A major retrospective exhibition showcasing works by one of Greece’s greatest painters is on show at the Piraeus Street annex of the Benaki Museum in Athens until March 13, 2010. This is the first retrospective of Yannis Tsarouchis’ works in Athens, showcasing 680 representative painted works from all the periods of the his oeuvre, as well as a large number of set design models that belong to museums and private collections in Greece and overseas. The exhibition Yannis Tsarouchis 1910-1989 is organized on the occasion of the centenary of the Tsarouchis’ birth.

Yannis Tsarouchis 1910-1989 is a show that Tsarouchis himself had envisioned, according to curator and president of the Yannis Tsarouchis Foundation Niki Grypari. The exhibition is a joint project put together by the Benaki, the Yannis Tsarouchis Foundation in Maroussi and the Bank of Cyprus Cultural Foundation.
