Exhibition
ALEKSANDER PIRADOV WISHES TO PRESENT ITS ART COLLECTION TO ARMENIA
Daily Azg has already informed that a four-day exhibition "The Round Surface
of the Plate" opened Jotto Museum reconstructed by the support of the Lincy
Foundation. Realistic, surrealistic and abstract paintings on crystal plates
with oil paints by 27 Georgian and 5 Armenian artists from Tbilisi made up
the exhibition. The owner of these famous plates' collection is Dr.
Aleksander Piradov who originates from renowned aristocratic dynasty and
lives in Tbilisi.
Most of Piradov's are not plates but paintings and graphic pictures. One can
find there canvases of Yeghishe Tadevosian, Gevorg Bashinjaghian, Edgar
Shahin, Vahram Gayfejian, Harutyun Shamshinian and Hmayak Hakobian. Art
critics think that the collection is especially valuable for the Armenian
culture for having names of artists that are unknown to most of us.
Reproductions of paintings by Nina Vermisheva, Emma Lalayeva, Madlena
Amirkhanova, Mkrtich Margarian (Mako), Mikael Khununts, Sergey Chakhoyan and
others that we saw in "Aleksander Piradov's Collection of Tbilisi's Armenian
Painters" album printed in Moscow amazed us.
Last year, Piradov exhibited his collection at Marina Tsvetayeva Museum
under the title of "Forgotten Names".
"If the Armenian government provides with an appropriate building, I will
gladly present the collection to my people", Aleksander Piradov said.
