  • The Emamzadeh Yahya at Varamin: a Present History of a Living Shrine, 2018–20
    Journal of Material Cultures in the Muslim World 1 (2020) 120–149 brill.com/mcmw The Emamzadeh Yahya at Varamin: A Present History of a Living Shrine, 2018–20 Keelan Overton Independent Scholar, Santa Barbara, CA, USA [email protected] Kimia Maleki Graduate Student, History of Art, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD, USA [email protected] Abstract The Emamzadeh Yahya at Varamin, a tomb-shrine located south of Tehran, is well known for supplying global museums with iconic examples of Ilkhanid-period luster tilework. After provid- ing a historiography of the site, including its plunder in the late nineteenth century, we explore its current (2018–20) “life” in order to illuminate the many ways that it can be accessed, used, perceived, and packaged by a wide range of local, national, and global stakeholders. Merging past and present history, art history and amateur anthropology, and the academic, personal, and popular voice, this article explores the Emamzadeh Yahya’s delicate and active existence between historical monument, museum object, sacred space, and cultural heritage. Keywords Emamzadeh Yahya (Imamzada Yahya) – Varamin (Veramin, Waramin) – Iran – Ilkhanid – shrine – luster – tilework – mihrab – museums – present history – COVID-19 The Emamzadeh Yahya at Varamin (35.31614, 51.648336) poses a number of art histori- cal conundrums. Despite the fact that it is located just 35 miles south of Tehran and its Ilkhanid period (1256–1353) luster tilework enjoys endless visibility online, in print, and in museums (fig. 1), the shrine itself remains relatively anonymous beyond its immedi- ate demographic and specialist research. In the age of ongoing renovations of Islamic art galleries, we expect to see its famous tiles redisplayed and reevaluated, but the com- plex’s history and interpretation tend to end at its moment of rupture in the late nine- teenth century, when its tilework was systematically removed and dispersed across the globe.

  • Islam and Heritage in Europe
    Chapter 7 The materialities and legalities of forgetting Dispossession and the making of Turkey’s (post-) Ottoman heritage Banu Karaca In November 2011, the Metropolitan Museum of Art (MET) reopened its Islamic art section, now named ‘Art of the Arab Lands, Turkey, Iran, Central Asia, and Later South Asia’. More than a superficial reshuffling, the gesture of renaming implicitly responded to critical examinations of Islamic art as a field of art history, its histori- cal formation and its analytical frames. The redesigned galleries include two rooms featuring works from the collection of Ottoman-Armenian archaeologist, art dealer and pioneer of Islamic art Hagop Kevorkian (1872–1962). They frame a gal- lery sponsored by the estate of Turkish businessman Vehbi Koç (1901–96). While dedicated to ‘works created within the borders of the Ottoman Empire’, the gal- lery in fact mostly surveys art from within the boundaries of present-day Turkey.1 The immediate adjacency of these collections reproduces silences rooted in state violence, dispossession and the displacement of peoples and artworks. To interro- gate the silences, this chapter maps episodes of violence against non-Muslims in the late Ottoman Empire and the early Turkish republic in the course of which artworks were expropriated, looted and displaced. It proposes that beyond indi- vidual intentions or professed institutional mission, violence and dispossession have created the material conditions for forgetting in art historical accounts and in museum narratives, and hence in the knowledge production at the intersection of ‘Ottoman’, ‘Islamic’ and ‘Turkish’ art. These histories have not only shaped national forgetting in Turkey but also pervade the representation of Turkey’s past in the globalised category of Islamic art.

    258 ‘I have the honour to inform you that I have just arrived from Constantinople’: Migration, Identity and Commodity Disavowal in the Formation of the Islamic Art Collection at the V&A Alyson Wharton-Durgaryan Abstract The relationship of the V&A with three dealers, Krikor Minassian, Hagop Kevorkian and Dikran Kelekian, proffering goods from the Ottoman Empire they had recently fled, provides an interesting case study for viewing asymmetries of power in the t w e n t i e t h c e n t u r y a r t w o r l d . R e f e r r e d t o by m u s e u m s t a f f a s ‘ f o r e i g n m e r c h a n t s’ a n d regarded with suspicion concerning their financial motivations, these dealers went out of their way to prove themselves as collectors, connoisseurs and benefactors. V&A staff continued to distrust them and voiced condescension into the 1930s and even the 1950s. Keepers and Directors, as defenders of institutional values, engaged in commodity disavowal disconnecting their purchases from the hybrid and traumatic contexts of their arrival. They made reference to the market when it suited them: forcing down prices of Kelekian’s loan items following his death in 1951, so that they could be acquired at minimal cost. Museum-dealer relations emerge from archival documentation as fraught with slurs and one-upmanship, despite a gentlemanly surface culture. Key words: Dealers, Armenian, Islamic, Oriental, V&A.
