“When you like Asia, you like it passionately!” So says Emmanuel Perrotin, com- menting on his decision to open Galerie Perrotin Seoul at 5 Palpan-gil, in the heart of the South Korean capital’s gallery-rich Jongno district, adding to a portfolio of venues at locations that include Paris, New York, and Hong Kong. Perrotin regards the new enterprise as a bit of an adventure. “For us, there is a magic in projects when we have no idea of the result in advance.” The inaugural exhibition in the 2,000-square-foot Seoul space is a solo show of works by critically acclaimed French artist Laurent Grasso, which runs through May 28.
