Pace Gallery Seoul is presenting 《How Objects Grasp Their Magic》, an exhibition of two artists : Richard Tuttle and Choong Sup Lim, from February 11 to March 12 2022. Pace will examine the dialogues and divergenced between these two artists' practices and approaches to artmaking. They are known for their poetic works across various mediums such as drawing, painting, sculpture, collage, and installation. And both artists were influenced by Conceptualism, Pop, Minimalism, and Postminimalsim. While Tuttle investigates the physical properties of objects, Lim underlines personal narratives, and memories. As a storyteller, his works hold personal and collective histories. In 《How Objects Grasp Their Magic》, Tuttle's 20 sculptures and paintings created between 1991 and 2019, and Lim Choong Sup's works(paintings, drawings, installations) from 1989 to 2021 are exhibited.

About the Artist

Richard Tuttle (b. 1941, Rahway, New Jersey) has revolutionized the landscape of contemporary art, challenging rules and notions of genre and media. Using humble materials, he explores line, shape, color, and space in his practice. His work exceeds rational determinations, sensitizing viewers to perception and the unconscious while engaging aspects of painting, drawing, sculpture, bookmaking, printmaking, and installation. Tuttle’s work can be found in more than 50 public collections worldwide, including the Art Institute of Chicago; Centre Pompidou, Paris; Des Moines Art Center, Iowa; Fogg Art Museum, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts; Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, D.C.; The Israel Museum, Jerusalem; Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Humlebæk, Denmark; the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; The Museum of Modern Art, New York; National Gallery of Art, Washington D.C.; Staatliche Kunstsammlungen, Kassel, Germany; Tate, London; Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; and Yale University Art Gallery, New Haven, Connecticut. Tuttle lives and works in New York, New Mexico, and Maine.

Choong Sup Lim (b. 1941, Jincheon, Korea) earned his BFA from Seoul National University College of Fine Art in 1964 and moved to New York in 1973. He situates his prolific practice in between nature and civilization, engaging with the rural environment in which he grew up and the city in which he currently resides. Memories of his hometown in Korea and novel encounters in New York have inspired him to cultivate his distinct visual language and multidisciplinary approach to drawing, painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture, installation, and video. Lim has been the subject of numerous exhibitions—including a large-scale retrospective at the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Korea in Gwacheon in 2012—at prestigious international art institutions. Lim’s work is in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, D.C; Leeum, Samsung Museum of Art, Seoul; Seoul Museum of Art, Seoul; Gyeonggi Museum of Modern Art, Gyeonggi-do; Whanki Museum, Seoul; and other museums. Lim lives and works in New York.
