Specialist note

Since his graduation from The Chelsea College of Art and Design in 2006, Lee Sea-Hyun's works have been pursued by prominent art institutions, including the Uli Sigg Collection and the Burger Collection in Zurich. In his masterpiece Between Red-134 (Lot 2404), Lee revitalizes the cultural traditions with his creativity. He deliberately contrasts the whiteness of negative space solely with vivid redness. The monochromatic colour tone projects of his conception of scenery in face of the political climate and the rapid development of Korea.
