A major exhibition, ‘Sérénissime Trame: Carpets from the Zaleski Collection and Renaissance Paintings’, opens on Thursday 23 March 2017 at the Galleria Giorgio Franchetti alla Ca’ d’Oro in Venice.
From 21 January to 8 May 2016, Berlin’s Bode Museum is host to an important exhibition, ‘The Madonna of the Würth Collection and Masterworks of the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin’. It is devoted to the work of Hans Holbein the Younger (ca. 1497-1543), one of the greatest portrait painters of the Renaissance, whose name has of course also become synonymous with certain early types of classical Anatolian carpets.
‘Suolo sacro. Tappeti in pittura (XV – XIX secolo)’ is a spring exhibition to be held at Gallery Moshe Tabibnia’s Via Brera premises in Milan from 6 April–2 July 2016. The exhibition will feature 25 rare antique (15th-19th century) oriental carpets from Tabibnia’s incomparable holdings.
The top lot of Sotheby’s London recent (19 April 2016) Orientalist sale features a northwest Persian long rug.
