This upscale gallery was founded in 1987 & shows a blend of established & new artists’ works. On the floor above Galerist is the latest venue for Galeri Nev.
Taking a more considered approach than its downstairs neighbour, Nev – founded in Ankara in the 1980s – combines the new art coming out of Turkey with volumes of art history and catalogues. The art on show can vary from understated prints and drawings to outlandish sculpture and installations, but it seems to share a refined taste that doesn’t need to shout too loudly. The gallery’s other Istanbul venue is in the upmarket district of Maçka, maintaining its identity as a successful older brother to the city’s more excitable art venues.
