Johyun Gallery

Since its founding in Busan, Korea in 1989, Johyun Gallery has been advancing Korean artists both at home and abroad, bearing witness to the majority of modern and contemporary Korean art history. The gallery presented seminal exhibitions of post-war and Dansaekhwa artists Park Seo-Bo, Chung Chang Sup, Kim Jong Hak, Kim Tschang-Yeul, and Nam June Paik prior to their global recognition. Since 2007, Johyun has expanded its program to include projects and representation of notable international artists including Yayoi Kusama, Claude Viallat, Bernard Frize, Daniel Knorr, and Bosco Sodi, as well as artists of the Korean diaspora such as Ahn Jisan and Jongsuk Yoon. Today, the gallery hosts over ten solo exhibitions across its two gallery spaces annually, with a continued commitment to defining the present and future of contemporary art both domestically and internationally, while taking into account its critical and historical context.
