Paris and New York-based Galerie Lelong & Co contemporary art gallery is participating in the first edition of Frieze Seoul. The selection of artworks for the fair consists of ten artists, including David Hockney and Marc Desgrandchamps.  

Many Korean collectors love David Hockney’s works since his first exhibition in Korea. He finds inspiration in his immediate surroundings, including his friends and family. Galerie Lelong & Co is presenting Pictured Gathering with Mirror (2018) and The Arrival of Spring in Woldgate, East Yorkshire, in 2011.
