Şairler Sofası

Şairler Sofası, located in Beşiktaş Vişnezade Park in Istanbul, is a captivating sculpture created by Gürdal Duyar in 1998. This artwork celebrates 19th and 20th century Turkish poets, including notable figures such as Behçet Necatigil and Orhan Veli, depicted in a harmonious composition of 'hand in hand' and 'shoulder to shoulder'.
