Catalogue of the exhibition Man Ray, Visages of the Woman held at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Andros of the Basil & Elise Goulandris Foundation from 28 June to 27 September 2015.

The aspiration of the exhibition was to allow, through the selection of one hundred and fifty works by Man Ray, a first glance at his largely paradoxical but also very fertile relationship with the Woman.

The Woman, anonymous or celebrity, successful or unsung, muse or mistress, even the creation of the artist’s imagination is immortalized and elevated into the dominant figure by every means and way throughout his creative course.

The exhibition featured 150 works of all types: photographs, paintings, engravings, drawings, sculptures and ready-mades.

All the works are included in this fully illustrated, trilingual catalogue (Greek, English, French), accompanied by essays by Marie Koutsomallis-Moreau, curator of the exhibition.

Catalogue of the exhibition Auguste Rodin - Camille Claudel held at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Andros of the Basil & Elise Goulandris Foundation from 7 July to 22 September 1996.

While placing emphasis on Rodin's work, the exhibition was aimed at presenting aspects from all phases of the artists' œuvre, including works created during their long relationship, which reveal the mutual influence that each one's sculpture exerted on the other's.

18 watercolours and 55 sculptures by Auguste Rodin, alongside 10 sculptures by Camille Claudel, from museums, foundations and private collections abroad - mainly from France and Switzerland - are included in this fully illustrated, bilingual catalogue (Greek, French), accompanied by bibliography and illustrated chronology for both artists, entries of the works, anthology, the testament of Rodin (advise to new artists), as well as a text by him dedicated to the Venus of Milos.
