Highlights & Description

Experience history as Greece hosts American artist Brice Marden for the first time
Enjoy paintings, drawings, and notebooks that highlight Marden's unique style
Trace the influential impact of ancient Greek techniques on contemporary art

Housed in a perfectly polished white marble building from the Neoclassical era, the modern art collection of American artist Brice Marden is on display in Greece for the first time at Athens' Museum of Cycladic Art.

Marden's contemporary art pieces are coupled with figurines and pottery of the Cycladic era of Greek antiquity to demonstrate the influence ancient Greek style and technique have on today's modern art.

As part of the exhibition series Divine Dialogues, come see why Marden continues to fascinate art lovers with the simplicity of his paintings and drawings. His work draws from art’s long history, combining elements of Minimalism, Abstract Expressionism, as well as ancient calligraphy and poetry, making Brice Marden and Greek Antiquity the perfect addition to the Museum of Cycladic Art.
