EXTRAORDINARY MINAS | PERA MUSEUM

Extraordinary Minas: The Story of Inspiration and Innovation in Kütahya Tiles and Ceramics delves into the singular imagination of Minas Avramidis (1877–1954), a craftsman who transcended the rigid conventions of a Kütahya ceramics factory. Eschewing traditional motifs, Minas conjured a universe of animal figures, musical instruments, and abstract compositions. In an environment that allowed little room for personal expression, he carved out his own artistic path. The show assembles plates, panels, and wall tiles, all bearing his unmistakable signature. You’ll never look at Turkish ceramics the same way again.
