The Museum of Contemporary Art Andros Summer Exhibition

The summer exhibition of the Museum of Contemporary Art Andros is the international loan show the Basil & Elise Goulandris Foundation mounts each year at its museum in Chora, the main town of Andros, in the Cyclades. The subject and dates of the 2027 edition have not yet been announced; the exhibition is expected to open in mid-June and run into late September, as the 2026 edition did.

The museum opened on 28 July 1979 in the town where its founder, Basil P. Goulandris, was born, and was the first contemporary art museum in Greece. Its initial core was the bequest of the Andriot sculptor Michalis Tombros; its New Wing, inaugurated on 20 July 1986, was built to house international exhibitions. Since 1987 the summer programme has brought Matisse, Kandinsky, Picasso, Rodin, Giacometti, Klee and Miró to the island.

Classics of Modern Art, the summer exhibition of 1999, curated by Kyriakos Koutsomallis, presented 29 works by 19 artists, among them Monet, Van Gogh, Picasso and Pollock, none of them drawn from public collections. The 2026 edition, Germaine Richier (1902–1959): Conversations, runs from 14 June to 27 September 2026 in the museum’s Old Wing, while maintenance work proceeds in the New Wing.
