We are delighted to announce four new Limited Editions produced by Lee Ufan on the occasion of the artist’s public sculpture in Kensington Gardens, Relatum – Stage (2018).    

He is best known for his Relatum series, which he has been making since the 1960s and has presented in various public spaces, including the Château de Versailles and the Lee Ufan Museum in Naoshima, Japan. Each installation comprises one or more light-coloured, round stones and dark, rectangular, iron plates. Relatum, the title given to Ufan’s public sculptures, is a philosophical term denoting things or events between which a relation exists. This network of relationships is depicted in each unique drawing the artist has composed for the Serpentine Galleries.

Lee Ufan’s (born 1936, in Kyongnam, South Korea) practice is grounded in questions of simplicity and the act of embedding a philosophy within an artwork. Painter, sculptor, writer and philosopher, Ufan came to prominence in the late 1960s as one of the major theoretical and practical proponents of the avant-garde Mono-ha (Object School) group. The Mono-ha school of thought was Japan’s first contemporary art movement to gain international recognition. It rejected Western notions of representation by focusing on the relationships between materials and perceptions rather than on expression or intervention. The artists of Mono-ha present works made of raw physical materials that have barely been manipulated.
