Yunhee Min (born 1962 Seoul, Korea) is a Korean-American artist. She lives and works in Los Angeles, California.[1] In 1991 she received a BFA from ArtCenter College of Design.[2] In 1993 she attended the Kunstakademie, Düsseldorf as a guest student under Professor Günther Uecker.

Min's two-fold art practice, which includes both painting and site-projects, is rooted in abstraction, as expressed through color, gesture, surface and form.[3][4][5][6][7][8]
