50 years on

The ΕΜΣΤ is holding an exhibition to commemorate the 50-year anniversary since “The Greek Month in London” (1975).

It is dedicated to 2 visual arts exhibitions which shaped the international view of contemporary Greek art following the fall of the junta:

• Four Painters of 20th Century Greece
• Eight Artists, Eight Attitudes, Eight Greeks

The 2 exhibitions were a pivotal point of evolution, as, for the first time, male and female artists from different generations and backgrounds, from Greece and the Greek diaspora, were brought together.

The artists of the exhibition

The artists featured in the exhibition include Stephen Antonakos, Jannis Kounellis, Pavlos, Vlassis Caniaris, Chryssa, Lucas Samaras, Takis and Costas Tsoclis.

Their works were showcased in the major 1975 event, as representative pieces of contemporary Greek art.
