[Asia Economy Reporter Park Byung-hee] International Gallery announced on the 18th that it will participate in the Art Basel Online Viewing Rooms held from the 20th to the 25th.

Art Basel recently canceled the 8th Art Basel Hong Kong due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Instead, Art Basel has newly launched an online platform to allow galleries that planned to participate in Art Basel Hong Kong to showcase their works first.

Mark Spiegler, the global director of Art Basel, said, "We designed the Online Viewing Rooms to expand the possibilities for galleries to engage with potential customers worldwide and to fulfill the essential requirement of interpersonal interaction in the art market."

Customers who want to use the Art Basel Online Viewing Rooms can access the Art Basel website or search directly for galleries, artists, and artworks through the Art Basel mobile application to inquire about sales. Starting next year, the Online Viewing Rooms will be held simultaneously with art fairs and will be operated more broadly as a space to showcase works not exhibited at the fairs.

International Gallery will present works by renowned contemporary artists, led by Korean artists, in the Art Basel Online Viewing Rooms.

Notably, it introduces Lee Ufan’s masterpiece of Dansaekhwa, "From Line (1982)," Park Seo-bo’s "Myobeop" series (2012), and Ha Chong-hyun’s "Junction" series (2001). Also, conceptual artist Kim Hong-seok’s sculpture "Untitled (Short People) - 6 balloons (2018)," which offers a new perspective on everyday life, will be featured.

Among overseas artists, the gallery will showcase Donald Judd’s refined artistic world with the "Untitled" series (1978), representing 20th-century contemporary art. Additionally, French contemporary artist Jean-Michel Othoniel’s Murano glass necklace work "Collier Or Blanc (2019)," Indian-born British sculptor Anish Kapoor’s "Mirror (Black Mist) (2018)," and the Berlin-based artist duo Elmgreen & Dragset’s golden massive tailbone-shaped work "Tailbone (golden) (2019)" will also be exhibited.
