Exhibition Dates:February 7May 20, 2018
Exhibition Location:The Met Fifth Avenue, Arts of Korea Gallery, Gallery 233
Press Preview:Tuesday, February 6, 10 a.m.12 p.m.
The Diamond Mountains‹perhaps the most iconic and emotionally resonant site
on the Korean peninsula‹is the theme of an international loan exhibition
that will open at The Metropolitan Museum of Art on February 7, 2018. Though
the region has inspired cultural pride since ancient times, its present
location in North Korea has kept it largely inaccessible in modern times.
Featuring nearly 30 landscape paintings from the 18th century to the
present‹from delicately painted scrolls and screens to monumental modern and
contemporary artworks‹Diamond Mountains: Travel and Nostalgia in Korean Art

o_9UgpB_2oraxkDrZTyeO-PTSk8J>  will present the visual imagery of this
emblematic site. The highlight of the exhibition will be an exquisite early
18th-century album‹a designated Treasure from the National Museum of
Korea‹by the master painter Jeong Seon (16761759), who revolutionized
Korean painting by breaking with conventional generic imagery and depicting
native scenery. The exhibition is the first in the West on this important
subject, and most of the works have never before been displayed in the
United States. 

The exhibition is made possible by The Met's collaboration with the Ministry
of Culture, Sports and Tourism of the Republic of Korea (MCST) and the
National Museum of Korea (NMK).

Diamond Mountains is part of a celebration marking the 20th anniversary of
the establishment of The Met's Arts of Korea Gallery, and the opening
coincides with the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea. The
exhibition will also include works by renowned painters such as Kim Hajong
(1793?) and Sin Hakgwon (17851866).

Diamond Mountains: Travel and Nostalgia in Korean Art will be accompanied by
a fully illustrated catalogue.

Support for the catalogue is provided by MCST and The Kun-Hee Lee Fund for
Korean Art. 

The exhibition is organized by Soyoung Lee, Curator in the Department of
Asian Art at The Met.
The exhibition is featured on The Met website
