The PYO Gallery has opened its gallery space in 1981 in the heart of Seoul, Korea. Since then, the gallery has gained reputation for exhibiting cutting-edge Modern and Contemporary fine art in all genres. Works by most notable artists in the Korean and international fine art scene like Nam June Paik, Tschang-Yeul Kim, Ufan Lee, Yue Min Jun, Zeng Fan Zhi, Ji Dachun, Hoon Kwak, Sufan Oh, Frank Stella, David Nash, Robert Rauschenberg, James Rosenquist, Rufino Tamayo and by artists with great potential such as Lee Yong Deok, Park Sung-Tae, Shin Chi-Hyun, Cha Min-Young, Tamen, Li Hui have graced our walls.

The start of Auctionarts inc, internet auction company, in 1997 allowed PYO Gallery to gain resources to become the first creator of cyber museums in Korea for major Korean and Chinese artists. With growing resources, PYO Gallery has placed intense effort in promoting Asian art worldwide and such efforts allowed the gallery great international recognition, increasing international artist line and collector base. In addition to curating exclusive monthly exhibitions, the PYO gallery, with over 1,300 artworks in stock, annually curates and exports fine art traveling exhibitions for other major museums and galleries worldwide. As the international expectations grew, it became necessary for our gallery to open an art consulting office in Los Angeles in 2003 and the 3rd exhibition space in China in 2006. In March of 2006, PYO BEIJING was launched in a new art district, Chaoyang Liquor Factory in Beijing, allowing PYO Gallery to promote Asian art more affectively.

In September of 2006, to comply with the ever-growing art investment interest in Korea, PYO Gallery and GOOD MORNING SHINHAN SECURITIES successfully launched the very first art fund in Korea with 7.5 million dollar asset.

In 2007, acknowledging the space limitation of the 20 year old building space, PYO gallery has moved its location to a new sophisticated cultural zone in Namsan, sharing the area with the National Museum of Korea and the Leeum Samsung Museum of Art.

PYO Gallery is proud to bring a new exciting energy to the area and the gallery believes that the new location will allow developing its exhibition program at an even more thrilling pace locally and internationally.
