"Works by the Dutch painter Marius Bauer from the collections of important museums in America and Europe, especially of the Rijkmuseum in Amsterdam, are being presented to art lovers during the four-month exhibition. Bauer made several journeys through Turkey and was a great admirer of Turkish culture. With drawings, etchings, water colors, oil paintings and letters, the exhibition takes the visitor on Bauer's travels through Turkey. Bauer arrived for the first time in Istanbul by boat in 1888. He disembarked and was immediately captivated by the life, the culture and the industriousness that he encountered there. Narrow streets, markets, bazaars and intimate sightlines, full of people engaged in everyday activities: playing music, trading wares, or on their way to or from the mosque. Occasionally he would catch a glimpse of the Sultan and his retinue. It can be concluded, from the letters that Bauer wrote in Turkey to family and friends, that he undertook long walks every day with his sketchbook under his arm. This resulted in a large number of sketches and drawings that formed the starting point of a great quantity of work when he returned to the Netherlands. Speaking at the opening of the exhibition on May 15, Sabanci University Head of the Board of Trustees, Güler Sabanci said, 'Like all artists enchanted by the east, Bauer was a traveler. He undertook his first voyage, during which he would fall under the spell of the east, in 1888 when he was 21. He sailed to Ottoman Turkey, stopped at Izmir and then made his way to Istanbul. We are overjoyed to have opportunity to bring Bauer's works back to the country he could never forget.".
