Greek language guided tours of the temporary exhibition "Germaine Richier" in Andros

The Basil & Elise Goulandris Foundation provides Greek language guided tours of the exhibition "Germaine Richier", presented at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Andros.

Tickets can be purchased online at goulandris.gr or at the Museum's ticket office, subject to availability.

This summer, the B&E Goulandris Foundation is delighted to present an exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Andros dedicated to Germaine Richier (1902–1959), one of the most important figures in 20th-century European sculpture. The exhibition, titled Germaine Richier (1902-1959) – Conversations, will open to the public on June 14 and will run until September 27, 2026.

The exhibition will be presented in the west wing of the Museum in Andros and retraces the entirety of Richier’s artistic career, which, despite her premature death at the age of 57, left an indelible mark. 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 with the art of busts and, already in the 1930s, moved away from the academic framework, developing a more liberated sculptural language in which the human element coexists with the animal and plant realms. In the 1940s, her research expanded further, leading her to reassess the very foundations of sculpture, as well as the metaphorical dimension of her work.

The exhibition is curated by Marie Koutsomallis-Moreau, Head of Collection at the B&E Goulandris Foundation and Laurence Durieu, an expert on Richier’s work and the author of her biography Germaine Richier - L'Ouragane.
