Istanbul gallery Dirimart has opened a new space in London's Mayfair district, marking its first expansion outside Turkey. The gallery, founded in 2002, will present a program of international artists alongside its established roster of Turkish and regional names, beginning with a solo show by Turkish artist Burhan Doğançay.
The move signals a strategic push by a major Turkish gallery to establish a global foothold and increase the international visibility of artists from its region. It reflects a broader trend of galleries from emerging art scenes seeking permanent presence in established Western art capitals to access new collectors and networks.
