Clarté Fine Art represents the art-focused division of a broader Turkish corporate group whose principal activities since the early 1990s have included hotel investment and operations, real estate development, and international business ventures.

​

During the late 1990s and early 2000s — a period marked by intense commercial and cultural exchange between Istanbul and the post-Soviet world — the founder’s long-standing interest in fine art, combined with favourable access to artworks entering Turkey at the time, led to the formation of the present collection.

​

This unique historical moment allowed the acquisition of important works spanning Russian Imperial, avant-garde, post-war Soviet, and European artistic traditions. The collection was shaped through direct acquisitions over several years and reflects both historical depth and a curatorial approach informed by period, geography, and artistic context.

​

Today, Clarté Fine Art operates with the following objectives:

​

• Long-term stewardship and preservation of the collection

• International documentation and structured provenance development

• Collaboration with museums, scholars, restorers, and auction houses

• Selective sales, acquisitions, and ongoing refinement of the collection

• Establishment of a permanent London office to coordinate UK and EU art operations

​

All artworks added to the collection undergo expert-supervised validation, with strict attention paid to provenance documentation, acquisition records, and regulatory compliance related to international transport and cultural property frameworks.
