• Lee's minimalist aesthetic combines Asian and European influences.
• One of the most important elements of his artistic work is not to breathe while painting, to allow the work to take effect in space and time and not to "colonize" the entire surface.
• Lee is one of the most important representatives of the Mono-ha school in Japan, a key movement in Japanese post-war art.
• From the 1970s onward, his work was closely related to the Dansaekhwa movement in Korea, in which artists explored abstraction and materiality, particularly in monochrome painting.
• Lee Ufan exhibited at documenta 6 in Kassel in 1977 and at the Venice Biennale in 2011 and 2015.
• Until April 28, 2024, the Hamburger Bahnhof, Nationalgalerie der Gegenwart, shows the artists first retrospective in Germany
