About Us
We build a bridge between the vibrant art scenes of Seoul and Berlin. BCF provides a structured framework where European curators, institutions, and artists can discover verified Korean artworks and establish long-term professional relationships.
BCF operates through a clear value cycle—Expand, Curate, Connect, and Contextualize—to sustain impact beyond the fair. Through rigorous selection and direct dialogue, we offer European partners reliable access to Korea’s contemporary art within a globally legible framework.
We address the mid-range market gap, fostering sustainable collecting and practical transactions that build a resilient collector base. Backed by curatorial expertise and a Seoul–Berlin operation, BCF translates the momentum of K-Culture into long-term engagement with Korean contemporary art.
