Press Release

Lehmann Maupin Seoul is pleased to present In the Continuum by pioneering Korean artist Kim Yun Shin. Following her debut exhibitions in New York and London last year, this marks Kim’s first solo exhibition with Lehmann Maupin Seoul since her return to the country after four decades of living and working across Argentina, Mexico, and other parts of the world. The exhibition follows Kim’s landmark 2026 retrospective at the Hoam Museum of Art and garden project at Centre Pompidou Hanwha Seoul. Her growing international profile is further reflected in acquisitions by the Guggenheim Museum and Harvard Art Museums, her inclusion in RM x SFMoMA: Between You and Me, and the latest documentary Kim Yun Shin Punches In (2026), which screened at the Busan International Film Festival.

Bringing together historical and new works across the gallery’s two floors, In the Continuum explores the enduring relationship between material, physical gesture, and nature in Kim’s practice. Paintings, wood sculptures, and ‘painting-sculptures’ reveal a visual language that has remained consistent while continually evolving. Kim’s return to Korea has opened a new chapter in this longstanding practice, shaped by renewed encounters with the country’s landscapes and natural environment.

About the Artist

Kim Yun Shin received her B.F.A. from Hongik University in Seoul, South Ko-rea, in 1959 and studied sculpture and lithography at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris, France, in 1964. Returning to Seoul in 1969, she worked with artists to establish the Korea Sculptress Association while teaching sculpture at Sangmyung University. Despite having a successful career, the artist decided to move to Argentina in 1984 to expand her artistic practice. In 2008, Kim founded the Museo Kim Yun Shin in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
