Ashot Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 EXHIBITION ON THE 40th ANNIVERSARY [01:52 pm] 26 June, 2008 40 years ago St. Vardan Cathedral was erected on one of the central streets of New York. Back in 1968 Catholicos of All Armenians Vazgen I had sanctified the earth on which years later the cathedral was to be constructed. On the 40th anniversary the Primacy of the Eastern Eparchy of the USA organized an exhibition where 70 graphic and oil paint works of 35 modern and 20th century artists were exhibited. At the opening organizer of the exhibition thanked the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, which had gladly provided the famous painting “Artist with his mother” by Arshil Gorky to be demonstrated in the exhibition for a day. Another interesting sight in the exhibition was the graphic work of celebrated American Armenian writer William Saroyan. The evening was concluded by a concert with participation of Lusine Amara /soprano/, Shahan Artsruni /piano/, and Ani Aznavurian /violoncello/. Among the guests of the exhibition was RA Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to the UNO Armen Martirossian.
