Friday's New York Times had an art review by Holland Cotter about two companion exhibits on calligraphy in the Koran at the Asia Society in New York. He writes:
The art of the book and the art of writing are the subjects of paired exhibitions at Asia Society, “Traces of the Calligrapher: Islamic Calligraphy in Practice, Circa 1600-1900” and “Writing the Word of God: Calligraphy and the Qur’an.” Perfect in size and proportion, carefully thought out and gorgeous, they are worthy of the book they honor.
