The standalone catalogue that will accompany the exhibition will include the above and will serve as a starting point for Nikolaos Ventouras\u2019 following exhibitions.<\/p>\n<p>The Nikolaos G. Ventouras NGO was funded and is maintained by the artist&#8217;s estate and manages the entirety of the artist&#8217;s work, extensive archive and notes on his work, the experiments he conducted to achieve the exact idea. Nikolaos Ventouras was born in 1899 and dedicated his life, over six decades, to his art until his passing in 1990. Some of his artwork can be found in collections around the world, in both private collections and museums.<\/p>\n<pre>Benaki Museum\r\n138 PIREOS ST.\r\n\r\nOPENING: 13.12.2017, 20:00\r\nDURATION: 14\/12\/2017 - 25\/02\/2018\r\nThursday &amp; Sunday 10:00 - 18:00\r\nFriday &amp; Saturday:10:00 - 22:00<\/pre>\n<div id=\"visit_details_btn\" class=\"ben-button ben-button-s-sm ben-margin-t20 ben-textcolor-purple\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first retrospective exhibition of Corfiot engraver and artist Nikolaos Ventouras and the only exhibition organised by the artist&#8217;s estate after his passing.
