About the Item

A fine abstract expressionist paper collage by American artist Varujan Boghosian (1926-2020). Boghosian was born in New Britain, CT and after serving in the United States Navy, he attended Central Connecticut Teachers College and the Vesper George School of Art in Boston. In 1953, he had a Fulbright grant to paint in Italy, and from 1956 to 1959, he worked with Josef Albers, geometric abstractionist, at Yale University where he earned both his BFA and MFA. Boghosian became a professor of sculpture at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire, and became primarily known for his assemblages in which he uses a variety of incongruous objects such as parts of weathered barn doors, antique dolls' heads, old leather, marbles, and ping-pong balls. This collage consists of a cut-out of a rose, shooting target, map, and horse with an antique marbled paper background, monogrammed lower left “VB,” signed, dated 2002, and titled on verso “Rose of the World,” mounted on board and framed under glass in a simple wood frame. Very good overall condition, with some minor stains in the background paper. Dimensions: 20 in H x 15 in W, actual; 21.5 in H x 16.5 in W x 1.18 in D, framed. Ref:537
