Lee Ufan Exhibition

This event has ended.

Media: Painting, Drawing, Sculpture

PaceWildenstein presents Lee Ufan’s first American exhibition of work in a two-venue show at 32 East 57th Street and 534 West 25th Street. At 534 West 25th Street, new paintings from 2007-08, a wall drawing, and four iron and stone sculptures created in 2008 will be on view. Since the 1990’s, Lee has used the term “Relatum” to describe his three-dimensional works. Abandoning the traditional term “sculpture” he uses “Relatum” to suggest an individual element within a relation. Rather than the closed network that a relationship implies, a Relatum suggests a sense of openness, allowing the works to adapt to different contexts. Lee often attaches an additional subtitle to the work in order to conjure more specific interpretations.
