Foreign Galleries Steal the Show at Contemporary Istanbul
Original: Contemporary Istanbul’s Uneven Roster Saw Foreign Galleries Making the Strongest Case for Turkish Art

Notably, it was the foreign galleries rather than local exhibitors that presented the most compelling presentations of Turkish art, prompting debate about the fair's curation and the balance between international and domestic dealers.
Why now: The art world is discussing the fair's mixed quality and the irony that international booths showcased Turkish art best.
