With extensive experience as an independent curator, educator, and artist, Wook Choi established Crecloo Art Gallery in New York in 2004. Later, in 2007, her co-founded Wook + Lattuada Gallery in partnership with Flavio Lattuada. Situated in Milan, Italy, the gallery occupies a historic space originally established in 1963 by the legendary art dealer Fiorella La Lumia. Today, the Lattuada Gallery stands as one of Milan’s oldest and most esteemed galleries, recognized as a prestigious third-generation gallery.

Specializing in contemporary art, Wook + Lattuada Gallery is active in both primary and secondary markets. The gallery boasts the largest collection of Futurist works worldwide and also features a diverse selection of 20th-century Italian modern art.

In the primary market, the gallery represents an array of contemporary artists, showcasing works that range from seminal minimalist pieces to large-scale installations, media art, video works, and collaborations with architects. This commitment to diverse representation emphasizes the gallery’s dynamic approach to contemporary art.

Lattuada Gallery has also pioneered a new Italian Art Movement known as Rigorismo. Rooted in Lucio Fontana’s Spazialismo (Spatialism) of the late 1940s and inspired by the German Zero movement of the 1950s, Rigorismo reflects a profound exploration of space, material, and form. This movement includes Italy's leading artists, capturing the genesis, progression, and future of Italian spatial concepts in art.

Additionally, Wook + Lattuada gallery represents artists such as Angiola Churchill, Gabriele Maquignaz, Raymundo Sesma, Giuseppe Amadio and Nando Stevoli, Edoardo Menini and Pierluigi de Lutti further enriching the gallery’s contribution to contemporary art and culture.
