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 Nikos Engonopoulos, With the Colours of the Word and the Word of Colours held at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Andros of the Basil & Elise Goulandris Foundation from 25 June to 1 October 2017.

Nikos Engonopoulos was a painter, a poet and a professor at the National Technical University. Three areas of activity, separated to some extent, but which enriched one another thanks to a prevailing common denominator: Engonopoulos’ immense, diverse and insatiable - over time – broad and wide-ranging education.

The aim of this dedicated exhibition was to highlight this manifold activity and the undisputed talent he demonstrated in everything he became involved in.

Colour reproductions of all 110 works that were presented in the exhibition are included in this bilingual catalogue (Greek, English), accompanied by well-researched texts, written by people with a deep knowledge of Engonopoulos’ work, as well as poems of the artist.
