Japan to host Ara Guler photo show
An exhibition featuring the works of renowned Turkish-Armenian photographer Ara Guler will open in Kyoto, Japan on 30 June.
Following successful runs in London and Paris, the Guler show will be exhibited at 800-year-old historical Tofukuji Temple in Kyoto through July 10, timed to coincide with the G20 Summit in the country.
The exhibition’s next stop will be New York City, U.S., at the end of September and is expected to reach many tourists from different countries worldwide.
Another exhibition of the great photographer’s works is set to open at the Turkish Embassy in Italy, Rome in January 2020.
Guler, nicknamed the “Eye of Istanbul,” passed away at a hospital in the Turkish capital in October 2018 after attempts to revive him failed. For years he had suffered from kidney failure and underwent dialysis three times a week.
