Contemporary Art in Turkey Monograph Series

Contemporary Art in Turkey Monograph Series, a series of books published by Yapı Kredi Culture Arts and Publishing between 2007 and 2011 with support from the Vehbi Koç Foundation. It consists of comprehensive monographs about artists from Turkey who have achieved success on an international level. It was compiled under the editorship of René Block, in consultation with Melih Fereli. In the series, each book cover features an authentic offset print prepared by the artist for his or her own monograph. A total 150 of the printed books have been numbered and signed by the artist. The series, which comprises 12 volumes, is published in Turkish and English. An exhibition of contemporary art titled “Adventure İstiklal” and comprising works by the artist or artists featured in each monograph was arranged at the Yapı Kredi Kâzım Taşkent Art Gallery to coincide with the publication of each monograph.
