Hana Bank is showcasing collections of a New York art gallery on a media wall at its private banking center in Seoul, as a part of efforts to offer a range of services for offline customers in the digital banking era, the company said Tuesday.
The media wall exhibition has been made possible in cooperation with Easel, a Seoul-based company that specializes in providing art-related content.
The exhibition is exclusively for clients of the private banking center in Seoul's affluent area of Apgujeong. The banking center mainly deals with wealth inheritance.
Clients can enjoy works that were on display at the Kasmin Gallery in New York during its 2021 exhibition called, "Between the Earth and Sky."
Some 22 monolithic sculptures that bring together examples of the form spanning from 900 A.D. to 2019 were featured back then.
Titled "Trip to Kasmin Gallery, New York," the media wall exhibition is a part of a broader virtual art tour being planned by Hana Bank.
"We've come up with the project to offer banking services that combine finance and art," the lender said in a press release. "We will strive to come up with high-quality services for customer satisfaction."
