Yerevan reaffirms its status as an "open-air museum"

ArmInfo. Yerevan has once again reaffirmed its status as an "open-air museum" with the inauguration of a new cultural space in the city center. Located in  Misak Manushyan Park, the site now features an exhibition of 13 sculptures by Ashot Harutyunyan.

Ashot Harutyunyan is a distinguished sculptor, a recipient of the  President of Armenia Award, and a member of the Artists' Union of  Armenia. This project was realized with the support of the Yerevan  Municipality.

According to a statement from the Yerevan Municipality, the works  will be on display to the general public as part of a permanent  exhibition. The sculptures were donated to Yerevan on the initiative  of the Artists' Union of Armenia.

Harutyunyan works in both easel and monumental sculpture. His works  are featured in the National Gallery of Armenia, the Yerevan Modern  Art Museum, as well as various other museum and private collections.   Throughout his career, the sculptor has participated in numerous  national and international exhibitions, including projects in France,  Japan, and China.

Ashot Harutyunyan's creative work is characterized by a refined  attention to form, a laconic approach to imagery, and a constant  search for a contemporary artistic language all while maintaining a  profound connection to the traditions of the Armenian school of  sculpture.
