American artist Varujan Boghosian (1926-2020) turned castaway objects into art. To find material for his collages and assembled sculptures he searched flea markets, antique stores, the local dump, and the shores near Provincetown. With a poet’s mind, he juxtaposed unrelated items and playfully pushed the boundaries of dream and reality. Reflecting on his artistic process, Boghosian said, “I don’t make anything, I find everything.”

Well-known as an art professor at major American universities, Boghosian played a large role in the Provincetown art colony, influencing generations of artists and writers. As one of a group of artists who founded Provincetown’s Long Point Gallery, he showed alongside such artists as Robert Motherwell and Budd Hopkins.
