Description
The first comprehensive international exploration of the contemporary Korean artist's illustrious career.
Choi Jongtae stands as a key figure in South Korea's contemporary art scene.

The volume unfolds as a visual feast, showcasing Choi Jongtae's diverse and compelling body of work. This collection, encompassing both sculptures and paintings, is a testament to his unique artistic language. Choi's creations not only bear the mark of his Christian inspiration but also exude an unmistakable Eastern flair, providing viewers with an immersive experience that transcends cultural boundaries.
The volume is enriched with a series of inspiring images showcasing his studio, his artistic process, and highlights from some of his most distinguished exhibitions. These visuals provide readers with a comprehensive glimpse into the world of this master.
