LOVES, DOES NOT LOVE
1967
The sculpture "Loves, Does Not
Love" is located at the intersection of Abovyan-Moskovyan streets.
Sculptor Tereza Mirzoyan created the sculpture in 1967 from copper. In 1991, it
was broken and stolen. In 2012, on the occasion of the 2794th anniversary of
the founding of Erebuni-Yerevan and Mirzoyan's 90th birthday, Tereza Mirzoyan's
daughter, painter Anush Arakelyan, and sculptor Getik Baghdasaryan created a
bronze replica of the sculpture based on a sketch of the broken original.
On a low rectangular granite pedestal is
a sculpture of a beautiful girl, kneeling and slightly bent. The dress
emphasizes the waist, the gaze is thoughtful. On a small slab on the northern
side of the pedestal is written: "SCULPTOR TEREZA MIRZOYAN. LOVES, DOES
NOT LOVE." The height of the sculpture is 1.57 m.
