"Beneath the Same Blue": Istanbul Modern opens its 10th collection exhibition
The new exhibition, which opened on 8 September across several floors of the museum, explores modern and contemporary art in Türkiye since the 1940s in dialogue with international works, using blue as a colour and backdrop for seas, horizons and dreams. Over 160 artists are featured, among them Fahrelnissa Zeid, Burhan Doğançay and Bedri Rahmi Eyüboğlu alongside Anselm Kiefer, William Kentridge, Tracey Emin and Olafur Eliasson.
