A new work by the greatest living Turkish pioneer of abstraction, �Abdurrahman �ztoprak�, has joined the Elgiz Collection and is on display at the Elgiz Museum in Istanbul. �Missa Solemnis: Respect to Beethoven, in memory of Nuvit Ozdogru�, a large-scale masterpiece, which was specifically commissioned for the new exhibition, beautifully demonstrates �ztoprak�s characteristic, sensitive approach to the construction of geometric forms and the manipulation of light and provides an abstract illustration of the artist�s love for the music of, Beethoven. �ztoprak is currently recognized as one of the most accomplished artists of international scope in Turkey. In 1996 the International Association of Plastic Arts awarded him the 50 years of achievement prize. Sevda and Can Elgiz are the largest collectors of Oztoprak�s work in Turkey and have chosen to include several paintings by the artist in the current exhibition, �A view from 1988 up to now�.
