Very intense last few days. First very vibrant and vital this year The Armory Show. Then yesterday the press opening of Art of the Korean Renaissance (1400-1600) presenting painting, ceramics, metalware and printed books at the Metropolitan Museum of Arts with its masterpieces like this magical landscape painted gold on the black silk by Yi Jing. The curator of the exhibition, a beautiful, young Korean woman told us in details about history and art of this revolutionary period in Korean art and ended on very personal note telling about her travels: first to Korea, then from Seol by small plane, then taking a bus and then travel by foot in the mountains to the small village to confirm that one of the scrolls is original and now we have a chance to look at it in Metropolitan.
