AB  - "This vivid portrait of the art world in Turkey explores how a cohort of influential Turkish modernists built a new art world in Istanbul and Ankara after World War II. The entrepreneur and female gallerist Adalet Cimcoz, the art critic (and future prime minister) Bülent Ecevit, and artists like Aliye Berger, Füreya Koral, and Bedri Rahmi Eyüboğlu were focused on issues beyond aesthetics. On the canvas, in criticism, and in the gallery, these cultural pioneers also grappled with economic questions, attempting to transform their country from a 'developing nation' into a major player in the global markets of the postwar period. Elucidating for the first time landmark works of Turkish modernism, along with an innovative array of sources--from gossip columns to economic theory--Sarah-Neel Smith reveals the art world as a key site for the articulation of Turkish nationhood in the mid-twentieth century. This groundbreaking study offers economic development as a new framework for analyzing global modernisms of the twentieth century"--
