This thesis attempts to analyze the emergence of private art galleries in Turkey by
focusing on specifically the three art galleries, namely Gallery Milar, Helikon Society&rsquo / s
Gallery, and Society of Artlovers&rsquo / Gallery that were opened in Ankara during 1950s. To this
aim, both the artistic movements and governmental policies regarding the artistic field are
mentioned from a historical point of view. Interviews, analysis of relevant literature,
examining periodical magazines, and daily newspapers constitute the main sources of data
collecting. In conclusion, in the light of our findings it is decided that the formation of art
market and emergence of art galleries in Turkey have quite different characteristics from the
western example as a result of its own social, cultural and economic dynamics in the historical
frame.
