The famed Kostakis
collection of 1,100 Russian avant-garde works of art arrived from Germany
at Thessaloniki's Lazariston monastery early yesterday morning (11/09/98)
under tight security measures. The collection, insured for $50 million
during transportation, was purchased from Kostakis' daughter, Aliki.The
collection, purchased by the Greek State and to be exhibited in the city's
newly founded Modern Art Museum, includes works by Malevic - founder of
the 'Supremacist' school, Tatlin, the founder of 'Constructivism', Popova,
Rozanova and Matiushin. Art aficionado Georgios Kostakis, a Muscovite of
Greek descent, built up his collection between 1930 and 1960 by exchanging
works by western artists for paintings dating from the period 1910-1930
by then unknown Russian avant-garde artists. Kostakis had donated about
150 works to the Tretiakov Art Gallery in Moscow, and had expressed a wish
that the rest of the collection is displayed in Greece.
