The exhibition presents viewers with a comprehensive look at the evolution of the modern and contemporary arts produced in Turkey. Texts accompanying the works in the exhibition spaces relate the social, cultural, economic, and political aspects involved in the process of this development. Emphasizing that a work of art is a part of life and exists along with the interactions surrounding it, these texts also describe the historical transformation that art in Turkey underwent in the course of the 20th century.

Focusing on the relationship between art and the traditional, the Exhibition seeks to show how artists employ history in their construction of modernism. “From Traditional to Contemporary: Cultural Memory in Modern Turkish Art” will be focusing on the present and also on the past of modern art, bringing together a selection of objects, such as calligraphies, miniatures, stained glass, textiles, tombaks, and carpets. By juxtaposing these with the arts of Painting, Sculpture, Photography, and Installation, the Exhibition will encourage viewers to establish visual and conceptual relationships between works of art, on the one hand, and history and culture, on the other.

One of the most singular artists of the 21st century, Fernando Botero meets Turkish art lovers for the first time at the Pera Museum with an exhibition comprising a selection of 64 works. Botero has brought a new interpretation to the aesthetics of our times, and the exhibition depicts this interpretation in six sections - the circus, the bullfight, Latin American people, Latin American life, still lifes and versions from past masters of the history of art. The works of the Colombian artist contain many references to his own culture and life, and in a unique style they question the concept of beauty in our century.
