Minjung Kim's first monograph Ink, Paper, Fire was published by Monacelli with texts by Sam Bardaouil, Andrew Russeth, and Jun Hu.
Highlighting the oeuvre of Korean contemporary artist Minjung Kim, who has spent more than three decades exploring the traditions of East Asian calligraphy and ink painting and expanding them into the visual language of contemporary abstraction, the monograph features over 150 color images of her works. Alongside documentation of the artist’s creative process, the publication examines the cultural intersections forged by Korean materials and contemporary abstraction, the profound layers shaped by time and process, and a reverence for the recurring organic rhythms of life through a range of thematic sections.
