Editorial Reviews

  • “Lippard skillfully shows the ‘primal urge’ is a core issue in ‘post-modernist’ art … it is invaluable as an insider’s synthesis capturing the consciousness of vanguard art in the recent past.”
    — Village Voice

  • “Lucy Lippard has skillfully blended sun, moon, myth, and ritual in a search for the meaning and social function of art.”
  • — Gerald Hawkins, author of Stonehenge Decoded and Mindsteps to the Cosmos

  • “The book’s strength lies in the depth of the author’s commitment–her dual loyalty to tradition and modernity and her effort to restore the broken connection between the two.”
    — New York Times Book Review

    Oscar Marzaroli Shades of Grey

    GAR0253 Photography Books ‘Shades of Grey’

    DESCRIPTION “SHADES OF GREY – Glasgow 1956-1987”
    Photographs by Oscar Marzaroli
    Words by William McIlvanney
    This remarkable book marks the conjunction of two substantial talents and their shared experience which is the Glasgow of the past thirty years. While William Mcilvannev, writer, was steeping himself in the atmosphere of mid-fifties Glasgow as a student. Oscar Marzaroli, photographer, was beginning work as a freelance photojournalist in the city. One way or another. Glasgow has remained an enduring influence on both men. In ‘Shades of Grey’, each pays their particular tribute to a famous city in the process of change. Marzaroli’s photographs record not only the fabric of Glasgow old and new but also, through photo sequences, the character and the characters of the city. His view of Glasgow can bear comparison with other important photographers’ views of their favored places. No other photographer has caught the look and life of Glasgow with comparable accuracy and sympathy or produced images that we can relate to so strongly. This comprehensive collection of Marzaroli’s Glasgow photographs, selected from thousands of prints, is not just another book of photographs. It is a work that will rapidly become a permanent part of Scotland’s visual heritage. McIlvanney’s text, with its subjective impressions, complements perfectly the objective images from Marzaroli’s camera.

    Oscar Marzaroli was born in Castiglione Vara, Northern Italy, in 1933 his family moved to Glasgow when he was two, settling in the Garnethill area of the city. Courses in Glasgow School of Art were interrupted by illness. After working as a photographic assistant in Glasgow he moved to Stockholm to work as a freelance photo-journalist for a few years before moving to London. Returning to .. (continued on Back Flap ..)

    DESCRIPTION:
    This work argues that all myths, religions and folk tales can be traced to one source – the sun. It shows that solar cults were founded in order to influence the life-giving forces of nature, and these can be identified in Neanderthal cave dwellings of 60,000 years ago.

    Tim BESSERER, Dieter KOEVE -'Nichts wird uns trennen'
    DESCRIPTION: ‘Nothing will separate us’ (‘Nichts wird uns trennen’) steht auf einem Amulett geschrieben, welches um den Hals eines jungen Familienvaters hangt. Die Würde und Kraft, die diese Familie ausstrahlt, steht in krassem Widerspruch zu den bestehenden Lebensmöglichkeiten.
    Die in diesem Fotobuch mit Sachkenntnis zusammengetragenen Fotografien von 27 in Süd-afrika lebenden Fotografen machen in eindrucksvoller Weise deutlich, dass in diesem Teil Afrikas ein überwältigendes Potential an engagierten Fotografen arbeitet, die das Medium Fotografie als Weg zur Befreiung aus der Apartheid sehen. Dieses neue Selbstbewusstsein schlägt sich auch in der Auswahl der Gedichte aus Südafrika nieder, die die Fotos erganzen.

    PROJECT: TURKEYE -Ani excavation site

    Turkey, ANI excavation site, 'Ramparts of Smbat II'><br />
<strong><a class=pfs10021 TURKEY: ‘ANI’ excavation site -“Ramparts of Smbat II”

    DESCRIPTION:
    Since Ani is protected naturally with ravines, and rivers on all sides except the north, the second ramparts were constructed by King Smbat II (977-989AD) to strengthen this north side. Epigraphic evidence document repairs in the periods of Gagik I, Ebu’l Manuchehr, and Ebu’l Muammeran.
    There are cross motives, lion and snake reliefs, and tile decorations on outer facades of the ramparts and a four-line Kufic inscription documenting the conquest of the city by the Seljuk Sultan Alpaslan on the tower to the east side of the ramparts where the Lion Gate is located. This is one of the seven entrances into the city, which are named as Ugurun, Kars, Lion (Arslani) Chess Satrancli), Acemagili, Migmig Ravine Gate, and Bagseki on the basis of their orientation or decoration. Taking its name from a lion frieze between two towers on its inner part, the Lion Gate was possibly the main entrance into the city from the northwest and now serves as the main visitor entrance.

    DESCRIPTION:
    Ani, capital of melancholia
    “When approaching Ani one is left with an impression of its magnificent architecture, but there is also something very melancholy about the place. The city is surrounded by walls with round rose-colored towers built of tuff and punctured with the marks of thousands of arrows. The city itself is built on a triangular site where two rivers have carved deep ravines into the landscape from the east and the south the Ahuryan River ravines and from the west, the smaller river Tsaghkots flows across a gorge where hundreds of caves served as dwellings for the poorer classes of the past.”Open Wounds: Armenians, Turks and a Century of Genocide.

    Other known names
    Church of the Holy Saviour of All; Church of the Redeemer, St. P’rkitch, St. Petros, St. Arak’Eal

    DESCRIPTION:
    History of the church
    According to its inscriptions, the church of the Surp Amenap’rkitch was built in 1035 to house a piece of the true cross by Prince Abulgharib Pahluvani, A zhamatun was added in 1193 for the accommodation of the pilgrims and a bell tower was erected in 1271 next to the main entrance. Earthquake damage to the church is reported first time in 1131. Its dome was restored in 1342 following the disastrous earthquake of 1319.

    When Nikolai Yakovlevich Marr and his team started the first scientific excavations at Ani (from 1892 to 1917) the church was still standing but was in an unstable state. In 1912 they restored the walls of the church to prevent a total collapse. Marr’s intervention was done with smaller sized masonry in darker colors than the originals can now be detected easily. Nonetheless, the eastern half of the church collapsed completely in 1957. The still-standing western half which was badly damaged in the 1988 earthquake is under the threat of total collapse.

    In 1996 Ani archaeological site was listed in World’s Monuments Fund’s Watch list and during a mission initiated by the Historical Heritage Protection Foundation in 1998-9 some of the walls of the church were stabilized and the main door was filled with rubble stone masonry to prevent any further collapses.

    Historic Preservation Project
    In 2006 Ministry of Culture and Tourism started an extensive preservation program at Ani archaeological site. In 2006 Prikitch Church was scientifically documented for the first time and a historical preservation project was prepared.

    Conservation Works
    In 2010 World Monuments Fund and the Ministry of Culture and Tourism signed a memorandum of understanding for the conservation of the Prikitch Church. Works began in 2012.

    The conservation project for Surp Amenap’rkitch Church consists of three planned phases: In the first phase, after the assembly of a fence around the project site for the security and safety of the visitors, the erection of a protective and load-bearing scaffolding inside the monument is planned for the security of the excavation team.

    In the second phase: excavation and cataloguing work will start following the re-location of the fallen remains of the east part of the church to a safe and secure area. These remains will then be documented with a 3D laser scanning survey and virtual modelling to determine the original locations of each piece. (https://www.facebook.com/pargev.frankian/media_set?set=a.2436085689738631.1073741833.100000116716132&type=3) Following the excavations survey and documentation, emergency stabilization works will be completed.

    After the evaluation of the data obtained from the structural monitoring system installed on the structure in May 2012, from the construction material analyses, wall paint analyses, excavation and cataloguing, the structural stabilization works are planned to be completed in the third phase.

    An imposing cathedral
    “A rust-colored brick redoubt, the Cathedral of Ani looms over the now-abandoned city. Although its dome collapsed in an earthquake in 1319 – and, centuries later, another earthquake destroyed its northwest corner – it is still imposing in scale. It was completed in 1001 under the reign of Armenian King Gagik I when the wealth and population of Ani were at its peak. Trdat, the renowned Armenian architect who designed it, also served the Byzantines by helping them repair the dome of the Hagia Sophia.”

    DESCRIPTION:
    “Cathedral of Ani (Armenian: Անիի մայր տաճար, Anii mayr tačar; Turkish: Ani Katedrali) is the largest standing building in Ani, capital of medieval Bagratid Armenia, located in present-day eastern Turkey, on the border with modern Armenia. It was completed in the early 11th century by the architect Trdat and was the seat of the Catholicos, the head of the Armenian Apostolic Church, for nearly half a century.

    In 1064, following the Seljuk conquest of Ani, the cathedral was converted into a mosque. It later returned to being used as an Armenian church. It eventually suffered damage in a 1319 earthquake when its conical dome collapsed. Subsequently, Ani was gradually abandoned and the church fell into disuse. The north-western corner of the church was heavily damaged by a 1988 earthquake.

    The cathedral is considered the largest and most impressive structure of Ani. It is a domed basilica with a rectangular plan, though the dome and most of its supporting drum are now missing. Its use of pointed arches and cluster piers has been widely cited by scholars to have possibly influenced, or at least preceded Gothic architecture. The cathedral, along with the entire site of Ani, was declared a World Heritage site by the UNESCO in 2016.”

The caves are sometimes described as Ani’s “underground city” and signs point to their use as tombs and churches. In the early 20th Century, some of these caves were still used as dwellings.”

    city walls
    pfs10110 TURKEY: ‘ANI’ excavation site -city walls

    DESCRIPTION: Archaeological Site of Ani
    “This site is located on a secluded plateau of northeast Turkey overlooking a ravine that forms a natural border with Armenia. This medieval city combines residential, religious and military structures, characteristic of a medieval urbanism built up over the centuries by Christian and then Muslim dynasties. The city flourished in the 10th and 11th centuries CE when it became the capital of the medieval Armenian kingdom of the Bagratides and profited from control of one branch of the Silk Road. Later, under Byzantine, Seljuk and Georgian sovereignty, it maintained its status as an important crossroads for merchant caravans. The Mongol invasion and a devastating earthquake in 1319 marked the beginning of the city’s decline. The site presents a comprehensive overview of the evolution of medieval architecture through examples of almost all the different architectural innovations of the region between the 7th and 13th centuries CE.”

    St. Asdvadzadzin Church

    The complex of Emir Ebu’l Muammeran

    Date and patron
    It was built between 1164-1200AD by Shaddadian Sahinsah who was named Ebu’l Muammeran, therefore, rebuilt to Ani.

    Description
    The complex consists of a rectangular masjid, a minaret, and a square tomb.
    Almost nothing remains of this mosque except for the large fragments of its minaret which fell down in 1890. The very tall octagonal minaret had an inscription on it which forbade “the sale of sheep and camels in front of the mosque”.

    Preserving the Medieval City of Ani: Cultural Heritage between Contest and Reconciliation
    Heghnar Zeitlian Watenpaugh
    Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians (2014) 73 (4): 528–555.
    https://doi.org/10.1525/jsah.2014.73.4.528
    “Despite its architectural fame, the medieval city of Ani in eastern Turkey, once an Armenian capital on the Silk Road, was endangered until recently. Preserving the Medieval City of Ani: Cultural Heritage between Contest and Reconciliation traces the evolution of Ani since the late nineteenth century as an object of preservation and the subject of debate about heritage. As a primarily non-Muslim site in a modern, majority-Muslim country, Ani poses dilemmas shared by other cultural heritage sites in post-conflict societies: it presents economic opportunity through tourism, but its history prompts questions about a painful recent past the state refuses to acknowledge. Analyzing the recent developments in cultural heritage management in Turkey involving international heritage organizations, especially for Christian and Armenian monuments, and highlighting the civil society debate about rediscovering long-suppressed episodes of Turkish history, Heghnar Zeitlian Watenpaugh argues that despite daunting difficulties beleaguering acknowledgement of the past, cultural heritage can provide a medium for reconciliation rather than contestation.”
