1980’lerin Kamusal Alan Heykelleri: Ankara ve İstanbul
Özet
In this present thesis headed “Sculptures in Public Sphere in 1980s: Ankara and İstanbul” the sculptures of public sphere in İstanbul and Ankara are examined and evaluated in the light of cultural, artistic and political environment of the 1980-1989 period.The fluctuations in numereous fields as a result of the 12 September 1980 military coup d'état are observed in the artistic life of the era as well. Such a reflection had its repercussions particularly in the public sphere. By taking the erected and demolished sculptures of the aftermath of the coup d'état, the study aims at an explanation on how the goverments and the local administrations viewed art in the public sphere.
