How do you feel that Greek contemporary art will develop
in the future?
The situation is definitely improving. The Greek contemporary
art scene is becoming more international. Art Athina,
the annual contemporary art fair of the capital, helps a great
deal since it gives people a chance to see what is going on
abroad.
What do you think is the future of Greek contemporary
art outside Greece?
The promotion of Greek artists internationally is, unfortunately,
still limited to the private sphere. A few of the artists
we work with, like Konstantin Kakanias, Miltos Manetas
and George Lappas, do have successful careers outside
Greece.
What are the aims of the Rebecca Camhi Gallery?
We aim to bring international art into Greece. We do not
just focus on local artists, but attempt to exhibit a broad
range of work, both from within Greece and abroad.
How do you feel the creation of a Modern Art Museum will
affect the Greek art scene?
It will give people the chance to get to know established
artists without having to travel abroad.
