Orientalism: Between Fact and Fantasy opened at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York this month, and runs until next year. With almost 200 items on display, it’s probably the largest survey exhibition of Orientalist art. It’s also significant for its focus on Orientalist decorative arts and fashion in addition to the familiar paintings of Jean-Léon Gérôme and his contemporaries. The Met’s exhibition catalogue, written by Deniz Beyazit, Maryam Ekhtiar, and Asher Miller, features full-page images and an essay on Orientalist design.
