Excerpt: "Mr. Theuer interjected that when Ms. Brychtová saw her glass artwork for the first time on display in Yerevan in the exhibition hall of the Cafesjian Center for the Arts, there was something different about it. "The light in Yerevan has changed the color of the glass. She has seen the exhibit three or four times already and each time the light has been different," Mr. Theuer said. "It must be the height; this city is like a crescent; depending on what the atmosphere is, the quality of light is changing. Today, for example, it was a very soft light because there was some haze over the city that affected how the light penetrated through the frosted glass and then into the sculpture itself." [...] When the site for the Cafesjian Center for the Arts was dedicated by Catholicos Karekin II, the sculpture Open Window was displayed outside on the grounds. It was May, and during the day it was sunny and warm. The glass would warm up and glow. At night, as the temperatures dropped, it got very cool; so Jaroslav Libenský, the couple's son, would come out with blankets and wrap the sculpture so that it would cool down slowly and not break. "If there are severe weather changes, the work cannot be displayed outdoors," Ms. Brychtová explained."
