To celebrate 30 years of presence in the art world, Alexandra Kollaros invites 30 select artists to create a series of 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 theuninhibited enjoyment of it, without pretence or otherwise terms and conditions.

An exhibition made to make our day!

Starring? Thespecial characters that make up the fabric of the contemporary art world, aka the art crowd-the gallerist, the curator, the art critic, the striving artist, the collector, the art lover and all – and the distinct talent of the participating artists. The result is a series of collectors’ artworks,utterly unique in character.

«Ever since my book gotpublished, I dreamt of a collaborative exhibition, together with esteemed colleagues, designed to pay homage toartforart’ssake. Icreatedmysignature doodlesthentheartiststookover, freely expressing themselves on the canvas.I have brought together an elite group of artists: people I admire and respect, artists worth knowing, whether established or emerging.Ultimately, thisisasortofpersonal ‘Bestof’.
