The Sotiris Felios Collection is a private collection that began in the 1980s. The Collection is focused on contemporary Greek figurative art and especially on painting centred on the human figure.<\/p>\n
It includes more than a thousand works by Greek artists living and working in Greece (paintings, sculptures, reliefs, constructions, prints, photographs, drawings, et al.).<\/p>\n
All the works of art are the collector\u2019s personal choice.<\/p>\n
In the interest of making the Collection accessible to the wider public, Sotiris Felios established \u201cThe other<\/em> Arcadia\u201d Foundation, which organises exhibitions of the Collection\u2019s works both within and outside of Greece, produces the respective catalogues and liaises with other institutions to lend out the Collection\u2019s works for various exhibitions.<\/p>\n In addition to \u201cThe other<\/em> Arcadia\u201d Foundation, the collector has created the 16 Fokionos Negri<\/a> art space, as a venue to host art exhibitions, organise cultural events and develop collaboration networks, partnerships and exchanges with other cultural organisations.<\/p>\n In 2022 \u201cThe other<\/em> Arcadia\u201d Foundation in collaboration with The Courtauld Institute of Art, London<\/a> inaugurated the “Residency Programme for Academic and Curatorial Research of Greek Contemporary Art” inviting twice a year art theorists and curators from the University to spend 6 weeks in Athens and develop their research.<\/p>\n
