Sam Gilliam, the pioneer of Drape painting, is holding a solo exhibition at Pace Gallery Seoul, which will run until March 29, 2025.
The exhibition primarily features watercolors and Drape paintings created between 2018 and 2022.
During his service in the U.S. military in the 1950s, Gilliam was stationed in Yokohama, Japan, where he was deeply influenced by Japanese art and architecture.
Drawing on this experience, he sought a new approach to color and form, which influenced his artistic direction.
The exhibition will be open in Seoul until March 29, and will then be presented in Tokyo from March 7 to April 19, 2025.
Visitors will have the opportunity to experience the legacy Sam Gilliam has left on the contemporary art world.
