Minimalist art meets austere concrete — Lee Ufan's Mono-ha philosophy made physical by Andō Tadao's architecture.

The third Andō Tadao museum on Naoshima houses the works of Lee Ufan, the Korean-born artist and philosopher who led the Mono-ha movement of the 1960s and '70s. His minimalist works — stones placed on steel plates, single brushstrokes on vast canvases — require the kind of silence and space that this museum provides in abundance. The encounter between Andō's austere concrete and Lee's meditative art creates a stillness you can almost touch.
