Periodically I look at www.artdaily.com, the First Art Newspaper on the Net (established in 1996). I am glad I looked today, Sunday October 23,2011! Today's story is about Photographs of early christian churches from the Cappadocia Region on exhibit at Penn Museum. What stunning photographs!
Vaults of Heaven: Visions of Byzantium, an exhibition of 13 color photographs by renowned Turkish photographer Ahmet Ertug, is on view October 15, 2011 through February 12, 2012. According to the Penn Museum's website, the exhibition provides "a glimpse into the complex and vivid world of the Byzantine Empire" via "photographs by well-known Turkish photographer Ahmet Ertug". The photographs highlight culturally significant UNESCO heritage sites in present-day Turkey with a focus on the Karanlik, Tokali and Merymana churches located in the dramatic Cappadocian region of central Anatolia. This exhibition was organized by the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology at the University of Michigan".
