Summary:This paper explores the cross-section of meanings and values attributed to the Korean pictorial work One Hundred Boys at Play, now part of the Denver Art Museum’s permanent collection, examining its potential for evolving interpretation. As this object prepares for its upcoming display in the Korean gallery of an encyclopedic museum in the United States, this study serves as a preliminary curatorial step. It aims to illuminate the artwork’s multiple meanings for contemporary viewers, contextualized within the historical and societal frameworks in which these significances were constructed.
