I roto i tana mahi, kua tangohia e te kairīpoata whakaahua rongonui, rongonui hoki a Ara Güler, te kairīpoata whakaahua rongonui o Turkey i te ao katoa, neke atu i te 800,000 ngā whakaahua e whakaatu ana i te ahurea Turkish me ngā wāhi hītori nui. Ka whakatuwheratia i te Hakihea 14 i te Whare Taonga Arthur M. Sackler o Smithsonian, "In Focus: Ara Güler's Anatolia" e whakaatu ana i ētahi o ana mahi whakamiharo o Anatolia, e kawe ana i te kaimātakitaki i tētahi haerenga hītori mā roto i te tirohanga a tētahi o ngā kairīpoata whakaahua rongonui o te ao.
Mai i te 4 o Mei, 2014, ka werohia hoki e te mahi e whakaatuhia ana te whakamāramatanga a Güler mōna ake hei kairīpoata whakaahua, ehara i te kaitoi, ā, ka whakauru i ngā manuhiri ki tētahi tautohetohe arohaehae mō te mea he momo toi, he tikanga tuhi rānei te whakaahua.
Nā ngā ākonga o te Kaupapa Taonga me te Hapori o Te Whare Wānanga o Johns Hopkins i whakarite te whakaaturanga, i raro i te tirotiro a Nancy Micklewright, te Tumuaki o ngā Kaupapa Mātauranga me ngā Whakaputanga i ngā Taiwhanga Whakaaturanga Freer me Sackler. I te wāhanga ako o te puna o te tau 2013, i mahi tahi ngā ākonga me te kohinga pūranga ki te whakawhanake i tētahi tono whakaaturanga, me ngā tapanga, ngā whakaaro hōtaka me ngā ihirangi Tukutuku.
Hei kaiwhakaatu i te ngaronga o Turkey i ngā tau 1950 me 1960, i kohikohia e Güler he kohinga mahi whai rawa, whai kanorau hoki. I tangohia mai i tana kohinga mahi nui, "In Focus: Ara Güler's Anatolia" e whakaatu ana i ngā whakaahua o ngā whakamaharatanga Seljuk, Armenian me Ottoman puta noa i Anatolia, te tuawhenua Āhia o Turkey.
He momo makutu
Mā te whakamahi i ngā momo tirohanga whānui, ngā rama whakamiharo me ngā rerekētanga kaha, i whakapuaki a Güler i tētahi tirohanga whakaahua ahurei, ā, ka kitea tonutia. I kī ia, "Ki taku whakaaro he momo makutu te whakaahua, mā roto i tēnei ka hopukina he wā o te wheako hei tuku ki ngā whakatupuranga o muri mai" (Ara Güler: He Whakaahua Whakaahua o Istanbul Ngaro, Dünya Yayınları, 1994).
Ko te kaha o Güler ki te hopu i ngā wā poto me tōna hiahia ki te kōrero pakiwaitara e kitea ana i roto i ētahi o ngā mahi toi e whakaatuhia ana, pērā i te "Gök Medrese" (kura), e hopu ana i tētahi tamaiti e oma ana i mua i tētahi mata kua pakaru, he tatau tuwhera e taea ai te tiro atu ki tētahi ao whānui atu. Mai i te tau 1965, i te wā i hangaia ai ēnei whakaahua, kua whakahoutia nuitia ētahi o ngā whare tawhito e whakaatuhia ana e Güler hei wāhi tūruhi, ā, kua kino haere ētahi—i ngā āhuatanga e rua, ka whakaratohia e ngā whakaahua a Güler he tuhinga whakamīharo me te whai hua o tētahi wā o te wā.
Ka whakaatuhia hoki ki te whakaaturanga tētahi ataata poto, ko “Ara Güler: He Whakatutukitanga Ora” nā FotoTV (2010), e āhei ai ngā manuhiri ki te whakarongo ki ngā whakaaro o Güler mō te mahi whakaahua, te toi me tana mahi.
He huinga whakaahua e 53
I te tau 1950, i tīmata a Güler (whānau 1928) ki te mahi whakaahua i ngā nūpepa ā-rohe i a ia e ako ana i te ōhanga i Te Whare Wānanga o Istanbul. I te tau 1955, ka noho ia hei tumuaki mō te Tari Whakaahua i te maheni Hayat (Life), ā, i muri tata mai ka tīmata ia ki te mahi mā ngā pāpāho o te ao. I whakaahua ia mā ngā whakaputanga Turkish pērā i a Yeni Istanbul (New Istanbul) me te maheni Hayat, me ngā whakaputanga nui o te ao, tae atu ki a Time Life, Paris Match, me te maheni Smithsonian. I ngā tau 1960, i mahi tahi ia me te kairīpoata whakaahua rongonui a Henri Cartier-Bresson i Magnum Photos. Inaianei 85 tau te pakeke, kei te noho tonu a Güler, kei te mahi tonu i Istanbul.
Ko ngā mahi toi e whakaatuhia ana he wāhanga o tētahi huinga whakaahua e 53 o ngā whakamaharatanga hoahoanga i kohaina ki ngā Pūranga o Freer me Sackler i te tau 1989 e Raymond Hare, te Karere o Amerika ki Turkey (1961–1965). I tīpakohia te kohinga whakaahua hei whakaata i te hiahia o Hare mō te hoahoanga o te rohe, ā, i tukuna atu ki a ia e ōna hoa mahi i tana wehenga atu i Turkey.
Nā te putea tautoko a The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation i taea ai te whakaaturanga nei hei tautoko i tana Kaupapa Taonga me te Hapori. Kei te National Mall i Washington, DC te Arthur M. Sackler Gallery me te Freer Gallery of Art e tata ana, mai i te 10 i te ata ki te 5:30 i te ahiahi i ia rā (kua kati i te Hakihea 25), ā, he kore utu te whakaurunga.
