As an admirer of Elizabeth Keith and her work, Professor Young-Dahl Song found himself reading everything about the artist and collecting her artwork with a fervor—a portion of which is currently on display at The Korea Society Gallery. In this Gallery Talk, Professor Song will discuss the evolution of his Keith collection, his research into Keith’s unique relationship with Korea, and his involvement with the artist’s surviving family members. He will explore Keith as an intrepid traveller and interpreter of Korea and its peoples.
