'Cengiz Çekil: 21.08.1945-10.11.2015 opens with a monograph on the artist by Erden Kosova. The text traces Çekil's life from his native town of Niğde, to his training in Ankara, teaching post in Van, hist time in Paris as an art student, his academic life in Izmir, and his final years in Istanbul; and examines his productions made in the intertwining roles of student, educator, and artist. Edited by Ezgi Ariduru and Merve Elveren, the publication aims to discuss Çekil's practice, rather than simply narrate it, and accordingly includes in-depth readings of the artist's works.' —excerpt from the Preface by Meriç Öner

This book includes articles by Ahu Antmen, Sevgi Avcı, Vasıf Kortun, and Sarah Neel-Smith, with the transcript of an interview between Hans Ulrich Obrist and the artist.
