Tem Art Gallery

Tem was born in 1986 when I, as an artlover felt something was not going right in our art world. I was unable to find information on artists whose exhibitions I saw and whose works I bought. As a result, I decided to open a gallery and perform these presentations thorougly. The audio-visual shows we did for eight years with eighty slides for every exhibition started this way. Parallel to this, in 1988 we started with the Sabri Berkel retrospective, the sixteen-page brochures which we still mail to more than two thousand people on our mailing list every exhibition. Then in 1991, we opened our "From Çelebi to Gürbüz, Five Years in the Service of Art" exhibition at the Atatürk Cultural Center and published our first book. This was followed by "Selma Gürbüz - Sex of Angels" 1992, "Hüseyin Ertunç - Let's Look at Our Beloved with Love" 1993, "Ömer Kaleşi" 1993, "Ömer Kaleşi - Balkan Drama" 1999, "Ömer Kaleşi" 2001 books.
