Lee Ufan is one of the most important representatives of the Mono-ha school in Japan and the Dansaekhwa movement in Korea, which developed parallel to other minimalist art movements.
Lee's decades-long engagement with painting is the subject of an extraordinary highlight: for the first time, Rembrandt's famous "Self-Portrait with Velvet Barrette" (1634) from the Berlin Gemäldegalerie will be shown in the Hamburger Bahnhof and juxtaposed with Lee's expansive installation "Relatum - The Mirror Road" (2016/2023) in an intervention by the artist. In this way, Lee's art introduces visitors to the formative art currents of Japan and Korea in the 1970s and enables a new view of an icon of Western European art.
