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.

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.

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.

Catalogue of the exhibition Dimitris Mytaras, From the Contemporary to the Timeless held at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Andros of the Basil & Elise Goulandris Foundation from 1 July to 30 September 2018.

The main characteristic of Dimitris Mytaras’ painting is the coexistence of contradictory elements, which are skillfully intertwined to create the paradoxicality that runs through his entire fertile and creative artistic course. Poetry is expressed alongside violence, lyricism with brutality, pleasure with coarseness.

Apart from a distinguished and popular painter, he was also a poet, talented stage and costume designer, illustrator, designer of decorative representations and charismatic teacher. The aim of this tribute was to highlight both his thematic multilateralism and his technical diversity and dexterity.

Access to the impressive, in both volume and quality, archive of the late Dimitris Mytaras, offered us the opportunity to include a plethora of unpublished information in our research, something which imbued this effort with added interest and significance.

Colour reproductions of all 100 works that were presented in the exhibition are included in this bilingual catalogue (Greek, English), accompanied by essays by Marie Koutsomallis-Moreau, curator of the exhibition, a detailed illustrated chronology and poems by the artist.
