about the Gallery
Jason Haam opened in January 2017 in Seongbuk-dong, Seoul, with a clear objective: to operate as a serious and effective player in the global primary art market. The gallery was established to discover and develop artists of significant value—artists whose work reflects their cultural, generational, and social contexts in ways that resonate globally. From the start, we have upheld the highest standard of quality as a core principle for creating such lasting value.
Our program has featured solo exhibitions by international artists—Sarah Lucas (her first solo show in Asia in 2019), Urs Fischer, Jonathan Gardner, Marie Cloquet, Linn Meyers, Cheikh Ndiaye, and many others. Though acclaimed on the global stage, many of these artists made their Asian debut at Jason Haam, often for the first time in Korea and throughout the region. Simultaneously, we have championed emerging South Korean voices such as Moka Lee, Jungwook Kim, HAN Jihyoung, and Mike Lee, introducing them to international audiences and bolstering both their commercial success and recognition by institutions. We have also maintained a customer-centered approach, believing that anyone working with Jason Haam—whether acquiring a work or building a collection—should clearly benefit from that relationship. That belief has shaped the way we engage with our clients, placing meaningful artworks while supporting their long-term interests.
In 2025, we launched Jason Haam Secondary, a formal secondary-market program aimed at providing systematic and transparent trade services. Jason Haam Secondary now occupies the gallery’s original space in Seongbuk-dong, while our new exhibition venue next door—transformed by UrsFischer—demonstrates our continued commitment to ambitious, artist-led exhibitions. Jason Haam today operates with focus and discipline. We remain committed to building and supporting artists with long-term vision and serving our clients with professionalism and integrity.
2017년 함윤철 대표는 아름다운 서울의 역사가 깃든 성북동에 제이슨함 갤러리를 설립했습니다.
탁월한 작품성에 기인하여 독창적이고, 진정성 있으며, 동시대를 대변하는 작품들을 선보이는 데에 목적을 둔 제이슨함 갤러리는 국경과 세대를 초월한 다양한 현대 미술 작가들 과의 협업을 진행 해 왔습니다.
우르스 피셔, 조나단 가드너, 사라 루카스와 같이 글로벌 현대미술을 대표하는 작가들 과의 협업을 통해 한국 미술계에 새로운 비전을 제시해왔고, 아트 바젤 또는 프리즈 같은 주요 국제 아트 페어 참가 및 국내외 전시 활동을 통해 김정욱, 마이크리, 이목하와 같이 새로이 떠오르는 한국 작가들의 국제 무대 진출의 발판을 마련했습니다.
8년차를 맞은 2024년, 제이슨함 갤러리는 현재 위치한 갤러리의 옆 건물로 전시공간을 확장할 예정입니다. 새로운 공간은 함께하는 작가들에게 더욱 자유롭고 신선한 전시를 꾸릴 수 있도록 함과 동시에 한국 현대미술계에 신선한 볼거리를 제공할 예정입니다.
