"Istanbul Cool! What’s Happening in Contemporary Turkish Art Now" Exhibition
Leila Heller Gallery
This event has ended.
Istanbul Cool! What’s Happening in Contemporary Turkish Art Now will offer the work of 27 artists living in Turkey, as well as the U.S. and Europe, and will include painting, sculpture, works on paper, and installation. The exhibition presents the work of both well-known and established Turkish artists, and emerging artists whose work will be on view for the first time in the U.S.
As Emin Mahir Balcioglu, Director, Contemporary Istanbul, notes in the catalogue essay, “Contemporary art from Turkey is in the limelight (at last); its debut has been delayed for several reasons, but today, supported by a vibrant emerging economy and an ever increasing group of collectors, it has begun to thrive. This is all very new and remarkable; the fact that Turkish artists are beginning to showcase their works not only in their own country but abroad, and as the days go by are more and more acknowledged, proves that there are considerable transformations at hand.”
