Περιγραφή
On the occasion of the exhibition “Alexis Akrithakis, A Line Wave,” opening at the Benaki Museum on 12 February 2026, Agra Publications releases the eponymous volume, edited by Chloe Akrithaki and Alexios Papazacharias—an extensive and multifaceted publishing imprint of the work and trajectory of one of the most emblematic artists of contemporary Greek art.

The volume constitutes an autonomous publishing endeavor that allows for an in-depth approach to Alexis Akrithakis’s artistic practice and thought, complementing and expanding the editorial and visual dialogue initiated nearly a year earlier with the publication of the book  Γράφοντας τη ζωγραφική. Ημερολόγια 1960-1990 (Writing the Painting. Diaries 1960–1990).

The edition includes more than 380 works, as well as texts and archival material covering the full spectrum of Akrithakis’s artistic course, also highlighting the distinct political dimension of his work through themes of his time and generation: fascism, the dictatorship, the Cold War, sexual liberation, the Vietnam War, and space exploration. It also features works from his late period, among them portraits of figures he observed during his brief stay at Dromokaiteio Psychiatric Hospital. From his earliest creations to his final works, his oeuvre unfolds across the pages of the volume Alexis Akrithakis – A Line Wave, illuminating the continuous evolution of his line and his multifaceted visual language and practice.

The volume brings together texts by Chloe Akrithaki, Alexios Papazacharias, Denys Zacharopoulos, George-Ikaros Babassakis, Gürsoy Doğtaş, Dionysis Kavvathas, Glykeria Basdeki, Petros Avlides, and Ilias Papailiakis, alongside personal narratives by the artist and those close to him, as well as previously unpublished and republished texts by Dimitris Poulikakos, Dimitris T. Analis, Christos Joachimides, Katerina Kafopoulou, and Dora Iliopoulou-Rogan. From diverse points of departure and perspective, these contributions articulate a polyphonic narrative about the artist and his era, his life and his work. The arrangement of visual and typographic elements by Lila Paleologos—complex yet cohesive—completes a publishing project that is thoroughly kaleidoscopic, distinguished by its pivotal and catalytic polychromy.
