Karaköy

Karaköy: The ferries, identified with Istanbul by their uniqe design and one of the indispensable symbols of Istanbul, are used by thousands of people to connect the two sides of the city. It is one of the public transports that allow you to see the silhouettes of Istanbul such as the Maiden Tower, Galata Tower, palaces and bridges and breathe in the air of the Bosphorus.

By combining our own passion for art with our outspoken support for the artists who create it, we are launching a sustainable project that will appeal to our art-loving customers.

The project aims to help introduce a new artist to a wider audience each year and help encourage the creation of art and help to sustains it for many years to come.

To launch our project, we began to collaborate with our first artist, Ada Tuncer. Our artist is proud to present a special selection of her work, designed around the theme "Istanbul Heritage," and focuses on historical places and heritage sites.

The selection represents the many heritage districts of Istanbul that each lend their unique flavor to make up the whole of the great city, including districts such as Galata, Kadıköy, Karaköy, Eminönü, Taksim, Üsküdar and such timeless sites as the Serpent Column, the Theodosius Obelisk, the City Walls of Istanbul, the Topkapı Palace, the Basilica Cistern, the Medusa Statue, the Galata Tower, the Haydarpaşa Railway Station, the Bull Statue, the Maiden's Tower and details from İlhan Koman's Mediterranean sculptures. In the works, these details are accompanied by Istanbul's cats, seagulls, trees, and tulips.

The selection, numbering just 900 pieces, will also have the benefit of being a limited collection that will increase in value over the years.
