ATLANTA, Ga. (ATL Live) -

The High Museum of Art presents the first American museum exhibition featuring the work of Kim Chong Hak (born 1937 in Sinuiju, Korea), a master painter from South Korea popularly known as “the painter of Seoraksan” — the highest peak in the country’s Taebaek mountain range.

With more than 70 works, including new acquisitions from the High’s collection, the exhibition will span the arc of Kim’s mature career and present an aspect of Korean art in the late 20th century little known outside of South Korea.

The exhibition runs now through November 2, 2025.
