Lee Ufan 이우환: Lee Ufan in Venice

May 6, 2026

As an official Collateral Event of the 61st International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia, Lee Ufan will be on view at San Marco Art Centre until November 22, 2026. Presented by Dia Art Foundation and curated by Dia’s Director Jessica Morgan, the exhibition marks a major presentation of the artist’s work in Venice.

Surveying over seven decades of Lee Ufan’s practice, the exhibition brings together approximately twenty works—including paintings, sculptures, and a new site-specific commission. Installed across eight galleries at SMAC Venice in the Procuratie at Piazza San Marco, the presentation traces the development of his visual language across time.
