Creative Visions - Anastasios G Leventis & West Africa
This exhibition traces A. G. Leventis’ path to success, a nation’s struggle for freedom and a group of artists’ transition to modernism.
From Ghana to Nigeria, from colonialism to independence – a journey in the footsteps of Anastasios G. Leventis, through art, photography and much more.
The A. G. Leventis Gallery collaborated with the A. G. Leventis Foundation, Nigeria, Gallery Tiwani, London and the Director of the Museum of Natural History A. G. Leventis, University Obafemi, Awolowo AdisaOgunfolakan, Nigeria. The exhibition is enriched with artifacts, photos and other objects from Anastasios G. Leventis’ personal archive and the A. G. Leventis Foundation archives in London and Athens. Traditional fabrics were borrowed from Anthony Griffiths, the former Curator of the Department of Prints and Drawings of the British Museum in London and the Curator of the Textiles Department of the British Museum Jude Rudoe. The works of Nigerian modern artists came from the Leventis and David family collections.
A catalogue of the exhibition will be available, and special tours and educational programmes will be offered.
