Lee Ufan

Lee Ufan is a Korean-Japanese artist. He is a leading figure of the Mono-ha movement, which emerged in Japan in the late 1960s and emphasized the relationships between natural and industrial materials, space, and perception.

Lee Ufan moved to Japan in 1956 and studied philosophy at Nihon University in Tokyo. In the late 1960s, he began to create minimalist sculptures and installations that explored the interactions between natural and industrial materials such as stone, metal, and glass.

In addition to his work as a visual artist, Lee Ufan is also a noted writer and philosopher. He has written extensively on aesthetics, contemporary art, and Zen Buddhism.

Lee Ufan's work has been exhibited in major museums and galleries around the world, including the Guggenheim Museum in New York, the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, and the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Seoul. He has also been the subject of several major retrospectives, including exhibitions at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York in 2011 and the Centre Pompidou in Paris in 2014.
