Special Storage: National Museum of Contemporary Art Drawings and Contemporary Japanese Prints
특별수장고: 국립현대미술관 드로잉·일본 현대 판화 소장품
The Special Storage gallery at the National Museum of Contemporary Art in Cheongju showcases the museum's drawing collection since 2020, featuring landmark works such as « Boy » (1943-1945) by Lee Joong-seop and « Village Scene » (1956) by Park Soo-keun, which reveal each artist's formal consciousness and experimental process. This exhibition expands perspectives by presenting contemporary Japanese prints alongside Korean works, highlighting how printmaking evolved beyond mere reproduction into genuine artistic creation, particularly during the 1970s-80s under influences of pop art and contemporary art movements. Visitors encounter refined expressions and original experiments through a diverse selection of Japanese prints from this transformative period.
