"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.
