Description

Correspondance (2003) is a refined and deeply meditative work by Lee Ufan, one of the most important living artists of postwar Asian art and a central figure of both the Mono-ha movement and contemporary minimalist painting.

Executed with pigment suspended in glue on canvas, the composition exemplifies Lee’s celebrated approach: a single gesture, repeated with subtle variation, creating a field of quiet tension and spiritual resonance. The soft, pale tonal block—floating within an expansive white space—evokes presence and absence, weight and lightness, silence and dialogue.

The Correspondance series is widely regarded as one of Lee Ufan’s most iconic bodies of work. Through minimal intervention, Lee invites the viewer into a direct encounter with material, time, and perception. The restrained palette and the delicacy of the surface emphasize the artist’s philosophy of “relationship” — between the mark and the void, the object and the surrounding world.

Hand-signed on the verso and presented framed, this 2003 painting offers a significant opportunity to acquire a museum-quality work by an artist whose importance continues to grow internationally.
