Yunhee Min

Yunhee Min (born 1962 Seoul, Korea) is a Korean-American artist.[1] She lives and works in Los Angeles, California.[2] In 1991 she received a BFA from ArtCenter College of Design.[3] In 1993 she attended the Kunstakademie, Düsseldorf as a guest student under Professor Günther Uecker. In 2007 she received an MA in Design Studies from the Harvard University Graduate School of Design.

Min's two-fold art practice, which includes both painting and site-projects, is rooted in abstraction, as expressed through color, gesture, surface and form.[1][4][5][6][7][8]

Her work has been featured in gallery and museum exhibitions including: Los Angeles County Museum of Art; UCLA Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, San Francisco; Art Sonje Center, Seoul, Korea; Artists Space, New York; Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego and others. She is represented by Vielmetter, Los Angeles[9] and Miles McEnery Gallery, New York.[10][11] In 2008, she co-founded Silvershed, an artist-run space in Chelsea, NYC with Patrick Meagher.
