Basil & Elise Goulandris Foundation: Takis 1∞

On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the birth of the distinguished artist Takis (Panayiotis Vassilakis, 1925–2019), the Basil & Elise Goulandris Foundation is organising the anniversary tribute “Takis 1∞” at its museums in Athens and Andros.

The Magnetic Fields, the part of the exhibition on display in Athens, is consecrated to the long and fertile relationship that Takis cultivated with magnetic fields, a landmark in his course that dates back to 1959. From his first Télésculptures until his last Magnetic Fields in 2018, the journey includes the groundbreaking performance The Impossible – A Man in Space, his Télépeintures, Télélumières, Magnétrons, Magnetic Nowhere, Magnetic Walls, Magnetic Paintings and Electromagnetic Spheres, as well as his illustrious Musical Works.
