This year, VERGOS Auctions is holding its annual event for collectors and art lovers at the Michael Cacoyannis Foundation, presenting the “Auction of 19th- and 20th-Century Modern Greek Painting & Sculpture.”

The auction will take place on Wednesday, May 27, at 6:30 p.m., preceded by a preview from May 24–26, giving visitors the opportunity to view the 162 works that trace the evolution of Greek art.

Among them, the imposing “Port” by Konstantinos Volanakis stands out as a prime example of the great marine painter’s skill, as does “Untitled (1988)” by Yannis Kounellis, a work embodying the symbolic austerity that established the artist’s international reputation.

Of particular interest are also Yannis Tsarouchis’s “Cyclist Disguised as a Tsolias” and Theodoros Vryzakis’s iconic “Karaouli,” a characteristic reference to the historical painting of the Munich School. Among the auction’s notable works is also “La Bicyclette Onirique” by Alekos Fassianos, a work that has also been exhibited at the National Gallery – Alexander Soutsos Museum.

The sculpture and ceramics section holds a special place in the catalog, featuring works by Kostas Varotsos, Sophia Vari, Theodoros Papagiannis, Giorgos Zongolopoulos, Christos Kapralos, Afroditi Liti, Nikolaos and Eleni Vernadaki, highlighting the timeless vitality of Greek creativity.

The list is rounded out by works by leading figures in modern Greek art, such as Theophilos, Konstantinos Maleas, Spyros Vassiliou, Yannis Moralis, Nikos Engonopoulos, Pavlos, Yannis Gaitis, Chryssa, Dimitris Mytaras, Yannis Kottis, Giorgos Rorris, Thanasis Tsigos, Kostas Tsoclis, Manolis Haros, Sotiris Sorogas, John Christoforou, and many others.
