Hyperrealism 50th Anniversary Retrospective Super Early Bird Tickets Now Available

The largest hyperrealism sculpture exhibition in Korea, “Hyperrealism 50th Anniversary Retrospective ? HOW: HUMAN OF WAY,” is set to open in November, offering super early bird tickets at up to 50% discounted prices.

Hyperrealism, meaning “extreme realism” (Hyper + Realism), is a new art movement that originated in the United States in the late 1960s, characterized by depicting everyday moments more realistically than reality itself.

Marking 50 years of history, this exhibition celebrating the history and development of hyperrealism sculpture will be held from November 9 to March 23, 2025, at the Hangaram Art Museum in the Seoul Arts Center. It is a special Korean exhibition of a world tour held at eight museums in countries including Rome’s Palazzo Bonaparte, and notably offers a rare opportunity to view works by Maurizio Cattelan and Ron Mueck, which recorded the highest attendance since the opening of the Leeum Museum of Art.

This exhibition comprehensively features works from the beginning of hyperrealism sculpture to those by currently active artists. A total of over 60 works will be presented, including 37 three-dimensional sculptures as well as videos and archives. Visitors can see works by 29 domestic and international artists representing 50 years of hyperrealism, including George Segal and Duane Hanson.

Super early bird tickets, available at up to 50% off, can be purchased through reservation apps or websites such as Qpicker, Naver, Interpark, and MyRealTrip until September 29.

Lee Min-jae, CEO of Peoplely Co., Ltd., the organizer and host of this exhibition, said, “This exhibition is a well-made special Korean tour exhibition that allows visitors to view the 50-year chronology of hyperrealism sculpture at a glance. Hyperrealism works, which capture everyday moments more realistically than reality itself, will pose fundamental questions about what it means to be human.”
