The pupil of art

On February 12, 2023, two entrepreneurs Nina Gurk and Salomea Rathmann sponsored a special art event for Frankfurt art connoisseurs and lovers at the Stangenberg Merck Museum. During the champagne reception, guests were able to take part in the art tour by Dr. Roland Held gain deep insights into the painting and creativity of Heidi Stangenberg Merck and Karen Shahverdyan.

Temporary exhibitions of contemporary art take place in the Stangenberg Merck Museum, which opened in Seeheim-Jugenheim in 2010 and is attractively located in an Art Nouveau villa above the mountain road town. Pictures by the German-Armenian painter Karen Shahverdyan can still be seen there throughout 2023, using the old master's meticulous technique to create astonishing scenes where reality and unreality merge seamlessly. Intensely tempting image ideas that make you look, marvel and interpret are explored across several stations. The circular painting “Samsara,” for example, develops a magical pull, as if you were looking directly into the pupil of an oversized eye.
