From 19 June until 8 September 2019, the Benaki Museum presented the first-ever exhibition in Greece devoted to Avigdor Arikha, a modern master of figurative painting. The exhibition showcased more than fifty of his works gathered from the artist's own collection (now part of private collections and the artist's estate), as well as deportation childhood drawings, and a selection of pages from some of the artist's sketch books. This impeccably produced three-volume slipcased edition chronicles the exhibition and its contents in painstaking detail.

Take in the range of Arikha's achievement In this thoroughly illustrated catalog, alongside his art the book includes six of his essays on art, which are in equal measure perceptive, erudite, and forceful. These are accompanied by valuable critical commentaries and essays on Arikha and his work by, amongst others, Jean Clair, Monica Ferrando, and Michael Peppiatt. The catalogue closes with a wealth of illuminating reference material documenting the artist's life and career, as well as rarely before seen archival photographs of Arikha himself.

Industry Reviews

I met Arikha for the first time in 2009. When I looked at the paintings hanging on the wall of his house or standing on the floor of his studio, I knew with absolute certainty that I was facing the greatest living painter. The painting of future years must start out again from here. -- Giorgio Agamben
