Retrospective of painter Stathis Logothetis (1925-1997): about 70 works and unpublished archive material, his first retrospective since 1994.
Sito del museoLogothetis didn't always finish his paintings himself. Later in his career he left works out in the open and let weather, decay and chance do the rest. Before that he pushed canvas, pigment and frame up against body, skin and blood, and used his own body, or the audience's, to set a painting in motion.
On EMST's ground floor you'll find about 70 works from every period of his career, with loans from collections in Greece and abroad and unpublished material from his personal archive. It is his first retrospective since Thessaloniki in 1994. The museum reads him through ecology and body politics, and through his lifelong collaboration with his brother, the composer Anestis Logothetis.
It suits anyone curious about the Greek avant-garde: after settling in Greece in 1973, the museum says, he found almost none of the exchange he'd had abroad. It closes on 8 November. Thursdays run until 22:00, and the first Thursday of the month (5 November) is free from 18:00.
