Bruggemann, Werner and H. Bohmer - Rugs of the Peasants and Nomads of Anatolia

Munich, Kunst & Antiquitaten, 1983. Hardcover. Black cloth boards with gold gilt lettering on cover and spine, illustrated flyleaves, black abd color illustrated dust jacket with white lettering, 356 pp. bw and color illustrations. "With this exhibition .. we move closer to correcting the imbalance in our knowledge of one of the most beautiful, historically significant, and intellectually provocative of wearing traditions, that of Turkey. This imbalance has been due to the false assumption that because Turkey was close to Europe, and its weavings long known in Europe to a certain degree, we had a relatively complete understanding of Turksih rugs. This important exhibition and its exemplary catalogue provide us with a challenge to confront our ignorance, while the rugs themselves must, but their extraordinary beauty, provoke all who see them to consider more carefully the richness, creativity, and historical importance of the weaving traditions from which they come." - quoted from Foreword. VG/VG- (book shows very minimal signs of shelf wear, all pages clear and intact - dust jacket shows wear at edges) .
