Abstract

On December 18, 2007, a unique group of Kütahya plates appeared on the art market. They came from the collection of Jean Louis Thau, a famous collector who traveled around the souqs of Fez in his red Volvo and amassed a reputable Moroccan jewelry collection. In addition to this collection, Monsieur Thau had a passion for Islamic art, within the scope of which he acquired the four Kütahya ceramic plates shortly before his death. Depicting the popular folk tale of Genovefa, the plates were all signed by Minas Avramidis, a renowned ceramics master of Kütahya. After a fierce bidding process, the Suna and İnan Kıraç Foundation acquired the plates at auction and included them in its Kütahya Tiles and Ceramics Collection, one of the foundation’s three collections housed at Pera Museum.

Previously, these plates were featured in two exhibitions at Pera Museum—one permanent and one temporary. They were part of the permanent collection exhibition Kütahya Tiles and Ceramics between 2008 and 2014. In 2023, marking the centennial of the Republic of Türkiye, the Suna and İnan Kıraç Foundation organized a temporary exhibition curated by Ulya Soley, entitled Souvenirs of the Future; the plates were displayed in Memory of Objects, one of the exhibition’s four thematic sections.
