- RM of BTS is curating an exhibition of 145 works by Korean artists at SFMOMA this fall, marking his first turn as an art curator.
- RM began buying Korean art after realizing he knew Western masters like Picasso and van Gogh but no artists from his own country, telling himself: "You have to find your root."
Why it matters: RM's curatorial debut places 145 Korean artworks inside one of the U.S.'s most visited modern art museums this fall, giving Korean artists a rare institutional platform at SFMOMA — the venue RM singled out as a benchmark for his new project.
