 Tribute to Hadjikyriakos-Ghika

 The Museum of Contemporary Art on Andros Island hosts an exhibition dedicated to the work of renowned Greek painter Nikos Hadjikyriakos-Ghika from July 3 to September 25.

Titled A Timeless Contemporary, the exhibition is a tribute to an artist that was instrumental in advancing art and thought in Greece as much through his work in painting as through his many writings. Ghika created his own visual language that was inseparably linked to the light and landscapes of Greece and became the link between the European avant-garde and Greek modernism, rightfully earning a prominent place in Greek art history.
