three decades of North Korean artistry, North Korean Images at Utopia’s Edge features 24 prints from the Nicholas Bonner Collection. These prints offer a fascinating picture of North Korean conceptions of daily life and work, family and Fatherland. Four subject areas delineate the contours of North Korea’s vision of an earthly paradise: harmonious families, plenteous landscapes, male laborers and women at work.

Following its engagement at The Korea Society, North Korean Images at Utopia’s Edge will be available for travel to colleges, universities, galleries, and non-profit institutions across America.
