Summary:

Offering an in-depth survey of Çekil's oeuvre, the publication serves as a comprehensive resource, potentially leading to further research endeavours on the artist and his practice. Cengiz Çekil: 21.08.1945-10.11.2015 opens with a monograph by Erden Kosova, which takes on a journey through Çekil's life--beginning in his native Bor, followed by Ankara, Van, Paris, Izmir, and finally Istanbul. The text meticulously examines his educational background and artistic practice as well as his academic roles and contributions. Edited by Ezgi Arıduru and Merve Elveren, the publication brings together articles by Ahu Antmen, Sevgi Avcı, Vasıf Kortun, and Sarah Neel-Smith, alongside interviews by Vahap Avşar and Hans Ulrich Obrist. --Text from publisher's website.
