Notable figures include Indonesian artist Christine Ay Tjoe, known for her abstract works, and Marguerite Humeau, whose surreal sculptures made waves at the Venice Biennale last year. Tracey Emin, a name that rings a bell even for the casual art observer, will also showcase her iconic neon light phrases.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The exhibition doesn\u2019t just stop there; it incorporates works across various mediums from artists like Berlinde de Bruyckere and Katharina Fritsch. Louise Giovanelli, a newcomer to White Cube, and Korean artist Jinju Lee round off the list with their thought-provoking pieces that often touch on memory and subconscious thoughts.<\/span><\/p>\n                        <!-- <div class=\"container-c\"> -->\r\n                        <!-- <div class=\"row justify-content-between\"> -->\r\n                        <!-- <div class=\"col-post-800\"> -->\r\n                        <!-- start html -->\r\n                        <div class=\"blockquote-wapper\">\r\n                            <div>\r\n                                <span class=\"text_quot\">\r\n                                    <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Discover the thriving art landscape of Seoul beyond the much-anticipated Frieze Seoul 2023.

Beuys, a German legend in the art world, will be posthumously showcased, thanks to a special collection from his family. On the other floor, American sculptor Donald Judd\u2019s minimalistic 3D works will prompt you to think differently about space.
