G-Dragon’s OTT art and decor collection: Kaws plushies, a George Condo painting and a Man Ray chess set are just a few of the pieces filling the K-pop idol’s museum-like home …
- New York magazine ArtNews included the ‘King of K-pop’ and his BigBang bandmate T.O.P. in its ‘50 Art Collectors to Watch’ list in 2019, with both fans of Anthony Rianda
- As seen on Instagram, the rapper’s million-dollar penthouse in Seoul features Richard Prince’s Millionaire Nurse and George Condo’s Big John – worth US$985,000
Another key piece that connects to his music would be the Maurizio Cattelan figure, a controversial marble sculpture originally titled L.O.V.E. but better known as The Middle Finger, which reminds us of his song Middle Fingers Up.
He’s also been photographed beside George Condo’s Big John, which is worth an estimated US$985,000, and the four-piece set – Jean Louis, Jean Louis with One Ear, Jean Louis’ Wife and Jean Louis’ Wife’s Sister, worth around US$370,000, according to Koreaboo.
Along the hallways of his home are a series of artworks that give off the same vibe as his album covers, as well as the custom designs he creates for his fashion collaborations. Super-saturated, vibrantly colourful and created with a hint of playfulness, the works include an untitled 2016 oil and enamel piece by Rudolf Stingel, the 2018 Ricardo Passaporte piece Exciting Love and Ugo Rondinone’s fluorescent-painted totems called Green, Yellow, Orange, Red, Pink Mountain, as identified by Hypebeast.
