Nobody doubts that the contemporary art of Turkey has `arrived' on
the international stage: Hale Tenger's work has been bought by the
Pompidou Centre; Fikret Atay features in Tate Modern's collection;
Kutlug Ataman has been nominated for the Turner Prize; and
collectors flock from around the world to pick up pieces by
exceptionally talented Turkish artists. 'Unleashed' is the most
comprehensive account yet of the recent storm of activity in
Turkey's art scene. A sumptuously illustrated A-Z of over ninety of
the most exciting Turkish contemporary artists, it contains many
exclusive interviews with some of the biggest names in Turkish art,
as well as such up-and-coming artists as Leyla Gediz, Emre Huner
and Ali Kazmal and the Turkish diaspora. It also features
interviews with and profiles of leading curators, gallerists,
collectors, artist-run spaces and museums. The work of the featured
artists is put into further context by three important essays
written by leading curators and critics, which tackle the issues of
identity, and the relationship of Turkish art to international
artistic trends.
