About the Korean Art Lexicon

The Korean Art Lexicon (한국미술 어휘집) is an open, source-cited dictionary and authority file for Korean contemporary art — in effect a working glossary and vocabulary of Korean art names and terms. Each entry documents the standardized Korean name, romanization variants, Hanja (한자), birth and death years, nationality, and role, with citations to primary institutional sources. It covers Korean and Korea-connected artists, exhibitions, institutions, and critical terms. Initiated and maintained by Jaeyong Park of Seoul Reading Room, who continues to develop and expand it.
