Turkey, the bridge between continents, has witnessed many golden ages of art throughout the centuries, and today it is once again home to an extraordinarily vibrant contemporary art scene. Internationally recognized artists such as Kutluğ Ataman are relentlessly pushing boundaries while others such as Gülsün Karamustafa, Hale Tenger, Taner Ceylan, İrfan Önürmen, Banu Cennetoğlu, Ahmet Öğüt, Canan Tolon, Ömer Ali Kazma, Haluk Akakçe and Ramazan Bayrakoğlu are producing works of breathtaking beauty and great conceptual depth. Yet these represent only the tip of the iceberg.
