Pace Gallery and The Intermission present a survey of Lucas Samaras in Piraeus, marking the artist’s first solo exhibition in Greece in two decades. Bringing together works from the 1960s through the 2010s, the exhibition highlights the breadth of Samaras’s practice, spanning sculpture, painting, photography, digital media, and wearable art, while also celebrating his nearly sixty-year relationship with Pace, which has represented him exclusively since 1965.
Born in Kastoria in 1936 and immigrating to the United States in 1948, Samaras became a central figure in New York’s postwar avant-garde, shaped by his early involvement in the Happenings. The exhibition features Auto Polaroids, Photo-Transformations, Mosaic Paintings, Reconstructions, pastels, and jewelry, alongside sculptures from the Box series and other transformed objects. Together, these works illustrate his lifelong exploration of selfhood and transformation.
