Kim Keon hee, the art-loving First Lady of Korea and ‘K-culture salesperson,’ talks Mark Rothko and moon-jar diplomacy:

What would you like to see in terms of maturation and growth of the Korean art market on the international art scene? What would the ideal picture be?What I considered most important when I used to prepare exhibitions was making sure the visitors could understand the artist through the works and eventually find comfort and consolation in them.

Mark Rothko is one of my personal favorites, and in 2015—overcoming some challenges on the way—I managed to bring some of his works from the National Gallery of Art’s collection to Korea for an exhibition. In addition, I visited the National Museum of Asian Art in Washington, D.C. and Museum of Fine Arts Boston to view Korean cultural assets on display at each one and discussed their possible cooperation with Korean art galleries and museums.
