about the artist 
Lee Hun Chung (lives and works in Los Angeles and Seoul) is an artist who most vividly represents traditional Korean sensibility — through both his materials and his deep historical understanding. At the same time, he is one of its most experimental voices. Walking the borders between categories, he has forged a path that is uniquely his own. He is one of the earliest pioneers of art furniture. His work has been presented at R & Company NYC and many international art fairs including Design Miami, and has been collected by celebrities including Brad Pitt.

about this book   

Created in close collaboration with the artist, LEE Hun Chung: The Journey was born from his own vision — to make a book that felt less like a monograph and more like a workbook. True to that spirit, it is as much a part of his practice as the works inside it.

As the first official monograph of Lee Hun Chung, it traces his life and work across two decades. It is designed as a flip book with two covers — one side follows his journey chronologically, from art student to ceramicist, expanding into sculpture, installation, architecture, and design, and ultimately arriving at art furniture, covering the years 1986 to 2012. Flip it over, and the other side moves freely through time — sharing the artist's key principles through images and short words.
