As the Republic of Turkey celebrates its centennial, Koç Family Galleries 459 and 460, dedicated to the art of the Ottoman world, highlight seven modern and contemporary works that engage with Islamic and Ottoman cultural heritage. Curated by Deniz Beyazıt, each of the artists in the exhibition has developed a distinct artistic identity by utilizing, renewing, or diverging from the styles, genres, and creative traditions of the Ottoman past, while incorporating the methods and principles of twentieth- and twenty-first-century Turkish, European, and American art. The dialogues between these modern and historical works bridge the gaps of time and space to participate in a larger, global dialogue of modernity. Dialogues: Modern Artists and the Ottoman Past can be visited until June 30, 2024.
