The Hangaram Art Museum at the Seoul Arts Center presents the world’s first and largest retrospective of Katherine Bernhardt, an artist who continues to forge a distinctive path in the contemporary art world with her bold and uninhibited visual language.

This comprehensive showcase brings together around 140 paintings and sculptures, tracing Bernhardt’s artistic journey from her early 2000s supermodel series to her newest works, created especially for this exhibition in Korea.

The exhibition unfolds across five thematic sections, arranged chronologically to highlight key periods in her life and work. The final section features a large recreation of her studio in St. Louis, Missouri, where some of her newest works will be unveiled to the public for the first time.

This exhibition invites viewers to reflect on her fearless, bold painterly approach and offers a moment to reconsider how we perceive visual language in our everyday lives through the experience of contemporary art.
