The Museum's Collection of Cycladic Art, one of the most important in the world, is a pole of attraction for young and old alike. The austere marble figurines depicting nude figures of humans enchant visitors with their simplicity and abstraction -- features that have, indeed, inspired 20th-century artists such as Brancusi, Modigliani, Giacometti, Barbara Hepworth, Henry Moore and others.
From the very first years of its life, the Museum of Cycladic Art has sought to communicate with the general public through major temporary exhibitions on archaeology, modern and contemporary art. Alongside these it has organised educational programmes for primary and secondary schools, free recreational programmes for parents and children, lectures, one-day conferences, and seminars.
Today, over 3,000 artefacts of Cycladic, Ancient Greek and Cypriot Art are on display on four floors, in the galleries of the Museum, a living cultural space in the heart of Athens.
I find it cute but misguided how the British elites identify themselves with Demosthenes. Demosthenes could only see the small picture. He was all about the interests of his city-state, of his microcosm. Philip and Alexander were those who saw the big picture. Visionaries of the great synthesis far ahead of their time for no Athenian politician, no Spartan politician, no Theban politician has ever done SO MUCH for Hellenism and therefore for Europe than Philip and his brilliant son, Alexander the Great.
Είναι βέβαιο και παρηγορητικό που έστω υπάρχει κάποιο υποτυπώδης υλικό για αυτή την μεγαλειώδη επανάσταση στην αντίληψη για την Τέχνη που για πρώτη φόρα στην Ανθρώπινη ιστορία ήταν άρρηκτα δεμένη με την Φιλοσοφία και την ευρεία αντίληψη της Κοινωνικής Πολιτικής & όχι μόνο. Ο αξιομνημόνευτος και αξιομακάριστος Μάλεβιτς και ακόμα όχι όσο θα έπρεπε αναγνωρισμένος και τιμημένος για την μεγαλειώδη σύλληψη του περί της μετουσίωσης της Φιλοσοφίας στο Σύμπαν, συνόδεψε με πλήρη αξιοπρέπεια, ανδρεία, αρετή, μαχητικότητα, την νέα εποχη στην Ιστορία με την είσοδο του Σουπρεματισμμού, με ένα εξαιρετικό και εμπνευσμένο Θεϊκά Μανιφέστο που εγώ το καλώ Μανιφέστο του Μαύρου Τετραγώνου, με άκρα μεταφορική αλλά και ουσιαστική εφαρμογή ενός "Λακωνίζειν" διανθισμένο με υγιή αναρχία και Προοδευτικότητα που άπτεται άμμεσα με κάθε Πυλώνα της Ανθρώπινης δραστηριότητας και Ισατορίας Εξέλιξης. Προσωπικά θεωρώ τούτη την ΕΠΑΝΑΣΤΑΣΗ, μακράν πιο σηναντική από την Πολυδιαφημισμένη Βιομηχανική ως άκρως Ανθρωποκεντρική μπολιασμένη με αγνή θρησκευτική αγάπη. Κρίμα λοιπόν να μην αναλύεται αυτό εδώ το Φαινόμενο που εικάζω συμβαίνει μια φορά την Χιλιετία. ΑΥΤΆ.
The comment below is a true statement that I can vouch for without hesitation. I was one of the victims of Rondinone's robberies, robberies that he could talk his way out of because we knew him, it was extremely embarrassing. Incidentally, even as a student at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna, Rondinone had a new bike every week. There are people who committed the same criminal acts as Ugo Rondinone and who went to prison for it. The question is whether this is fair to the people who were Rondinone's victims and to those who served years in prison for the same crime. Think about it before you drown in admiration for someone you don't even know!
A HORROR ENDORSEMENT-psychopathic gold-from a notorious art dealer and her call for exploitation: "One has to be evil, downright evil!" quote Eva Presenhuber; We publish these embarrassing statements because we are not the only ones who have been closely following this worrying development in the art market for some time. Former director of Presenhuber gallery: “She’s the type of person who will finish your sentences for you, she won’t let you finish talking. Is there any clearer proof of hubris? Still, she feels very good about it. Eva Presenhuber is rather a special kind of person. I think the best word to describe her would be sociopath. Insiders know that Eva Presenhuber has destroyed important artistic careers on behalf of Rondinone in the past. In fact, at Rondinone's request, she eliminated potential competitors to the point of financially damaging herself; It is thanks to Rondinone's machinations that Pipilotti Rist, Urs Fischer and Hugo Markl changed galleries. There's no remorse, Eva Presenhuber wouldn't even know what you were talking about!" EVA PRESENHUBER has been dubbed the HARVEY WEINSTEIN of the art world, but male artists don't go to the police even after being maliciously hassled by a gallery owner like Presenhuber. The way in which some of the most influential contemporary artists are exploited by their peers can be compared to the most brutal psychological abuse of any other pejorative relationship, surely one of the bloodiest lines of business in existence. If anyone has information on where to find Hugo Markl, please let us know! Markl has disappeared, we don't know if he is still alive; The puppet master behind Markl's disappearance is Ugo Rondinone-the Ex-husband of Eva Presenhuber. Of course, those evil and wicked machinations are carefully concealed, carefully hidden behind the mask of the finest, most humane, and most sensitive of all motives, namely, art. You have the right to know such compromising facts so that you can use your powerful influence on existing and future collaborations to react accordingly with your inner moral compass, if you have one! Of course, the lack of imagination of a Monster and its underlings does not change this fact.
I don’t know why he keeps painting those silly faces. Maybe as a one off for intrigue but not as a running theme in so many shows. They re ugly and not something I would want on my wall.
Ugo Rondinone? Ugo Rondinone was supposed to tell about the time when he was a rent boy and how his career came about. Or how he, as a roommate in shared apartments, stole from those who only had the bare essentials. Time heals all crimes. Now he's a big angel!
