Tastemakers, ‘Foreign Merchants’ and the Making of the V&A’s Islamic Art Collection.
Alyson Wharton · 2020
Catalogue summary
The V&A’s dealings with Krikor Minassian, Hagop Kevorkian, and Dikran Kelekian reveal how museum staff used suspicion, social control, and financial interest toward Armenian dealers.
Why this matters
Their Ottoman displacement and collecting careers expose a power relationship that extends the museum’s colonial analysis to institutional treatment of foreign merchants.
