I would like to start an ebusiness located in Korea. I've seen many
high res fine art images such as Van Gogh from Erich Lessing and
akg-images. Unfortunately they are already having an exclusive
partnership with some comapnies in Korea.

I'd strongly like to know what other companies are dealing with such famous
painting images as Van Gogh, Birth of Venus, etc.

Here are some art libraries I've licensed hi-res images from.  I have
no idea, though, whether they have business releationships already
with Korea:
