The Dia Art Foundation will mount a solo presentation dedicated to Lee Ufan as an official collateral event to the 2026 Venice Biennale. Opening May 9, the exhibition will be curated by Dia director Jessica Morgan and staged at the San Marco Art Centre.

The exhibition in Venice, along with a display of Lee’s paintings and sculptures at the foundation’s upstate Dia Beacon, is pegged to the artist’s 90th birthday in June.

Lee, who is associated with both the Mono-ha and Dansaekhwa movements, is best-known for spare paintings and installations—a few colorful brushstrokes set against a mostly white canvas, for example, or a single rock paired with a sheet of metal.
