Product Description
Füsun Onur began her art practice in the 1960s, producing works that what beyond the traditional confines of painting and sculpture. In the decades since, she has become a leading figure in Turkish contemporary art, both through her inclusion of everyday, ephemeral materials in her works and through her conceptual and minimalist approach.
"Once upon a time...", a new installation conceived for the Pavilion of Turkey at the 59th International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia, curated by Bige Örer, exemplifies not just the artist's recent work, but the narrative and autobiographical elements that have characterized her art for more than half a century. A companion to the exhibition, this book is the most comprehensive monograph ever published on the artist. It details almost all of her works, and includes twenty-six new essay by leading figures in the international art world, as well as archival fragments and interviews.
Edited by Bige Örer and Nilüfer Şaşmazer
