Wooson Gallery was founded in 2012 in the cultural district ‘Bongsan Culture and Art Street’ in Daegu, South Korea. The gallery building was newly constructed in the same year, specially designed for presentations of contemporary artworks. Wooson Gallery sees its principal mission in introducing great artists of our epoch into the Korean art world and museological integration of their work in Korea. In doing so, the gallery promotes a new communication between art lovers and professionals such as critics and scholars. Simultaneously, the gallery helps audiences to establish an authentic modern visual culture, contributing them to create contemporary collections with a high standard of knowledge of international art production.

Including the Korean masters like CHUNG Sang-Hwa, HA Chong-Hyun, LEE Kang-So, CHOI Byung-So, and LEE Bae, the gallery collaborates with numerous significant international artists such as Jannis KOUNELLIS, Tony CRAGG, Sean SCULLY, Dennis OPPENHEIM, Barthélémy TOGUO, among others to present high-quality exhibitions.
Wooson Gallery continues not only to focus on great masters but also to introduce and promote young talented emerging artists to the global art scene through different international activities and collaborations. Each exhibition is accompanied by an earnest publication with critical academic essays so that releases become an essential material to promote and encourage the young talented artists in Korea.
WOOSON Gallery participates in select international art fairs, including Art Basel Hong Kong, Art Busan, Art Paris Art Fair, Drawing Now Paris, Art Taipei, Daegu Art Fair, and the KIAF.
