Picasso Museum in Paris showcases Yervand Kochar’s ‘Painting in Space’

The exhibition titled ‘Léonce Rosenberg’s apartment: De Chirico, Ernst, Léger, Picabia…” opened at the Picasso Museum in Paris, France.

The exhibition tells the story of the legendary décor of the Paris flat of art dealer and gallery owner Léonce Rosenberg, featuring works of the greatest artists, including Yervand Kochar’s ‘Painting in Space’ (1934).

Fascinated by Cubism and dreaming of himself as a leader of the artistic avant-garde, Rosenberg transformed his Parisian home in honor of the artists he loved. In that apartment, where he lived with his wife and daughters, he dedicated each room to a different artist. In total, 12 painters and sculptors were honored, with their works being displayed in bedrooms, living room, and dining room. Combining these works with furniture, Léonce Rosenberg created an unusual blend of genres.

Yervand Kochar was among the selected artists, with his ‘Painting in the Space’ (1934), now in the collection of the Center Pompidou in Paris, being showcased at the exhibition.

The exhibition also displays other references to Maestro Kochar’s art.

It is open from January 30 to May 19.
