Gallery Talk
April 25, 2014 / 19:00
In the early 20th century French diplomat August Boppe’s interest in art history and Turkish culture lead to the formation of a wide collection, an exhibition in Paris titled “Turkish Fashion in 18thCentury”, and the birth of a new research area exploring Ottoman exoticism in European culture. Günsel Renda will explore this topic, ranging from the 18th to the 20th centuries, from personal endeavours to diplomatic relations, in light of its protagonists, the paintings in the Suna and İnan Kıraç Foundation Collection.
The talk will be in Turkish.
