Princess Fahrelnissa Zeid

Bozlu Art Project Mongeri Building is presenting an exhibition prepared in tandem with the publication of "Fahrelnissa Zeid: Toward a Storm," which is one of the most comprehensive monographs on the life and works of Fahrelnissa Zeid (1901 - 1991), who is considered one of the most significant woman artists of 20th century.

Journalist and writer Hatice Utkan Özden's first book "Çağdaş Sanat ve Yaratıcılık" (Contemporary Art and Creativity), published by Morena, opens the door to the artists unknown and the hidden world of creativity.

It is essential to know the importance of the legacy of Princess Fahrelnissa Zeid, who is a Turkish noblewoman, and pass it on to younger generations, according to her son Prince Ra'ad bin Zeid, the prince of Jordan. "We rely on younger generations to carry on the legacy," he said during an interview with Hürriyet Daily News. 

Tate Modern is presenting the United Kingdom's first retrospective of Fahrelnissa Zeid, a pioneering artist best-known for her large-scale colorful canvases that fused European approaches to abstract art with Byzantine, Islamic and Persian influences.

Istanbul Modern is presenting a selection from its comprehensive collection of works by Fahrelnissa Zeid, a pioneer of modern art in Turkey and one of the first exponents of abstract art. The exhibition will be on view until July 30. 

The State Museum of Oriental Art in Moscow has opened a special exhibition project titled "The Bilge Collection" until April 2, providing a glimpse at contemporary Turkish art in the Russian capital.

The exhibition aims to provide an insight into Turkish art through the eyes of Muhsin Bilge (1944 - 2014), a renowned Turkish collector and a passionate lover and patron of art.
