Istanbul Modern Extends Semiha Berksoy Retrospective Through November 22, 2026

Istanbul Modern has extended ‘The Aria of All Colors’, a retrospective devoted to the Turkish artist Semiha Berksoy, through November 22, 2026. The museum announced the extension on August 31, saying visitors would have additional time to experience Berksoy’s “boundary-crossing” world.

The exhibition is presented at Istanbul Modern in Istanbul. The announcement describes it as a comprehensive retrospective of Berksoy, an artist associated with numerous firsts in both Turkey and Europe, but does not provide further detail about the exhibition’s curatorial structure, the number of works on view or its original closing date.

Berksoy’s work is presented in the announcement through the idea of an expansive artistic world and the exhibition’s title, ‘The Aria of All Colors’. No specific paintings, performances or other works are identified in the extension notice.

The new closing date is November 22, 2026. Istanbul Modern directs prospective visitors to its profile for ticket information. The announcement does not list any accompanying talks, performances or other public programmes connected with the extension.

The retrospective will therefore remain on view at Istanbul Modern through the stated November date, giving visitors additional access to the museum’s presentation of Semiha Berksoy’s work.
