Heejae Kang’s Latest Art Purchases: A Look Into His Buying Choices
Fashion entrepreneur Heejae Kang has a personal approach to art collecting, focusing on emotional connections with vibrant and expressive pieces. As the founder of Uptown Girl, she plans to open her own gallery in the future. Kang’s taste in art has evolved to prioritize pieces that bring her joy. She recently acquired a balloon piece by Ryan Gander and regrets missing out on a drawing by Louise Bourgeois. If she could own a work from any museum, it would be a Christopher Wool piece from MoMA. In Seoul, Kang recommends Hue135 for Korean cuisine and Seongsu-dong for retail therapy. Seoul is a vibrant city that never sleeps, so visitors should come prepared to fully enjoy the experience.
