Chun Kyung-ja Memorial Art Museum to Be Constructed Late painter Chun Kyung-ja’s works and collection are to be donated to Pukyong National University.
She visited the University a day before the press conference to make an agreement on donation with President Kim Young-seup. The agreement stipulates that the University will build Chun Kyung-ja Memorial Art Museum and Lee will donate sketch drawings, unfinished works and belongings of her mother. A total of 4,000 donations include 1,000 pieces of drawings and unfinished works and 3,000 pieces of artist’s personal effects such as cup, hairpin, paints, shoes, glasses and clothes. The University is planning to spend 6 billion won by 2020 to construct Chun Kyung-ja Memorial Art Museum, a 1,320㎡ whole building with exhibition hall, video room and storage. “Mother hoped that her childlike works would stay all together, not to be scattered, so she once donated her works to Seoul City in 1998. I’ve taken care of her works and always contemplated how to follow her wish,” said Lee, “then I met Professor Yun Kwang-woon last year and talked about it. His mother was my mother’s high school teacher, and also a mentor who encouraged and inspired mother to dream of a painter.” “And Busan is the city where my mother held the first official exhibition, the city that made mother a painter. These connections make the donation to Pukyong National University more meaningful. I feel lucky and relieved,” added Lee, “I hope my mother will always be loved by people through these donated works which is her spirit and soul.” Kim Yeong-seup, the President of PKNU said, “We will do all we can to preserve and pass the artist’s works and spirit.” <Pukyong Today> ![]() △ Late artist Chun Kyung-ja. △ (From the right) Lee Hye-seon(first daughter of the late artist), Honorary Professor Yun Kwang-woon, President Kim Young-seup, Lee Sang-ho(Director of Planning), Seo Dong-chul(Chief of Division of Industry University Cooperation) △ Lee Hye-seon is talking at the press conference. |
