Welcoming “Harlequin” by Ioanna Limniou ( ) to our collection.

I first encountered Ioanna Limniou’s work in 2021 at the Degree Show of the Athens School of Fine Arts - one painting stopped me in my tracks and stayed with me ever since. Since then, I have followed Ioanna’s artistic development closely, admiring the quiet emotional depth and sensitivity of her paintings.

“Harlequin” particularly drew me in through its enigmatic atmosphere and luminous palette of greens and yellows. The fragmented diamond-patterned costume, the reclining figure and the black cat create a scene that feels intimate, melancholic and dreamlike at once. Rendered with Ioanna’s restrained and highly sensitive approach to colour and light, the work possesses a timeless, almost poetic stillness.

Ioanna Limniou also participates in “Homecoming” - the inaugural exhibition at our future private artspace and salon on Ithakis Street in Kypseli, Athens, curated by Polina Kosmadaki.

The exhibition is on view until 27 June 2026, open Thursday–Saturday, 12.00–20:00, and by appointment.

„Homecoming”, the inaugural exhibition at our future private art space on Ithakis Street in Kypseli, Athens, is now open and on view Thursday to Friday 12 - 8 pm..

Athens has held a very special place in our life for many years. With this remarkable Art Deco apartment - once home to Nobel Prize-winning poet Odysseas Elytis - we will establish - in addition to our Australian residence and Artbarn - a new European base for the collection and a salon-like private artspace.

Curated by Polina Kosmadaki, „Homecoming“ brings together Greek and international artists in dialogue around the idea of return - physical, emotional and personal.

On view until 27 June.

Location: Ithakis 31, Kypseli, Athens

From the collection: „Tears of the Djulpan“ (2023), by Djakanu Yunupingu.

Djakangu Yunupingu (born 1945, Arnhem Land, Northern Territory, Australia) is a Yolngu elder and distinguished contemporary Australian artist based in Yirrkala in the Northern Territory, whose celestial paintings depict the story of the Djulpan, the story of the Pleiades constellation known as the Seven Sisters.

Working from the Buku-Larrŋgay Mulka Centre ( ) in Yirrkala, Yunupingu first exhibited her paintings in 2021 at the age of seventy-two, after caring for her late sister Mrs N Yunupiŋu for many years. She had previously participated in printmaking workshops with her sisters when in 2011 they collectively made the renowned, Seven Sisters suite of prints.

Yunupingu paints on bark using earth pigments and gapan (clay) applied with a small brush called a Marwat, which is a small brush made by hand using fine, straight, human hair. She methodically applies the paint onto the surface of the bark using a technique called rarrk (cross-hatching). Through dedicated practice she has honed and refined this technique.

Heartfelt congratulations to Gaypalani Wanambi on receiving the 2026 Wynne Prize at the in Sydney! We love her work and are delighted to have a magnificent metal-piece of Gaypalani‘s in the collection.

With deep respect and admiration, we warmly congratulate Gaypalani Waṉambi on being awarded the 2026 Wynne Prize at the Art Gallery of New South Wales.

Gaypalani made the following statement when she received the news this morning.

‘My father was a great artist and I learnt by his side. He made bark paintings, video and metal. He passed away too young and we miss him. We are descended from the Honey spirit Wuyal. He cut the tree at Gurka’wuy and the honey flowed to the sea.‘

This recognition honours Gaypalani’s enduring commitment to sharing her family’s stories and artistic legacy. We are humbled to see this achievement celebrated on such a significant stage and extend our heartfelt congratulations to Gaypalani, her family, and community. Thank you and congratulations to all the Archibald, Wynne and Sulman finalists and winners

We would also like to thanks the team for their representation and dedication to supporting Gaypalani and her family.

We love the work of George Condo!

Thank you for this exquisite portrait of the artist and his practice!
・・・
George Condo (b. 1957, Concord, New Hampshire) is one of the defining painters of late 20th- and 21st-century figuration, known for constructing psychologically fractured faces that draw on Old Master painting, Cubism, caricature, and American popular culture.

He studied art history and music theory, worked briefly for Andy Warhol in New York, and later developed what he called “Artificial Realism,” a mode that treats the invented, the grotesque, and the mentally unstable as legitimate subjects of portraiture.

Rather than depicting likeness in any conventional sense, Condo’s portraits often stage the human subject as divided, theatrical, and multiple at once. That tension, between elegance and distortion, comedy and dread, is central to his importance.

Across painting and drawing, he reworked the legacies of European portraiture through a contemporary psychological lens, producing figures that feel less observed than internally exposed.

JOSEPH BEUYS!

Repost
・・・
Joseph Beuys was a German artist and one of the most influential figures in postwar European art. A former Luftwaffe pilot, he claimed to have been shot down over Crimea in 1943 and rescued by Tatars who packed his body in fat and felt to keep him alive. This experience would became the foundation of his entire artistic practice.

By 1974, when this dialogue was filmed in New York, Beuys had already staged some of the most provocative actions in art history, including lecturing to a dead hare, spending three days locked in a gallery with a wild coyote and filling a room with 500 kilograms of fat.

For Beuys, creativity was not a gift reserved for artists. It was a political right belonging to everyone.

Has this all really happened? We are still processing last weeks events- speechless, grateful, and profoundly touched - by this incredibly warm welcome to Athens yesterday and in the past days.

Greek hospitality (Xenia) is legendary - rooted in myth and once seen as a sacred law of the gods, protected by Zeus Xenios. It has been adopted and lived by the Greek people over millennia, celebrating Xenia to this day - our opening of “Homecoming” yesterday the living proof. Over one thousand visitors during the first hours - traffic on Ithakis Street coming to a standstill - apologies dear neighbours.

Thank you all for honoring the artists, curator, my team, and family with your presence - it meant the world to us and to me and marks a true homecoming. It took Ulysses ten years - I found my home here forty-two years after I first set foot in this beautiful country and city.

As kindly quotes me speaking about the stunning space and vibes of our Kypseli building in her feature in

“This space is a city within itself - its stories, its traces of time, its neighbours, and everything it may become. That is what we hope for.”

The foundation is laid… this is just the beginning…

“Homecoming”, curated by Polina Kosmadaki ( ) is now open and can be viewed on Ithakis Street 31 Thursday to Saturday, 12 - 8 pm - until 27 June 2026.

We could not have wished for a better „housewarming“ for our venture in Athens:

With Homecoming - gathering forty four Greek and international artists in dialogue around the ideas of return, arrival and belonging - curator Polina Kosmadaki ( ) orchestrated our own Homecoming to a place that never was, yet always felt like home.

This magical apartment and rooftop in a prominent Art Deco building on Ithakis Street sparked what the Greeks call an “Ithaki moment” - a profound sense of return.

This venue found us before we even knew we were looking for it - and will become our European home and headquarters, where we will live, work, and present art and projects in a salon-like private art space from fall 2027, once the restoration is completed.

Homecoming is on view until 27 June, open Thursday to Saturday, 12 - 8 pm on Ithakis Street 31, Kypseli/Athens
