“I would like to propose a permanent exhibition.”

“what? Permanent exhibition?”

“Of course, if that happens, it may have to be a location other than the Il-seon Art Center, which has expensive rental fees.”

“for a moment. So, the idea is to significantly expand the exhibition schedule. how much?”

“How about two years?”

“2 years?”

“Two years?”

Kang Yu-jin and Kim Young-in asked back with wide eyes. Suhyun continued speaking calmly.

“Actually, as I watched the people who visited the exhibition hall, I thought it would be nice for more people to see this painting. So I hope more people will be comforted.”

“her.”

“Director, as you said, if it is not possible to sell a painting for 100,000 won right away, and you are reluctant to make a fuss by publishing a relay article refuting it, I think it would be better to delay the sale of the painting a little.”

“… … .”

“Hmm.”

The frown between Kang Yu-jin and Kim Young-in deepened.

It may not bring in profits right away, but after thinking about it, it was a good method. Profit is not necessarily calculated solely from the sales price of paintings.

If, as Soo-hyeon said, they published an article saying that the exhibition would be converted to a permanent exhibition for the benefit of many people, JK and Il-seon could achieve a promotional effect that cannot be converted into money. Also, if a painting becomes famous through a permanent exhibition, the price of the painting is likely to rise significantly beyond the initially set price. After the exhibition ends, Soohyun’s popularity will increase. furthermore.

“Instead, I think it would be possible to sell at least one work in advance.”

Su-hyeon had one more brilliant idea.

“One piece? Like what?”

When Kang Yu-jin asked, Su-hyeon smiled.

“It’s the 100th painting that was hung last. “Faces.”

“ah. “That picture?”

Kang Yu-jin tilted his head.

The facial expression drawings of about 150 people added at the end contributed greatly to improving the completeness of the exhibition.

It was clear that if it was sold and only the rest was displayed, the excitement would be diminished. however.

“I thought I wanted to draw that as a series. So, when I finish the next painting, what if I sell the previous painting and hang a new painting in its place? Even if it is a permanent exhibition, there will be people who come back repeatedly, and I think it will be a slightly new experience.”

Su-hyeon was considering ways to make changes to the permanent exhibition and solve maintenance costs.

“Is this good?”

Director Kim Young-in’s eyes lit up.

“I need to go in and report right away. “I’ll get back to you.”

Kim Young-in hurriedly got up from his seat.

And two hours later.

“ha ha ha!”

JK Vice Chairman Noh Yeong-guk burst into laughter after receiving Manager Kim Young-in’s report.

“No, that’s the idea that came from writer Han Soo-hyun’s head?”

“yes. “This is a method I personally suggested.”

“Hey. Even if you did it knowingly, it would be surprising, and even if you did it without knowing, it would be surprising.”

Vice Chairman Noh Young-guk is shaking his head in admiration. Director Kim Young-in asked him carefully.

“Then, can we proceed like this?”

“hmm. I think this might be the best, or rather, better opportunity for now. But Manager Kim.”

“yes?”

“I want to deliver this news directly, not to the manager.”

“Vice President?”

“yes. When I hear good ideas, other good ideas come to mind. Let’s go to Ilsun Art Center with me tomorrow. “I guess I should meet author Han Soo-hyun in person.”

Noh Young-guk grinned and called his secretary to quickly adjust the schedule.

***

The next day, Ilsun Art Center planning conference room.

Soo-hyeon sat across from Noh Young-guk with a nervous face.

“You proposed a permanent exhibition?”

Noh Young-guk asked with a strange and interesting look in his eyes.

“yes.”

Suhyun answered briefly and nodded. Same facial expression as usual. So it was more difficult to read Noh Young-guk’s intentions.

‘I guess I’m just going to say it’s difficult.’

We received an abundance of support, but it may have been unreasonable to make another large investment.

Artists’ solo exhibitions are usually held in a rented exhibition hall for about a week.

Even for special projects, they rarely last longer than a few months. Moreover, Suhyun’s exhibition was already well underway with a three-month schedule.

However, the suggestion that the work could be included in a permanent exhibition for two years was an opinion that may have seemed bold. however.

“I hit my knee when I heard that.”

Noh Young-guk nodded with a satisfied face.

“When I first heard that there was a rumor going around that our artist Han Soo-hyun’s painting was worth 100,000 won, I got a little excited and thought, ‘I’m going to cut those old people’s heads.’”

Noh Young-guk had a cool look in his eyes like Kang Yu-jin yesterday.

“But as for the permanent exhibition, doesn’t that mean that our horizons have expanded thanks to that nonsense?”

“yes?”

Su-hyeon slowly looked at Noh Young-guk’s expression. It was a nuance that we had other ideas besides Soohyun’s suggestion.

“I unconditionally agree. We needed a clear signal that JK had entered the art market, and it was a permanent exhibition hall… … “This is a great idea.”

Noh Young-guk said, giving strength to his clasped hands.

“We have a suitable exhibition hall. It’s quite large. The location is good too. “This space was prepared to hold a preview exhibition when the auction business begins in earnest, so let’s use it as a permanent exhibition hall.”

“yes?”

Suhyeon was very surprised.

I thought I would find a shabby exhibition hall with a relatively cheap rental fee, but Noh Young-kuk said he would provide me with an exhibition hall of a level comparable to that of Ilseon Art Center.

and.

“But there are four exhibition rooms there. If exhibition room 1 is filled with artist Han Soo-hyun’s works, it will be difficult to leave exhibition halls 2, 3, and 4 empty. For no reason, artist Han Soo-hyun’s exhibition may seem dull. So I thought about this. I thought it would be a good idea to give exhibition halls 2, 3, and 4 to talented artists who are having trouble with rental fees for the time being. Well, the schedule just needs to be adjusted again when the auction business starts.”

“her. really?”

“Of course talent is the point. We will select works that are excellent and worth introducing to the public. Oh, and unlike artist Soohyun’s exhibition, sales of works there will be active right away. Since there is no rental fee, the cost of the work will go down significantly, which will make selling it easier. Anyway, if there is an empty space, new artists’ works can be added, creating a virtuous cycle. of course… … .”

Noh Young-guk said, slightly wrinkled his nose.

“JK intends to strictly target only the secondary market, so it cannot directly sell the works on display. So, we will just have to provide the location and have the Ilseon Art Center do the rest. I will also organize that part separately with Director Yujin Kang. Anyway, just know. haha.”

Noh Young-guk, who had drawn a rough outline of what would happen in the future, asked Su-hyeon again with a mischievous look on his face.

“I heard that artist Soohyun made this proposal with hesitation, but in fact, a permanent exhibition is a business in which I have nothing to lose. Just supporting artist Han Soo-hyun, providing an exhibition space, and sponsoring her would have a great promotional effect. Moreover, they even provide great exhibition halls for poor artists? How much better JK’s image will become. The problem is that if the sale of the work is delayed by two years, artist Han Soo-hyun will also incur a loss. Are you okay with that?”

When a work is sold, the gallery and the artist share the amount proportionally.

Since Il-seon and JK are large in scale, it was not difficult to defer sales payments.

On the contrary, there will be benefits from this. However, in Su-hyeon’s case, the question was whether it would be okay since the money she could receive right away would be postponed to a later date.

However, Suhyeon had a calm face this time too.

“Vice Chairman. I’m sorry, but I received a large down payment from JK when looking for the house I live in now. Even if I had received payment for the painting, I would have used the money to repay JK anyway. So in the end, I have nothing to lose. … … Rather, it means that we are behind on the money to repay JK. Is that okay with you, Vice Chairman?”

“what? haha. Hahaha!”

Vice Chairman Noh Young-kuk laughed for a long time, looking like he had been hit.

“Hey, every day is different. “When I first met Han Soo-hyun, he was a very introverted student, but now he’s starting to show that he’s quite a social person.”

Noh Young-guk shook his head and his eyes lit up again.

“And then.”

“yes?”

“Writer Soo-hyeon gave us a good idea, so we were able to respond appropriately, but we can’t just leave the people who made false rumors like this, right?”

“ah… … .”

“Is there anything you would like us to do for you?”

“Me?”

“I plan to punish you separately from the new project. Hmm. Well, if you don’t have any special ideas, there’s no need to clutter your mind with bad thoughts. “I will take care of everything.”

Noh Young-guk’s eyes became cold again, and Su-hyeon swallowed and looked at him.

***

JK was JK.

-There are no paintings worth 100,000 won. Author Han Soo-hyun’s ‘Consolation’ has no price.

-Artist Han Soo-hyun’s first solo exhibition ‘Comfort’. Thanks to the enthusiastic response, a permanent exhibition was decided for two years!

-JK and Ilsun Art Center, which have decided to provide generous support, will strive to discover talented new artists as well as artist Han Soo-hyun.

-JK What is the structure that allows special exhibition halls, exhibitions without rental fees, and artwork fees to be half price?

-There is a reason for the enthusiastic response to artist Han Soo-hyun’s first solo exhibition ‘Comfort’.

-Hot reviews, is it okay to cry in the exhibition hall?

The next day, a flood of related articles came out along with corrections.

The articles that Painter Hwang’s group had obscured until the day before disappeared without a trace and were pushed away.

“How did this happen?”

“Permanent exhibition? Does that make sense? “What do you mean, that painting is on permanent display?”

“No, rather, it gives other artists the opportunity to exhibit as well. “It’s okay because it goes through a fair review process, but isn’t it a plan to use this as an opportunity to steal away writers?”

“I’ll have to do some dandori. “Everyone, please crack down on JK to make sure there are no people wandering around JK!”

Painter Hwang’s group was confused and divided. What had been a sudden stab to bring down a scary rookie ended up coming back with an answer I couldn’t handle.

I had a bad feeling. Responding so aggressively made everyone nervous, fearing that this article might be the beginning rather than the end.

and.

Tiririri-.

Artist Hwang Jeong-sik was looking down at the PCS phone that had been ringing persistently with a thoughtful face.

“Are you not answering the phone?”

“What’s going on? “Your complexion is not good.”

Hwang Jeong-sik, who was unable to move despite the interference of other artists sitting around him, eventually accepted the phone that kept ringing.

“Yes, this is Hwang Jeong-sik.”

Grumbling. Cold sweat ran down Hwang Jeong-sik’s spine.

Two years ago, Manager Kim Young-in, who relayed JK Vice Chairman Noh Young-guk’s wishes by exposing his personal details one by one, called him for the first time since that day.

“Hmm. “What’s going on, manager?”

Although he pretended to be calm, Hwang Jeong-sik’s voice was trembling with fear.

***

Again two days later.

“I can’t believe such interesting things happen in Korea.”

A man in Japan received some news from art market officials and returned to his hotel room to pack his luggage.

“It’s not something to just ignore. “I have to go right away.”

The man relied on his intuition and picked up his luggage.

A major figure in the British art world.

Now a famous collector on the global market.

It was Walter Senson, also known as Gaeko.
