The Face of Humanity: Surenyants’ “Abandoned”
Vardges Surenyants’ masterpiece “Abandoned” (1894) is displayed in Armenia for the first time, more than 130 years after its creation, on an exclusive loan from the Kasteyev State Museum of Arts of the Republic of Kazakhstan. For the first time, three monumental works by Surenyants are brought together as a triptych: “Abandoned” (1894), “Trampled Sanctity” (1895), and “After the Massacre” (1898). The original historical door of the Holy Apostles Church of Sevanavank—the very one depicted in “Abandoned”—will also be shown side by side with its painted image. The exhibition features works by Panos Terlemezyan, Sarkis Katchadourian, Jirayr Orakyan, Mariam Aslamazyan, Armine Kalents, and others, tracing the lineage of humanist thought in Armenian art. Curator: Vigen Galstyan. The exhibition runs through February 17, 2027.
