E-Land Park said on the 17th it will permanently exhibit the Picasso ceramics collection owned by the E-Land Museum at the resort Grand Kensington Seorak Beach, which is set to open in September. The resort will create a dedicated space so visitors can view Picasso works from the E-Land Museum's collection at all times with the East Sea as a backdrop.
The E-Land Museum will place a collection of more than 130 works, including over 110 Picasso ceramic pieces collected for more than 30 years, in a dedicated space of about 300 pyeong within the resort. Highlights include Aulos Player, featured on the first page of the official Picasso ceramics catalog, and Bullring, which captures a dynamic scene from a Spanish bullring on the curved surface of a vase.
The exhibition is organized around four themes: ◇ the story of the Madoura workshop ◇ the world of ceramics that broke the boundary between painting and sculpture ◇ the figures who inspired Picasso ◇ exchanges with contemporary artists. Professional docent-led tours and an art wellness program will also run.
The Picasso ceramics exhibition will operate as an open space that can be viewed not only by resort guests but also by the general public, including local residents. E-Land Park plans to expand the E-Land Museum's long-collected holdings into a culture and arts platform enjoyed by resort customers and the local community.
Meanwhile, Grand Kensington Seorak Beach, opening in September, will operate as a 100% members-only resort. Rooms are limited to 72, and every room is assigned a dedicated butler. Inside the resort, guests can view the ridgeline of Seoraksan Mountain, and outside it connects to a private beach about 1 kilometer long.
An E-Land Park official said, "Grand Kensington Seorak Beach is a place where culture and art, nature, and private relaxation meet as one," adding, "We hope art will not be consumed and disappear over a set period, but become a language that makes the resort read anew."
