The Pinajian Discovered exhibit is comprised of 36 paintings, both in oil on canvas and watercolors, by an artist whose spectacular body of art work was almost lost to the world at one point. You see, Pinajian left strict instructions for his collection to be cast aside in the town dumpster once he passed away. And now, there is an exhibit at Antiquorum, located in the Fuller building, which is a spectacular eye opener of the works of the Armenian American artist, Arthur Pinajian (1914–1999). The show is a treat and a great joy for art lovers, not only because of the masterful art works, but also because the artist’s paintings would not have seen the light of day if outside intervention did not play its hand.

In the final scheme of things, thanks to art historian Peter Hastings Falk, founder of Rediscovered Masters,  and author of Master of Abstraction, who discovered Arthur’s works in 2007, now you too can take an extraordinary journey through the world of an American artist whose rare and valuable abstract paintings have certainly left a lasting significance in the canon of art history. The gallery’s public viewing are: Tuesday-Saturday 11:30am – 5:30pm or by appointment, contact pinajianart@optimum.net.
