New York-based Korean artist Anna Park (b. 1996) has joined Lehmann Maupin as its youngest represented artist.
 
Born in Daegu, South Korea, and raised in New Zealand and the United States, Anna Park explores the complex experiences of being an Asian woman in Western society through charcoal and ink drawings that teeter between abstraction and figuration, gaining recognition in the global art scene.
 
Her large-scale paintings satirically express the strange aesthetic standards and societal pressures placed on the female body by borrowing unrealistic female images from 1950s-60s advertising, comics, and film media.

“Anna’s emotionally-charged work holds a mirror to our frenzied and turbulent contemporary experience, ” said David Maupin, Co-founder of Lehmann Maupin.
 
This announcement comes on the heels of a major year for the artist, following Park’s solo museum exhibition 《Look, look. Anna Park》, which closed in September 2024 at the Art Gallery of Western Australia in Perth, WA. As her first collaboration with the gallery, Anna Park unveiled new works at Art Basel Hong Kong at the end of last month, and a solo exhibition featuring her new works will be held at the Lehmann Maupin London in 2026.

Anna Park earned her MFA from the New York Academy of Fine Art and her BA from Pratt Institute. Her work is featured in notable museum collections around the world, including the Art Gallery of Western Australia, Perth, Australia; BY ART MATTERS, Hangzhou, China; Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami, FL; K11 Art Foundation, Hong Kong; and Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
 
Her work gained recognition in the art world when it was purchased by KAWS in 2019, and in 2023, she ranked 23rd in the 'Young Artist' category by Artprice, a global art market research institution.
