Alexander Calder's "Grand Crinkly," the giant spider form of Louise Bourgeois' "Maman," and Anish Kapoor's "Tall Tree and the Eye," whose sleek metal surface captures the surrounding landscape.
These are the works that have been displayed on the outdoor deck — the outward-facing open space — since Leeum Museum of Art, run by the Samsung Foundation of Culture, opened in Hannam-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul in 2004. A garden conceived as an installation work has now taken its place on the deck, where large-scale sculptures by world-renowned artists have stood in succession.
Leeum Museum of Art announced on the 30th that it will install and unveil "Gabriel Orozco Garden," a work by internationally acclaimed artist Gabriel Orozco (54), on its outdoor deck starting April 3. This marks the first time Leeum has undertaken a site-specific commission project in the form of a garden.
