[문화]What is Mujibo (無價之寶) in Lee Kun-hee’s collection? | YTN

[앵커]

As the deadline for voluntarily returning the inheritance tax of the late Chairman Lee Kun-hee is approaching the end of next month, the direction of the artwork left by the deceased is becoming a hot topic in the art world.

At 13,000 points, the appraisal is estimated at 2~3 trillion won.

Of these, which is the most meaningful uncovered book, that is, a masterpiece that cannot be priced?

This is Chairman Lee Kun-hee’s theory of art collection, saying,’If there is a limited level, the status of the entire collection rises.’

The Lee Kun-hee collection, which includes not only national treasures and treasures, but also works by contemporary Western art masters, is worth 13,000 pieces and an estimated value of 2 to 3 trillion won.

Experts say that the core of the Lee Kun-hee collection is our ceramics, especially white porcelain.

There are numerous national treasure-class white porcelain representing Joseon, including the Moon Jar of National Treasure No. 309.

Painter Lee U-Hwan also says that President Lee Kun-hee’s passion for old ceramics conveys a love beyond imagination.

This blue and white porcelain contains the vision and passion of the deceased for the porcelain.

At the time of purchase, it was so outstanding that experts were dubious, but it became a national treasure as similar fragments were discovered later.

Lee Jong-seon, former vice president of the Hoam Museum of Art, introduced in the book that Chairman Lee is able to directly study pigments and appraise himself.

As the deadline for voluntarily paying the inheritance tax is approaching, the art world, which is concerned about the outflow of artworks abroad, is urging the introduction of a payment system, but the passage of the tax law amendment within this year is uncertain.

Fortunately, Korean cultural properties are prohibited from being exported abroad, so the essence of Lee Kun-hee’s collection will remain in Korea.
