What is on view
SeMA Art Archives' *Oh Yoon* commemorates 40 years since the artist's death in 1986. Drawing on the archive's own collection, the free exhibition presents original woodblock matrices, sketches, drawings, notebooks and working tools alongside finished works, revealing the process behind his art.
How to explore it
Six chapters named after phrases from Oh Yoon's notes trace early experiments, the lives of ordinary people, his attentive observation of everyday society, criticism associated with the art group *Reality and Utterance*, energetic later imagery and records of his life and journeys. Comparing a carved block with the printed image and accompanying notes is an especially useful way to understand the exhibition.
