Ahl Foundation and Korean Cultural Service of New York are proud to present some materials from the Archive of Korean-American Artists (Akaa). Korean artists such as Whanki Kim (1913-1974), John Pai (b. 1937), Nam June Paik (1932-2006) and Po Kim (b. 1917) started to settle down in New York in the 1960s while a large number of artists arrived here to study at various Mfa programs in the 1980s. Byron Kim, Y. David Chung, Ik-joong Kang, Theresa Hak Kyung Cha and many talented young Korean-American artists lived and worked in New York in the 1980s. This exhibition catalogue presents a group of the first generations who set up their studios in the greater New York area in the 1960s to the 1980s. This exhibition catalogue of Coloring Time includes scholarly essays along with documents, photographs, drawings, and sketches of Korean-American artists as well as their early works classified into five themes in order to show a creative journey of Korean contemporary art transplanted in the Us.

Books devoted to Korean contemporary art are still rare. When I teach a course on Asian modern/contemporary art, I will use this book. It covers a crucial period from 1955 to 1989 when a first generation of study-abroad Korean artists arrived in New York. They were much influenced by Abstract Expressionism, Minimalism, Conceptual Art, mixed-media art of the 1970s, performance art of 1960s, and Civil Rights Movements. Yet Korean or Korean-American artists developed unique ways to preserve their identity as immigrant artists living in a cosmopolitan center of contemporary art. Many artists from Korea, like other immigrant artists, pursued questions of assimilation, isolationism, Asian-ness, race and gender. Some are more politically sensitive than others.All of them maintained a high spirit to be recognized as serious artists. It was wonderful to see that Namjune Paik was a central figure in this small circle of Korean artists in New York.
The chronological table at the end as well as history of exhibitions held for Korean artists are enormously useful sources for those interested in impact of the Civil Rights Movements as well as public art institutions like Queens Museum of Art, Artists Space, Henry Street Settlement, etc.
