Press Release

Lehmann Maupin is pleased to return to the fifth edition of Frieze Seoul with a solo presentation of works by renowned Korean artist Do Ho Suh, coinciding with the gallery’s 30th anniversary. Suh, whose first solo New York exhibition was presented by Lehmann Maupin in 2000, has been represented by the gallery for nearly three decades. The presentation follows a landmark year for Suh, including the unveiling of Jagyeong Hall, Gyeongbok Palace, a site-specific installation for the new David Geffen Galleries at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Concurrent to Frieze Seoul, Suh’s major survey will be on view at the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Korea running through February 2027.

Anchored by the artist’s ongoing exploration of identity, belonging, memory, and home, the fair presentation includes earlier works like Who Am We?—a phrase that is grammatically correct in Korean but intentionally disorienting in English. The expression encapsulates Suh’s longstanding inquiry into the relationship between the individual and the collective, and the ways in which personal identity is shaped through family, community, and place.

About the Artist

Do Ho Suh (b. 1962, Seoul, Korea; lives and works in London, New York and Seoul) works across various media, creating drawings, film, and sculptural works that confront questions of home, physical space, displacement, memory, individuality, and collectivity. Suh is best known for his fabric sculptures that reconstruct to scale his former homes in Korea, Rhode Island, Berlin, London, and New York. Suh is interested in the malleability of space in both its physical and metaphorical forms, and examines how the body relates to, inhabits, and interacts with that space. He is particularly interested in domestic space and the way the concept of home can be articulated through architecture that has a specific location, form, and history. For Suh, the spaces we inhabit also contain psychological energy, and in his work he makes visible those markers of memories, personal experiences, and a sense of security, regardless of geographic location.
