Biography : Born in Seoul in 1894, Yu Geun-Hyeong dedicated his life to the revival of Korean celadon, ensuring its enduring legacy in modern ceramics. His career began in 1911 at a Japanese-owned ceramics factory in Shindang-dong, where many of his early works were sent to Japan and remain in collections today.
Determined to reestablish Korea’s celadon tradition, he founded a kiln in Icheon in 1960, where he worked tirelessly into his 90s. Celebrated both in Korea and Japan, Yu was honored as a Living National Treasure by the Korean government.
His influence extends worldwide, with his works housed in renowned museums, including:
Haegang Museum (Korea) – founded by Yu in 1990 with his sons
Asian Art Museum of San Francisco (USA)
