[Korean Art in the U.S.] Virginia Museum of Fine Arts

The Korean Cultural Center Washington, D.C. (KCCDC) proudly announces the sixth and final episode of Korean Art in the U.S., presenting an expert-led virtual tour of the Korean Gallery on view at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts (VMFA). Guided by VMFA Curatorial Assistant William Neer, this final virtual tour in the popular online video series highlights exquisite artworks currently on view in the museum’s Korean gallery, including ceramics, metalwork, lacquerware, painting and contemporary works that collectively span more than 1,500 years. While key thematic presentations of the museum’s Korean art collection include the development of ceramics and techniques, Buddhist art, ritual services and outside cultural influences, this virtual tour takes a closer look at ten of the most significant objects from the current exhibition. Among them are a bronze foliate mirror from the 12th–13th century, an ornate 18th-century lacquerware inlaid with shimmering mother-of-pearl, 19th-century white porcelain vessels that would typically grace a scholar’s study or as offerings to a Buddhist temple, as well as an intricately painted 10-panel folding screen from the 19th century. VMFA’s growing collection of Korean art contains 200 diverse objects. The collection of ceramics, ranging from earthenware to celadon and white porcelain with underglaze cobalt decoration, began to develop in the 1970s. Since 2016, the museum has added more than 100 examples of Korean ceramic vessels and roof-end tiles dating from the Unified Silla (668–935), Goryeo (918–1392) and Joseon (1392–1897) dynasties. Other important holdings include traditional and contemporary paintings, metalwork, lacquerware, furniture and textiles. The VMFA Korean Gallery opened in 2012 with the support of the Korea Foundation. During a time of limited travel and in-person programs, Korean Art in the U.S. offers a new level of access to the richness and diversity of traditional and contemporary Korean art in American museums, through guided virtual tours of major exhibitions and rarely seen collections not currently on display.
