The archive of artist Nur Koçak, one of the earliest representatives of photorealism in Turkey, is now available at archives.saltresearch.org. Focusing on Koçak’s work from the 1960s to the present, it was digitized and cataloged following “Our Blissful Souvenirs,” her most comprehensive exhibition, held at Salt Beyoğlu and Salt Galata in 2019, and added to Salt Research’s artist archives. Comprising 984 records, the collection includes documents and images relating to works exhibited in Turkey and abroad, as well as sketches, drawings, and studies from her student years at the Istanbul State Academy of Fine Arts.
The archive can be explored at https://archives.saltresearch.org/handle/123456789/211968.
