About: Burhan Doğançay Series

This is a list of creative periods (series) by Burhan Doğançay (11 September 1929 – 16 January 2013), a Turkish-American artist, who became famous for translating realistic objects such as billboards, posters, graffiti and other street art into seemingly abstract compositions. Considered the most influential Turkish-born artist of the post war-era, Dogancay's oeuvre is categorized into fourteen distinct series in which he predominantly used collage and fumage. While Dogançay spent most of his artistic career in New York City he always remained closely connected to his native Turkey. In addition, Dogancay created a photographic archive called Walls Of The World (1975-2012), which encompasses about 30,000 slides of walls in approximately 500 cities in over 100 countries.
