Today, the President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan and Catholicos of
All Armenian, His Holiness Garegin II, with the participation of the
Armenian-American benefactor Gerard Cafesjian attended the inaugural
ceremony of the Cafesjian Cultural Center on the Cascade, in the
center of Yerevan.
The Cascade, which has undergone a thorough and extensive renovation,
appeared before the visitors entirely changed, as a modern cultural
center. In the exhibition halls of the Center presented are pieces
by the modern artists, from the private collection of Mr. Cafesjian.
The exhibition halls present some of the works of the best glass
artists of the 20th century – Stanislav Libensky and Jaroslava
Brychtova. In the Grigor Khanjian Fresco Hall presented are Archil
Gorki’s works from Gerard Cafesjian’s private collection. At
the Center’s last level visitors can see Swarovski Light Socks
installation, created by the renowned Diller Scofidio + Renfro studio
in New York.
