Exhibition catalogue of Bedri Baykam's solo show at E.M. Donahue Gallery, New York, shown between 4 Jan-1 Feb, 1992. 'This Has Been Done Before' reuses a number of European paintings, such as Ingres' 'Turkish Bath' and remodelled as criticism of the concept of originality, Orientalism, the Canon that is Western Art History, as well as a representation of the artist's tenuous position of the dislocated Turkish artist, who is neither fully accepted at home or abroad. Includes a foreword by Vasif K. Kortun.
