YOUNG PATRONS

JANUARY 15, 2025

The Young Patrons at their recent gathering held a private visit and tour of the group exhibition Fernweh, or Nostalgia for Unknown Lands at the IYP Collection.

Through visual artworks, folk art objects, archival materials, books, manuscripts, maps, historical documents, and artifacts of applied arts, visitors are invited to trace the threads that weave the collection together.

The group show Fernweh, or Nostalgia for Unknown Lands introduces the Irene Y. Panagopoulos Collection space to the public. This inaugural exhibition unveils a representative selection from the collection’s multifaceted holdings, spanning from the 16th century to the present, and emphasizes its distinctly international perspective. It also foregrounds collecting as an intricate practice that involves research, documentation, archiving, preservation, and the protection of objects.

The guided tour was conducted by the curator of the exhibition, Katerina Hadji.
