Marking the 25th anniversary this year, Johyun Gallery opened its space in Gwanganli, Busan, under the name Gallery World in 1990. In 2005, the gallery reestablished itself at a new exhibition space in Dalmaji Hill near Haeundae Beach with a beautiful panoramic view down to the ocean of Busan, prompting to reshape the neighborhood into an art hub. Along with the opening of another space in Chungdamdong, Seoul, in 2007, it aims to take a role as a leading instrument to introduce and exhibit diverse works of art.

Beginning by exhibiting representative artists of Korean Monochrome Movement such as Park Seo-Bo, Jeong Chang-Sup and Yun Hyong-Keun, who were the leading pioneers of Korean Modernism, Johyun Gallery has been organizing exhibitions that reflect critical moments in the course of Korean modern art history. The gallery also has been continuously showcasing works of internationally acclaimed artists such as Pierre Soulages, Jim Dine, Yayoi Kusama, Jesús Rafael Soto and Jean Pierre Raynaud. In the recent years, the gallery has introduced artists such as Philippe Cognée, Thierry Feuz, Peter Zimmermann and Georges Rousse, who have active careers around the globe, and presented their first solo exhibitions in Korea, receiving significant reviews from the national and international art world.

Johyun Gallery will continue to explore and curate exhibitions not only of the masters from in and out of Korea but also of talented young artists, seeking to present today's Korean contemporary art in the global art world.
