_An Exhibition of High Ottoman Art

Description

The exhibition, The Age of Sultan Suleyman the Magnifi­cent, which opened at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., in the winter of 1987, summered at the Art Institute in Chicago, and made its New York debut the following fall, was one of the most exquisite expositions of objects I have ever seen. It consisted of some twenty-seven examples of writing on paper or of aspects of book-making such as bindings; fifty-nine paintings, nearly all of them miniatures and most of them illustrating a text; sixty-one objects in various techniques of industrial or decorative arts; fifty-three textiles or rugs, and forty-eight ceramics. Their shapes were heterogeneous: at times they were totally two­dimensional; at other times they were meant to be viewed from several directions or even in movement (as, for example, with the fabulous robes).
