Read my lips: Tai Haf Heb Drigolyn (Uninhabited Summer Houses), Rethink Everything
Ara Guler
Saatchi Gallery, London
THE WORK of Ara Guler may not be too familiar in this country but he was one of Magnum agency’s leading photographers over many years and produced a large body of stunning work.
Guler, who died last year, was born in 1928 in Istanbul. The son of Armenian parents — something this Turkish state-sponsored exhibition prefers to ignore — throughout his life he was regarded as a significant global representative of Turkey’s creative photography.
