Guided tour of the exhibition "Germaine Richier" by curator Marie Koutsomallis-Moreau (in Greek)

On Saturday, July 25, the B&E Goulandris Foundation’s Head of Collection and curator of the exhibition “Germaine Richier (1902-1959) – Conversations”, Marie Koutsomallis-Moreau, will lead a guided tour exclusively for B&E Members at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Andros.

The exhibition will run until September 27 and retraces the entirety of Richier’s artistic career. Richier, one of the most important figures in 20^th century European sculpture, left behind a remarkably coherent body of work devoted entirely to the exploration of living forms despite her premature death at the age of 57.

Richier was awarded the Blumenthal Prize at the age of 34 and was the only female sculptor to participate in the landmark exhibition The New Decade, organised by MoMA in New York in 1955. In 1956, the Musée national d’Art moderne in Paris (National Museum of Modern Art) dedicated a major retrospective exhibition to her—a distinction that, until then, had been granted during an artist’s lifetime only to Henri Matisse.

A student in the studio of Antoine Bourdelle, Richier began her career through the art of portrait busts, which she approached with the rigour of the academic tradition. During the 1940s, however, she broke free from conventional frameworks and developed a highly personal sculptural language where human forms merge with the animal, vegetal and mineral worlds. Her research led her to reassess the very foundations of sculpture, as well as the metaphorical dimension of her works.
