The early core of the Foundation’s “Greek Collection” was formed of the artworks acquired by Anastasios G. Leventis in 1973 from Evangelos Averoff-Tossizza. During the 1990s and 2000s, this collection was extensively studied and added to and today it comprises of 264 works by 106 artists- oil paintings, watercolours, drawings and prints. It spans more than 100 years of artistic production, from the mid-19th century to around 1970, representing the diverse periods, trends and aesthetic approaches that shaped the history of Modern Greek painting.
