Catalogue of the exhibition Sophia Vari held at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Andros of the Basil & Elise Goulandris Foundation from 29 June to 28 September 2014.

Sophia Vari, an internationally renowned Greek artist with a multicultural artistic education, began her career as a figurative painter, eventually turning to sculpture in the mid-80s where she excelled. Vari remained independent throughout her career, never following any particular school of thought or practice, or joining any art movements, steering clear of established beliefs, and engaging in a bold and passionate quest for models she might be inspired from to create her very personal universe of forms.

Apart from a large and varied sample of her work in sculpture that was the exhibition's main axis, this tribute also included drawings, watercolours, oils, reliefs, and collages, as well as micro-sculptures.

Colour reproductions of all the works are included in this bilingual catalogue (Greek, English), published by SKIRA.
