BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 5. The famous New York
Post published an article about the transformation of the Heydar
Aliyev Center into an international art center, Trend reports.
"For visitors stepping into Hadid’s extraordinary building, the
message is clear: this is a city that demands to be taken seriously
as an international cultural hub," the publication says.
The New York Post, meanwhile, highlights recent international
art projects - exhibitions presented at the Heydar Aliyev Center by
American hyperrealist sculptor Carol Forman, famous British and
Australian sculptors Gillie and Marc Schattner, and Colombian
artist-sculptor Fernando Botero, who creates giant-scale renderings
of people and animals, as well as various figures.
"It is noteworthy that the first major exhibition at the center
was the large exhibition “Life, Death and Beauty” by Andy Warhol,
which took place in 2013. In line with this vision, Baku is
positioning itself as a cultural bridge between Europe and Asia.
International curators, artists, and cultural figures are
increasingly adding Baku to their itineraries. At the center of
this transformation stands the Heydar Aliyev Center, a large-scale
contemporary architectural project that has become more than just a
building," the article reads.
