Seoul Art Friend's Andy St Louis on the Growing Korean Art Market

In this episode of the ArtTactic Podcast, host Adam Green speaks
with Seoul-based art critic Andy St. Louis, founder of Seoul Art
Friend and author of Future Present: Contemporary Korean Art. As
Frieze Seoul approaches its third edition, Adam and Andy explore
the fair's growing influence in the Korean art scene and how it has
attracted global attention, especially from U.S. and European
galleries. They also discuss the complexities of scheduling
conflicts with the Armory Show in New York and the impact on
international collectors. Andy shares insights on how certain
galleries have successfully integrated into Seoul’s art community
and the current state of collecting in Korea. Finally, they dive
into Andy's new book, which is the first English-language survey of
millennial contemporary Korean artists, and reflect on why these
artists haven’t received as much global recognition despite Korea’s
rising presence in the art market.
