Only the Young is a major restrospective on Korean experimental art jointly organized by Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Korea, and Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York. This English edition was made to accompany its New York presentation. The thick outlined title lettering was inspired by a poster for an earlt 1970s Korean Avant Garde Association (AG) exhibition designed by one of the represented artists, Song Burnsoo. The cover shows a part of 「Apple」 (1976) by Sung Neung Kyung, where the artist’s youth is evidently visible. The images are arranged in a way that suggests their sequential nature.
