Zilberman Gallery

Zilberman Gallery

Zilberman Gallery, founded in Istanbul in 2008, stages 10-12 exhibitions every year at its main gallery spaces in Istanbul and Berlin and at the project space. The gallery occupies two separate floors of Mısır Apartment, one of the most famous examples of art nouveau architecture in Istanbul. In 2016, Zilberman Gallery opened its new Berlin space in a turn-of-the-century building in Berlin’s Charlottenburg neighborhood.

No other building in Istanbul can claim to sum up the city today quite like Misir Aparmani, a beautiful 19th-century apartment block presiding over Beyoğlu. It boasts not only the chic 360 bar and club on the top floor but one of the city’s best galleries. Over the past decade, Galerist has hosted fashion designer Hüseyin Çağlayan’s photography projects and stylish, hyper-realistic paintings by Taner Ceylan, among many others. You might not be challenged to think very much here, but it all looks very, well … cool.
