A selection from the Cathedral and Diocesan Museum, Vienna Otto Mauer Collection.= 20. yüzyil ustalarindan baski, desen ve suluboyalar. Viyana Katedral ve Baspiskoposluk Müzesi, Otto Mauer Koleksiyonu'ndan bir seçme. [Exhibition catalogue]. Monsignore Otto Mauer was a Catholic priest. He was also a passionate, foresighted collector who, apart from his position as a clergyman, was enthusiastic about all domains of contemporary art and regardless of their beliefs or origins, approached all "avant-garde" artists with the same openness. As one of the most outstanding collections of Modern Austrian art, the names of the artists represented within the collection is almost a "who is who" of post-1945 Austrian art. By encompassing a wide spectrum from "classical" modern to postmodern, Mauer tried to create a "reference collection," analogous to an atlas of art history. By World War II, he had already begun collecting with great resolution, the lithographs of the leading representatives of Parisian modern art, as well as the original works of German and Austrian artists. Gallery St Stephan, which he founded in 1954, evolved into the leading avant-garde gallery of Vienna under his management in the 1950s and 60s; it also acquired a considerable and well-deserved fame on the international art scene. Otto Mauer's relationship with art was always defined by his personal and amicable connections with the artists. His collection, which he was able to expand uninterruptedly until 1973, by purchases and artists' gifts, must be perceived not only as an indication of his progressive interest in art, but also as a very subjective interpretation of modern Austrian painting.

2020New English Paperback. Demy 8vo. (22 x 14 cm). In English. [vii], [1], 107 p., b/w ills. According to the "Great Man Theory", leaders are born with a set of specific skills and traits that makes an individual destined for a leadership position. Also known as a trait perspective to leadership, it suggests that certain individuals have special innate or inborn characteristics or qualities that differentiates them from non-leaders. Specifically, these characteristics were believed to include height, weight, appearance, intelligence, disposition and others. Furthermore, charismatic and inspirational leaders instil faith in a better future for the followers in terms of their self-expression, self-evaluation, and self-consistency. The history of Ottomans is complicated and complex in terms of its emperors from the beginning to the end, in addition to severe relations with Europe and Asia. In this sense, especially the ascension period constitutes great importance; because of the fact that the six emperors of the period turned the Ottoman State into an "Empire" with their individual traits and acts. Therefore, it is worth to consider them as "great men" and evaluate them in this frame in order to construe the claim. It is expected that this book sheds light to the future researches in terms of evaluating both the emperors of Ottoman Empire and the other World emperors in terms of great man theory.
1927Very Good Turkish Paperback. Cr. 8vo. (20 x 15 cm). In Turkish. 35 p., 32 b/w plates. Foxing on the cover. Otherwise a good copy. Nazmi Ziya Güran, (1881-1937), was a Turkish Impressionist painter and art teacher. He was born in Istanbul. He did manage to obtain some private tutoring from Hoca Ali Riza then, following his father's death in 1902, he quietly enrolled at the Academy. He studied with the Italian Orientalist painter, Salvatore Valeri and the sculptor Osgan Efendi, but had some difficulty adapting to the school's conservative teaching methods and came into conflict with Osman Hamdi Bey, the Director. A meeting with the French painter Paul Signac, who visited Istanbul while sailing around the Mediterranean, may have influenced his desired style. The conflicts continued and, in 1907, when he submitted his final exam pictures, he found his graduation delayed by a year. Bedri Rahmi Eyuboglu was a Turkish painter and poet. His first one-man show was in Bucarest at the Hasefer Gallery in 1935. The exhibition was organized by his future wife Ernestine. They were married in Istanbul in 1936. Bedri Rahmi was a very prolific artist; he painted frescoes at the "Lido restaurant" in Istanbul (1943), a large panel at the Ankara Opera House (1946). First and Only Edition. OCLC 909450866.
2019New English Paperback. 4to. (29 x 24 cm). In English and Turkish. 219, [5] p., color and b/w ills. Canan Tolon. You tell me.= Sen söyle. Curated by Levent Çalikoglu. Edited by N. Can Kantarci. September 2019 - February 2020. [Exhibition catalogue]. The exhibition "You Tell Me" organized by Istanbul Modern is a cross section of Canan Tolon s artistic practice which spans from the 1980s to today. "You Tell Me" aims to bring Tolon s unique expressive and technical pursuit into view through her works, which range from drawings to photographs and paintings to installations. While bringing together notable examples of the transformations and developments in Tolon s artistic practice, the exhibition also presents re-creations of some of her works that have already secured their place in the history of art. Canan Tolon s artistic practice centers on nature's continual renewal and on architecture as a cultural enterprise. Tolon designs an intellectual and visual world around the resistance between nature and architecture, and the contradiction and consequences borne out of their encounter. Her experimental works always remind one of the border between life and death, as she makes the viewers question whether these images are real or illusion, photographs or paintings. Incorporating natural materials such as grass seed and water in her paintings, Tolon lets nature come to life by setting metal pieces on her canvases and leaving these outside as a means to let weather transform them. For Tolon, traces of time become an important starting point for the development of her paintings. The architectural sections that show vast, endless and abandoned geographies in her compositions remind one of the struggle of humans against nature and the processes of destruction, construction and reconstruction. In these paintings where every little detail is constructed with paint, Tolon depicts the human processes of transforming and reforming nature, and the chaos, conflict and uncertainty caused by these processes in a distressful atmosphere. Without a doubt, Canan Tolon is one of the most original and creative artists of her generation in terms of the richness of the variety of her areas of research and her intellectual breadth. Tolon s works in this exhibition provide us with the opportunity to rethink nature and environment as well as architecture and culture, which impact both the artist and the rest of humanity today.

With the aim of enhancing the global visibility of Istanbul, the program has invited artists to collaborate with masters in a variety of traditional crafts ranging from wood carving and carpet weaving to metal spinning and quilt making. "Guests: Artists and Craftspeople" features the works of 10 international artists who have been inspired by the crafts of Istanbul. From Baku to London, Mexico City to Copenhagen: Participating artists focus on the themes of craft and tradition in their production processes or work with different materials and techniques.

Inviting the viewer to think about Istanbul's long-established craft heritage, the exhibition also includes historical objects that shed light on the cultural richness of Istanbul. These were borrowed from the Harbiye Military Museum and the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality's Libraries and Museums Directorate. Curated by Öykü Özsoy and Ümit Mesci of Istanbul Modern's Curatorial Staff, the exhibition "Guests: Artists and Craftspeople" will be on view until August 23. (Ist. Modern Museum).
2019New English Original cloth bdg. 4to. (29 x 24 cm). In English and Turkish. 217, [3] p., color and b/w ills. Altan Gürman. Prep. by Basak Doga Temür, Süreyyya Evren. Texts by Baris Acar, Selen Ansen, Ahu Antmen, Duygu Demir, Bora Gürdas, Ali Kayaalp, Iz Öztat, Nermin Sabasili. Every endeavour to review and write the history of contemporary art in Turkey calls upon the name of a pioneering, founding artist who marks a turning point, a moment of beginning: Altan Gürman (1935-1976). Altan Gürman s oeuvre is brought to viewers for the first time in such an exhaustive capacity through one of the inaugural exhibitions at Arter s new building in Dolapdere. The catalogue accompanying the exhibition, curated by Basak Doga Temür, not only features almost all of Altan Gürman s works included in the Arter Collection, but also presents to readers various documents, drawings, sketches, correspondences, photographs, class notes, slides, and meticulous arrangements from the artist s archives, as well as his theses permeated with a new concept of art that would leave its imprint on the 1960s and 1970s. The book includes essays by Baris Acar, Selen Ansen, Ahu Antmen, Duygu Demir, Bora Gu?rdas, Ali Kayaalp, Iz Öztat and Nermin Saybasili which carefully reread Altan Gürman from an art historical perspective, address the artist s impact and various stages of evolution, and open Gürman s works to new encounters by approaching each one individually. Both the exhibition and the accompanying book pay a collective homage to a mind-opening artist who passed away at a young age
