LACMA, the largest art museum in LA, is facing criticism for exhibiting forgeries, including works by Lee Jung-seob and Park Soo-keun.
Korean art experts confirmed the forgeries in the exhibition “Korean Treasures from the Chester and Cameron Chang Collection” held at LACMA, leading to the cancellation of the exhibition catalogue.
This incident has raised questions about the museum's diligence process and understanding of Korean art, but the museum has not yet provided any response.
