ARKO, Getty partner to promote transnational art history research

The two institutions signed a partnership to advance transnational art history research ahead of the centennial of video art pioneer Nam June Paik's birth, including a 2026 residency for Korean scholars at the GRI. The institute will provide access to its archives to support studies on Paik's legacy. Further collaboration will be planned through symposiums, exhibitions and publications between Korea and Los Angeles. Yonhap
