IYP X Museum of Cycladic Art, Athens

As part of the exhibition series “Divine Dialogues”, American artist Brice Marden presented his work in dialogue with selected antiquities from the permanent collections of the Museum of Cycladic Art.

This was the first museum exhibition devoted to this renowned artist to be held in Greece, and was organized by the Museum of Cycladic Art in close collaboration with Marden and curator and artist Dimitrios Antonitsis.

Marden, now in his eighties with a career that spans six decades, continues to fascinate with the gestural 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.
