《The Alex Group》
mother’s tankstationのギャラリストDavidのアドバイスによって構成された10枚組の作品《The Alex Group》はストーリー性のあるとてもAtushi Kagaさんらしい作品でした。

At Frieze Seoul 2022, the first Asian edition of the fair, Atsushi Kaga held a solo presentation.
The joint booth of MAHO KUBOTA GALLERY and mother’s tankstation
Atsushi Kaga has two mother galleries, and this solo-format presentation was staged at the joint booth of Maho Kubota Gallery and mother’s tankstation.
Right after doors opened at 2 pm on the first day of the VIP preview, the booth was thronged by collectors, all reaching out to the gallerists to inquire about the works on view.
The bustling booth
Perhaps intending to expand the collector base in Korea, the works were sold on a first-come-first-served basis on-site, and lucky collectors were able to acquire some rare pieces. Even so, everything reportedly sold out within an hour.
The booth on the second day, calmer than before
Atsushi Kaga himself was not present at the booth, but many visitors gathered to photograph the works with their phones, and the booth remained lively throughout.

The Alex Group
Composed under the guidance of David, a gallerist from mother’s tankstation, the ten-piece work The Alex Group is a strongly narrative piece and quintessentially Atsushi Kaga.

Atsushi Kaga, who has now gained a global following.
In October, another solo exhibition will open at mother’s tankstation in London — one we will certainly be keeping an eye on.

아시아 최초로 개최된 Frieze Seoul 2022에서 Atsushi Kaga의 개인전 형식의 프레젠테이션이 열렸습니다.
MAHO KUBOTA GALLERY와 mother’s tankstation의 공동 부스
Atsushi Kaga는 두 곳의 소속 갤러리를 두고 있습니다. Maho Kubota Gallery와 mother’s tankstation의 공동 부스에서 개인전 형식의 전시가 진행되었습니다.
VIP 프리뷰 첫날 14시 개장 직후 부스에는 많은 컬렉터가 몰려들었고, 전시된 작품에 대해 갤러리스트에게 다가가 문의하는 광경이 펼쳐졌습니다.
성황을 이룬 부스의 모습
한국에서의 컬렉터 층을 넓히려는 의도였는지, 현장에서 선착순 판매가 이루어져 운 좋은 컬렉터들은 귀한 작품을 손에 넣을 수 있었던 듯합니다. 그럼에도 개시 1시간이 채 되지 않아 완판되었다고 합니다.
이튿날 다소 잦아든 부스의 모습
Atsushi Kaga 본인은 부스에 상주하지 않았지만, 스마트폰으로 작품을 촬영하는 관람객 등 많은 방문객으로 부스는 붐볐습니다.

The Alex Group
mother’s tankstation의 갤러리스트 David의 조언으로 구성된 10점 세트 작품 The Alex Group은 서사성이 짙은, 매우 Atsushi Kaga다운 작품이었습니다.

세계적인 인기를 얻고 있는 Atsushi Kaga.
10월에는 mother’s tankstation(런던)에서의 개인전도 열릴 예정이니, 이 또한 눈여겨보고 싶습니다.
