Po Kim emigrated to New York from South Korea in the mid-1950s. He associated with the abstract expressionists, but managed to keep a serene Korean sensibility flowing through his work. In 2017, the Korea Society mounted a solo exhibition entitled Po Kim: In Search of Arcadia. His work is found in numerous prominent public collections including the Guggenheim and the Art Institute of Chicago.
