Exhibition Tour

Pera Museum presents a guided exhibition tour series titled Pursuing the Masters' Legacy alongside the Coffee Break exhibition. The second tour examines plates depicting the 'Story of Geneviève,' on which Kütahya ceramic master Minas Avramidis (1877-1954) blended mythology with the intricacies of ceramic art. This depiction, which emphasizes the concepts of loyalty and virtue, sheds light on the social changes in the Ottoman Empire during the first quarter of the 20th century.
Pursuing the Masters’ Legacy explores the works of ceramic masters from Kütahya. This series of exhibition tours focuses on the second golden age of tile and ceramic production in Kütahya, spanning the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The period's ceramic art was significantly shaped by four masters: Hafız Mehmed Emin Efendi, Minas Avramidis, the brothers Artin and Garabet Minasyan, and David Ohannesyan. Their works are examined in detail, providing participants the opportunity to see pieces not displayed in the exhibition.
The 30-minute guided tour is free of charge, and the language is Turkish. The quota is limited.
To join the tour, you can make a reservation by e-mailing at resepsiyon@peramuzesi.org.tr.

Objects also bear the memory of the geography to which they relate. Ceramics, with soil as their primary material, are directly linked to the land where they are produced: forging a direct relationship with earth, ceramics bear the memory of the soil where they come from.
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.
Frida Kahlo was born on July 6, 1907 in Coyoacán, Mexico. Exactly 47 years from now, before she died in the same city and her beloved Mexico, many things would happen; she’d meet Diego Rivera, become a world-renowned artist, and allow many of her fans to dress like her on Halloween.
