Wook-kyung Choi (1940–1985) was a Korean Abstract Expressionist painter. She was born in Seoul, South Korea in 1940. Choi attended Seoul National University, and then immigrated to the United States in 1964 where she studied at the Cranbrook Academy of Art and the Brooklyn Museum Art School. She acted as a transmitter of Korean Informel Art to The United States, a form of painting characterized by non-geometrical abstraction. This artistic movement was interpreted by many as a rebellion against the Korean state-led National Art Exhibition System (gukjeon), which preferred Academic Realism as its method of expression. During her career, she also studied and exhibited influences from other Abstract Expressionist artists such as Willem de Kooning, Robert Motherwell, and Mark Rothko.
