“Korean Relics in Overseas Collections Series” were published as part of the Korea Foundation’s effort to compile information on Korean artifacts housed in Museum overseas. All volumes have been published based on information gathered from surveys conducted by Korean art historians and relevant experts on Korean artifacts housed in overseas museums and universities or preserved by individual collectors.
Each volume contains a list of 1,400 Korean paintings, ceramics, handicrafts and approximately 300 illustrations with descriptions preserved in U.S., Western Europe and Japan.
