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.

Pera Museum, in collaboration with Istanbul Foundation for Culture and Arts (İKSV), is one of the main venues for this year’s 15th Istanbul Biennial from 16 September to 12 November 2017. Through the biennial, we will be sharing detailed information about the artists and the artworks.
The exhibition “Look At Me! Portraits and Other Fictions from the ”la Caixa” Contemporary Art Collection” examined portraiture, one of the oldest artistic genres, through a significant number of works of our times. Paintings, photographs, sculptures and videos shaped a labyrinth of gazes that invite spectators to reflect themselves in the social mirror of portraits.
It is understood from Evliya Çelebi’s well-known Book of Travels that the history of sea baths goes as far back as the 17th century; their acceptance and popularization take place in mid-19th century as a result of Westernization, among other things.
