The Hellenic Centre in the UK and the European Commission Representation in London, will be presenting the exhibition "Modern Greek Printmaking: Selected works from the Yiannis Papaconstantinou Collection" in celebration of the Greek EU Presidency. The exhibition is organized under the auspices of the Hellenic Embassy in the UK and will take place at the Gallery in Europe House from May 7 to 23. The inauguration will take place on Europe Day, May 9.

Featuring 45 prints from leading 20th century Greek artists, the exhibition will include woodcuts, copper engravings, etchings, lithographs and linoleum cuts — some of them rare — from the Yannis Papaconstantinou collection.

The selection on display has been drawn from one of the most important private Greek print collections which encompass more than 1,000 works by 250 Greek artists of the 19th and 20th centuries.
