His selected works artist Vlasis Kaniaris have been presented since the beginning of October at the Hellenic Center in London, in an exhibition that includes “Selected works of the decades 1960-1980” and which brings together some of the most characteristic large-scale “structures in space” of the artist.

The exhibits come from the collection of the Tate Gallery, from the donation of the D. Daskalopoulos Collection to Tate and from the Estate of Vlasis Kaniaris and, in collaboration with the Kalfagian Gallery, the exhibition is the first solo presentation of his work in London after the historical exhibition “Immigrants”, at the Institute of Contemporary Arts, in 1976.

Born in 1928, Vlasis Kaniaris remains one of the most important Greek artists of his generation. Multilingual and cosmopolitan, he left Greece in the late 1950s to live and study in Rome and Paris, lived and worked in Berlin in the early 1970s, returning in 1976, after the fall of the dictatorship, in Athens, where he remained until his death in 2011.
