Biography
Siesbye was born in Istanbul on 30 August 1938. After studying sculpture at the Istanbul Academy of Fine Arts from 1956-1958, she left for Germany where she worked in ceramic factories in Höhr-Grenzhausen. She returned two years later to Istanbul to work in the Art Workshop of the Eczacibasi Ceramic Factories. In 1962, she left Istanbul for Copenhagen and worked for the ceramic company Royal Copenhagen as an artist. She opened her own workshop in 1969. She lived in Denmark until 1987, when she decided to go to Paris. From 1975 to 1990, she worked as a ceramic designer for Rosenthal AG and from 1984-2000 for Royal Copenhagen. In 2007, she became a designer for Pasabahce Glass Factories in Turkey and resides in Paris.[1] [2]
She has built an international reputation as a ceramist by modeling bowls. In 2002, "A ceramics Universe/1964-2002," a retrospective exhibition of her works, was exhibited in the Turkish and Islamic Arts Museum in Istanbul and the Danish Museum of Decorative Art in Copenhagen.[3] She is in the collections of more than 34 major museums in the world.
