Private Museum Insights - The Sotiris Felios Collection in Athens

A private collecting started in the 1980s by art collector Sotiris Felios, The Sotiris Felios Collection is focused on contemporary Greek figurative art, especially on painting centred on the human figure, and includes more than a thousand works by Greek artists living and working in Greece.

Sotiris Felios established “The?other?Arcadia” Foundation so as to make the Collection accessible to the wider public. The Foundation organises exhibitions of the Collection’s works both within and outside of Greece, produces the respective catalogues, and liaises with other institutions to lend out the Collection’s works for various exhibitions. Besides, the collector has created the?16 Fokionos Negri?art space, as a venue to host art exhibitions, organise cultural events and develop collaboration networks, partnerships and exchanges with other cultural organisations.

LARRY’S LIST had a poetice conversation with Sotiris Felios about his art collection; why he chose this location at 16 Fokionos Negri to set up the art space in Athens; the current solo show of figurative paintings by Stefanos Daskalakis; the launch of a 5-year Residency Programme in collaboration with The Courtauld Institute of Art, London; as well as the foundation’s partnership with?Google Arts & Culture?bringing 316 artworks and five online exhibits from The Sotiris Felios Collection to the global audience.
