In 2004, it was invited to the Frieze Art Fair as the first Korean gallery, playing a major role in advancing Korean contemporary art to the center of the global art market. Since then, by steadily participating in prestigious international art fairs such as Art Basel, FIAC, The Armory Show, and Expo Chicago, it has introduced high-quality works by domestic and international artists spanning modern and contemporary art to global collectors and art professionals, contributing to the establishment of Korean art on the international stage.
