Art space spreads
Located in the old finance district of the late Ottoman Empire in Karaköy in a historic building boasting a vast exhibition space spanning five floors, the gallery has hosted several solo and group exhibitions by artists from Turkey and beyond. The gallery was founded by German textile magnate Anna Laudel with the aim of supporting the work of Turkish and international artists. The gallery is directed by Ferhat Yeter. Dedicated to supporting artists by providing a prominent contemporary exhibition platform and by developing a greater understanding of contemporary art in the Turkish region, Anna Laudel opened its second gallery in Düsseldorf in May 2019 to expand its reach.
As well as hosting a dynamic exhibitions program, the gallery aims to represent Turkish artists at an international level by showcasing their latest projects at leading international art fairs. Recently, Anna Laudel participated in Art Dubai, Art Karlsruhe in Germany and Plan B in New York to represent Turkey.
The spacious gallery building also features an Art Shop, offering reasonably priced prints, photographs, sculptures, ceramics and art journals aimed at supporting a new generation of art buyers and emerging collectors and hosts the latest collections of luxury Danish jewelry brand Monies, as the only commercial outlet of this acclaimed design label in Turkey.
