She is one of the most important artists in Turkey. Füsun Onur already developed her own artistic position during her studies in the 1950s and she still pursues this claim today. She often uses everyday objects for her sculptures and is interested in concepts of space and surface. Some of her works extend into the room, interact with the viewer and are sometimes abstract, sometimes witty.
94 installations by Füsun Onur from the last sixty years, some of which fill the room, can be seen in the exhibition.
