With KÖNIG SEOUL, MCM and KÖNIG join forces once again to open a new art space in the Korean capital on 3 April 2021 for the first time.

---

MCM and KÖNIG have been cooperating for several years, most recently with KÖNIG TOKIO, a gallery space that was located on one floor of MCM’s flagship store in Tokyo until the end of 2020. The collaboration continues with KÖNIG SEOUL, opening a new chapter this spring in the MCM HAUS in Seoul’s prominent district Gangnam. KÖNIG SEOUL will occupy the building’s 5th floor as well as a spacious rooftop terrace that will be transformed into a sculpture garden. Soo Choi, a Seoul-based gallerist with 15 years of experience in the international art market, will serve as the managing director. KÖNIG has been actively involved in the Korean art scene for some years as a participant of the Art Busan and KIAF art fairs. The new space will provide KÖNIG with a platform to further strengthen its engagement with the region’s cultural institutions, collectors and public audiences.
