Zerrin Bölükbas?, born in late years of Ottoman Empire and got education of art in an Academy in early republican period, is one of the pioneer women sculptors in our history of art. Presenting herself as an active woman artisan in Turkey of 1950s, Bölükba? has been in harmony with the image of modern woman in a social life, by her posture towards living and the identities (workingwoman – artisan woman – wife, mother) she assumed in life. Therefore, Zerrin Bölükbas? presents a case of taking the form of flesh and bone of image of being educated, well informed and liberal woman, in Turkish society. Bölükbas? participated in countless shows and was awarded with numerous awards throughout her forty-year art life and has been active in the sphere of masculine sculpture.
