Vaults of Heaven

This spring, the World Monuments Fund will be featuring the work of renowned Turkish architect and photographer Ahmet Ertug˘ in a new exhibition—Vaults of Heaven: Sanctuaries of Byzantium—on view at its Manhattan gallery. Prior to the exhibition’s New York debut, gallery curator and ICON contributor Martha Flach caught up with Ertug˘ to discuss his work at Hagia Sophia, the Church of Chora, and medieval sanctuaries of Cappadocia—fragile treasures that WMF is helping to save.
