RM x SFMOMA will be the first-ever museum exhibition featuring artworks from the personal collection of RM, leader of pop royalty BTS. The exhibition brings together 200 works from the collections of RM and SFMOMA, offering a chance to see modern and contemporary Korean artworks in conversation with artworks from around the world. Many of the artworks have never before been exhibited to the public in the US.
Among the key Korean artists represented in the collection of RM are Yun Hyong-keun, Park Rehyun, Kwon Okyon, Kim Yun Shin, To Sangbong, and Chang Ucchin, in addition to works by numerous notable contemporary artists from around the world. RM x SFMOMA will highlight the shared themes between these works and complementary SFMOMA collection artworks by Korean artist Kim Whanki as well as American and European artists such as Mark Rothko, Agnes Martin, Henri Matisse, Georgia O’Keeffe, and Paul Klee.
“We live in an age defined by boundaries. This exhibition at SFMOMA reflects those boundaries: between East and West, Korea and America, the modern and the contemporary, the personal and the universal. I don’t want to prescribe how these works should be seen; whether out of curiosity or study, all perspectives are welcome. My only hope is that this exhibition can be a small but sturdy bridge for many.”
