This exhibition is organized into themed spaces, combining previously unreleased pieces from the Daelim Cultural Foundation’s collection with private collections from individual collectors, resulting in a multidimensional and rich presentation. It offers a broad perspective on various genres, from world-renowned masters to emerging artists, and from traditional crafts to fine art.
The Split House (SPLIT HOUSE) in M2 is a space based on natural and profound "Mocha Mousse" colors, featuring beige and brown tones. It pursues "comfort," "connection," and "harmony" alongside classic masterpieces. Notable works include Kim Changyeul’s "Waterdrops ENS 204" (1979), which captures the purity of existence within clear droplets, and "Recurrence SH97017" (1996). Visitors can also view major pieces by Lee Ufan, a master of Korean abstract art, such as "With Winds" (1992) and "Correspondence" (1993), as well as ceramics by Pablo Picasso and paintings by Daniel Richter.
The Terrace House (TERRACE HOUSE) in M3 visualizes the modern attitude of seeking order and balance through repeated habits amid a noisy daily life-what it calls "Self Ritual"-through paintings and design furniture. The space features Ha Chonghyun’s "Conjunction 93-011" (1993) and "Conjunction 93-024" (1993), as well as works by Koen Tas, who establishes order through overlapping images; Olafur Eliasson, who leads immersive experiences with nature and light; Georges Rousse; and Kim Youngtaek.
The Duplex House (DUPLEX HOUSE) in M4 is inspired by the style "Retro Future," where retro sensibilities and futuristic imagination coexist, creating a space marked by bold colors and a playful atmosphere. Nam June Paik’s representative works "Apple Tree" (1995) and "Happy Hoppi" (1995), which break down the boundaries between technology and art, are being shown together for the first time in over five years. The space also features Roy Lichtenstein’s "Imperfect Paintings" (1988), Hernan Bas’s "The Expulsion (or, The Rebel)" (2011), and "A Landscape to Swallow You Whole" (2011), alongside design furniture from various genres.
A representative from D Museum stated, "Through this exhibition, visitors will have a special opportunity to experience a wide spectrum of works and collections in one place, and to feel how art can permeate everyday life."
A 50% discount event will be held until October 12.
