WATERTOWN — The Armenian Museum of America opened its latest exhibition, “Fragments of Memory: The Art and Legacy of Varujan Boghosian,” on April 26, with a memorable evening honoring the life and work of the Armenian-American artist. Curated by Ryann Casey and sponsored by the Alan and Isabelle Der Kazarian Foundation, the exhibition features 45 works spanning Boghosian’s career, showcasing his poetic mastery of mixed media, collage, and assemblage.
“We extend our sincere gratitude to everyone who joined us for the opening, including over 100 members and guests, among them the artist’s daughter, Heidi Boghosian, of the Law and Disorder Radio podcast, Christopher Lydon of WBUR’s ‘The Connection,’ and Sara Bogosian of the Whistler House Museum of Art,” said Executive Director Jason Sohigian. The opening was also enjoyed by many students from Boston University, Northeastern University and the Berklee College of Music.
The exhibition was made possible by the loans of artworks from the Berta Walker Gallery in Provincetown and Heidi Boghosian.
Boghosian’s work is held in major public collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum, the New York Public Library, the Brooklyn Museum, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Fragments of Memory offers a rare opportunity to explore the elegant, lyrical world of an artist whose vision continues to resonate across generations. The exhibition runs through August 10.
