"In dynamite news for attendance at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMoMA), the institution is planning a sprawling exhibition featuring works from the personal collection of RM, a member of the hit K-Pop group BTS. The show RM x SFMoMA will open a year from now, running from October 2026 to February 2027. It will feature around 200 objects drawn from both RM's personal holdings and SFMoMA's permanent collection, curated by the popstar himself in collaboration with the museum curators América Castillo and Hyoeun Kim."
""We live in an age defined by boundaries," RM said in a statement. "This exhibition at SFMoMA reflects those boundaries: between East and West, Korea and America, the Modern and the contemporary, the personal and the universal. I don't want to prescribe how these works should be seen; whether out of curiosity or study, all perspectives are welcome. My only hope is that this exhibition can be a small but sturdy bridge for many.""
SFMoMA will present RM x SFMoMA from October 2026 through February 2027, featuring about 200 objects drawn from RM's personal collection and the museum's permanent holdings. RM curates the presentation in collaboration with curators América Castillo and Hyoeun Kim. The selection includes Korean modern and contemporary artists such as Yun Hyong-keun, Kim Yun Shin, Park Rehyun, To Sangbong, Kwon Okyon and Chang Ucchin. Those works will be paired with pieces by Mark Rothko, Agnes Martin, Henri Matisse, Georgia O'Keeffe, Paul Klee and Korean abstractionist Kim Whanki. RM's prior artistic engagements include using Yun Hyong-keun's Blue (1972) on his Indigo album cover and supporting exhibitions in Korea.
