Korean artist Lee Ufan, a key figure in the Mono-ha movement, has donated eight paintings from the 1970s to the 1990s to the Dia Art Foundation in New York. The works, from his From Point, From Line, and With Winds series, will be featured in a spring 2026 exhibition at Dia Beacon alongside sculptural installations already in the foundation's collection. Lee is also collaborating with Avant Arte on a limited-edition print release to support Dia's programming.
This donation strengthens Dia's commitment to Conceptual, Minimalist, and Post-Minimalist art, highlighting the enduring influence of Mono-ha on contemporary installation practice. The gift and accompanying exhibition offer a rare opportunity to see the full breadth of Lee's career, while the print collaboration provides vital funding for the foundation's mission.
