On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the birth of the distinguished artist Takis (Panayiotis Vassilakis, 1925–2019), the Basil & Elise Goulandris Foundation is organising the anniversary tribute "Takis 1∞" at its museums in Athens and Andros.

Takis 1∞

Andros

22.06 - 02.11.2025

The exhibition in Andros will be divided into two parts. In the Old Wing of the Museum of Contemporary Art, which is reopening after its recent renovation, an extensive presentation of the Signals series will be featured. These iconic works, which contributed to Takis' international recognition, are crafted from various materials such as bronze, marble, and stainless steel, coexisting in the exhibition halls.

In the New Wing of the Museum, a chronological approach will allow visitors to follow Takis' artistic evolution from his early years in 1946 to 2019. His first sculptures in plaster, bronze and iron will be displayed, followed by works from his Flowers, Flower Idols and Idols series, as well as his Dials and Electronic Reliefs. A significant section of the exhibition will highlight his time at MIT, showcasing the Sea Oscillation Hydrodynamics piece from 1969. Finally, a dedicated room will explore his erotic-themed works and his deeply personal connection with music.
