with Maka Batiashvili, Kim Yoon Kyung, Kim Soo Young, Joan Miró, Park Jong Tae & Sa Hara
Amid growing concerns over the sustainability of regional art ecosystems, the 19th edition of the Daegu International Art Fair (DIAF 2026) seeks to reaffirm its significant role within the Korean cultural landscape.
Daegu holds a distinguished position in Korean art history as the city that hosted the nation’s first contemporary art festival and as a key birthplace of modern Korean art. Shaped by a rich engagement with Western modernism and sustained by outstanding artists and a vibrant artistic community, Daegu continues to serve as a vital center of artistic discourse. DIAF 2026, held in this historically and culturally dynamic city, is expected to attract active participation from collectors and art professionals both in Korea and abroad. DIAF 2026 will present a carefully balanced selection of masterworks alongside compelling contemporary practices, offering opportunities not only to established collectors but also to a new generation entering the art market. The fair will further spotlight promising emerging galleries that have yet to receive sufficient international attention, creating space for discovery and new perspectives. Through diverse and thoughtfully curated programs, DIAF will foster meaningful dialogue between galleries and collectors, serve as a platform for artistic discourse and international exchange, and provide substantive business opportunities that contribute to a sustainable and resilient art market. In navigating challenging times together, we remain committed to ensuring that DIAF endures as a distinguished art festival-one that leaves a lasting impression for years to come.
