Hello Hyung Il:
Thank you for your very informative response!
I should apologize, as I have missed to note that
I am mostly looking for information about the art
market as regards to *modern* art during the
colonial period. Japanese dealers and collectors
had certain motivations to collect antiques and
traditional arts, and also folk art, and nobody
has written more exciting analyses about these
topics than you (and Kim Brandt).
Buying and collecting Korean contemporary art of
that period was an entirely different story, as
you know. Misulsa nondan has, you mentioned it,
come out with a 700 pages strong special add-on
volume in 1999 with reprinted Korean and Japanese
press reports and essays that relate to the
government sponsored annual Chosen Art
Exhibition. A very helpful volume indeed. And
there are two other journals that deal with
various aspects of modern art -- Han'guk kûndae
misulsahak (1994- ) and Kûndae misul yôn'gu
(2004- ) -- but I have not yet seen any article
dealing with the market and collecting modern
art, with the only exception of some studies on
the development of the "museum" in Japan and
Korea.
Again thank you for your input.
Frank
