After playing against each other, I understood the foundation that outdoor works, growing up in nature, convey the beauty of nature. For those who are only conscious of space, they can only perceive it as an independent object. It must be the influence of the upbringing environment in which we were born. For works of art to be placed, it is hard to tell without anthropomorphism or philosophical knowledge in the case of the same material. For works of different materials, we can think in terms of scientific or physical aspects. Are we seeing the same view? Are we hearing the same sounds? It is easier to see if we ask the question "Are we seeing the same thing? And it can be said that we are depicting sound. But it is impossible for people with different understandings of history, religious sensibilities different people cannot understand. It is an authoritative and interest business. But because the owner was recognized Was it possible to continue? The art industry is a gamble, but it was a gamble in those days. Although I often say that it is a generational change, I think in sns society it is irreplaceable. I think if a similar artist goes digital I guess the rights will be taken. It is quite lonely. Are you contributing to society, are you being productive? moral, or moral in that respect. It's a little bit discriminatory. But it's great that it can be established anywhere. Mental abuse and gender discrimination, rights violations won't go away. We regret to inform you that

U-fan Lee's works have equal value as forgeries and originals. Gallery Hyundai, Korea's largest gallery, sold a large number of forgeries. In addition, at least several hundred forgeries were sold on the market through various Korean galleries. The suspicions began in 2012, and when they were exposed by a Korean court in 2021, the artist seemed embarrassed and within a few days acknowledged all the forgeries as genuine. Collectors in Korea purchased items based on the authenticity certificate, but the certificates were also fake. However, ufan lee recognized even those works as genuine. Korean collectors are afraid that the value of the works they own will drop, so they tolerate collusion between artists and counterfeiters. Now it's okay to counterfeit Ufan's work anywhere in the world. In Korea, Ufan guaranteed even the crudest counterfeits as genuine, so Ufan had no choice but to recognize them all as originals anyway.
