The exhibition in Venice, along with a display of Lee’s paintings and sculptures at the foundation’s upstate Dia Beacon, is pegged to the artist’s 90th birthday in June. Lee, who is associated with both the Mono-ha and Dansaekhwa movements, is best-known for spare paintings and installations—a few colorful brushstrokes set against a mostly white canvas, for example, or a single rock paired with a sheet of metal.
