[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] The fashion edit shop Shinsegae Boon the Shop announced on the 1st that it will host the first non-auction exhibition by the world-renowned auction house Christie's in Korea from the 3rd to the 5th of next month at the basement level 1 of Cheongdam N Building.

This exhibition is a two-person show featuring Francis Bacon and Adrian Ghenie, icons representing 20th-century art, showcasing a total of 16 works. Visitors can appreciate the masterpieces of these two great artists, whose combined value exceeds 440 million dollars (approximately 580 billion KRW), at a level comparable to professional art museums.

The exhibited works focus on pieces that have been difficult to encounter until now. Among Francis Bacon's works, the exhibition includes highly special pieces such as "Study for a Portrait II" and "Study for a Pope I," as well as Adrian Ghenie's works depicting the violence and oppression of World War II and cultural violence, including "Eyelidless Eye" and "Collector 3." The Christie's exhibition is available for viewing through reservations on the official website and is free of charge to offer the joy of art appreciation to both enthusiasts and the general public.

Shinsegae Boon the Shop is evolving into a total edit shop by introducing various lifestyle brands beyond fashion. In July this year, it collaborated with Gallery Hue to present a special exhibition featuring media art, paintings, sculptures, and installations by over 40 prominent domestic and international artists in a space of approximately 300 pyeong.

A Shinsegae Department Store official said, "Boon the Shop, which has led trends as Korea's first fashion edit shop, is taking a step forward by adding lifestyle content such as art and exhibitions," adding, "We will continue to evolve as a space that offers differentiated content in line with customer demands."
