Alexandra Kollaros & a select group of artists
invite you to celebrate Contemporary Greek Art.
The Concept
30 distinguished Greek Artists, 30 art doodles, 1 author / curator & 1 art book.
These are the ingredients of “The Most Wonderful Art Show“, an art exhibition that is literally like no other.
To celebrate 30 years in the art world, Alexandra Kollaros invites 30 select artists to create collaborative works, drawing inspiration from the characters of her book “Greek Art from A to Z”. In the humorous spirit of the book, the exhibition’s starting point is sincere love for art and its final destination its pure enjoyment, without pretence or otherwise terms and conditions.
An exhibition made to make your day!
The Protagonists
The gallerist, the curator, the art critic, the striving artist, the collector, the art lover & all:
The art crowd, those special characters that make up the fabric of the contemporary art world.
Each doodle corresponds to an artist. Click to find out whom.
(To put you in the mood, we have sneaked in a few artworks in the mix!
The rest will directly premiere at the exhibition.)
The (Celebrant) Curator
Ever since I published my book, I dreamt of making this happen: a collaborative exhibition, put together primarily to celebrate art for art’s sake. Six years later, and with the opportunity of my 30th anniversary as an art world professional, here we are. I have brought together an elite group of artists: artists I admire and respect, creators who produce interesting work today, artists worth knowing, whether established or emerging. The exhibition highlights the timeless allure of art and the unique work of the artists in question. It also overflows with positive energy – looking at these artworks instantaenously makes your day. With one word the show is fabulous, hence the name «The Most Wonderful Art Show». I am delighted with this exhibition and look forward to sharing it with the world.
“Invariably this is a concise ‘Best of’:
they are all artists I believe are on top of the Greek art game at this moment in time.”
