HK Art & Antiques LLC is delighted to present Elegance and Simplicity: Bohnchang Koo and Geejo Lee during this season’s Asia Week New York.  One of the highlights is a photograph taken by Koo Bohnchang of blue-and-white porcelain bottles from the Korean collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum. For him, these wares echo the essence of the Joseon aesthetic. Because they are often stained, cracked, and worn from everyday use, they are a perfect subject through which to convey warm traces of human life. In this series, he highlights the pure beauty of Korea’s cultural heritage.

They look forward to sharing this enthralling piece and other fascinating works with you this week!
