Turkish art at Chicago gallery

ISTANBUL

‘Istanbul Breeze’ will be on display at Hllton Asmus Gallery until Jan 24.

Ten Turkish artists showcased their work at the 20th Sculpture Objects and Functional Art - SOFA Chicago Fair between Oct. 31 and Nov. 3, as part of the Armaggan Art & Design Gallery’s exhibition at SOFA Chicago.

This year, the gallery became the lead partner of the Turkish art display at SOFA, after having provided pro-bono curatorial services to the TCF showcase at SOFA Chicago in 2012. The TCF has participated in SOFA since 2007 and has helped promote 42 Turkish artists at the show thus far.

The Turkish art display received favorable reviews from visitors, which include thousands of artists from across the world.

The artists’ works have now moved on to the Hilton Asmus Contemporary gallery in Chicago as part of a show titled “Istanbul Breeze,” which opened on Nov. 22.

Featuring paintings, sculpture, glass, metal, ceramic, fiber art and mixed media, the exhibition will open through Jan. 24, 2014.
