Onassis Collection

The Onassis Collection is a fascinating and unpredictable world, revealing the dynamic relationship between the past and the present. It features a diverse range of works including paintings, sculptures, engravings, decorative objects, installations, and digital pieces from 1600 to today. The collection spans artists from El Greco and Theodore Poulakis to Jannis Varelas and Loukia Alavanou.

Greek and international artists from different periods, generations, and styles come together under one roof, creating an open narrative of diversity, inclusivity, and non-linearity. Here, Yanoulis Halepas meets Auguste Rodin, Stelios Faitakis meets Fotis Kontoglou, Konstantinos Parthenis meets Ilias Papailiakis, Lucas Samaras meets Bob Wilson, and Jannis Kounellis meets Etel Adnan.

The Onassis Collection promotes dialogue among the arts, looking to the future through the lens of the past. It engages with universal issues of our time, timeless insights, and hidden desires, while showcasing the necessity and redemptive power of art.

Works from the Onassis Collection are displayed in the administrative offices of the Onassis Stegi, the Onassis Library, the Onassis Hospital, the Foundation’s shipping company, the Onassis Stegi, and the new industrial space of Onassis Ready, offering a unique cultural and aesthetic experience to employees and visitors alike.
