About the Exhibit:
This exhibition features approximately sixty works from the renowned collection of Leeum, Samsung Museum of Art in Seoul, Korea. Included in the exhibition are also select works by modern/contemporary potters, highlighting how the Buncheong tradition, which had disappeared in Korea for four hundred years, has been revived and transformed by today's artists. In addition, the exhibition features a handful of Edo-period Japanese ceramics from the Museum's permanent collection, illustrating Japanese revivals of the Buncheong idiom.
