초록

The art market in the modern sense was formed in Korea during the Japanese
colonial period. In order to get a start on the analysis of the birth and structure of the
modern art market in Korea, a study of the antique art collection fever of the 1930s
Seoul and its background is needed. This paper, after first examining the Seoul art
market and the major collectors during the Japanese colonial period, attempts to
analyze the collection of Bak Chang-hun, a medical doctor and one of the
representative art collectors of the period, and the auctions through which he sold his
collection. A renowned medical doctor of the Japanese colonial period, Bak Changhun
was a prominent figure who participated actively in civic society. He was also one
of the leading antique art collectors of the era. Bak Chang-hun sold all of his art
collection through auctions in 1940 and 1941. Among the art collectors of modern
Korea, it is unprecedented for anyone to dispose of one’s complete collection through
an auction, let alone through two auctions, as Bak Chang-hun had done. The
auctioning of Bak’s collection, therefore, is recorded as an important “event”in the history of Korean antique art market. It is deemed that the biggest reason for Bak
Chang-hun’s selling all of his collection and taking economic profit, unbefitting the
reputation of a great art collector, was his lack of firm will and purpose as an art collector. The significance of Bak Chang-hun’s life as an antique art collector can be found in his role as a type of model in terms of antique art collection and dispersion in modern Korea.
