Lee Ufan: Encounters with the Other

Lee Ufan is a contemporary artist whose work encompasses all media and challenges the traditional delineations between such categorizations as painting and sculpture. His work includes art historical writings that reflect profound knowledge of European and East Asian philosophy. The juxtaposition and convergence, confrontation and coexistence of polarities define his thinking and work. This monograph examines in a very readable style the outstanding significance of Lee’s work to contemporary art by comparing his key works to those of other artists and by placing his theoretical writings in a socio-historical philosophical context.
