Private Visit of the TAKIS Foundation

The Takis Foundation – Research Center for the Art and the Sciences is a space created by the artist himself in order to make his work known and accessible to the general public. Visitors get the chance to admire pieces from the artist’s entire artistic career, starting from the plaster busts he created in 1946 up to his latest works of art. The set of sculptures, paintings, and designs belonging to the Foundation is one of the most complete collections of Takis’ work, while it also provides a detailed overview of all stages and phases of his artistic career.

The Foundation hosts the atelier – workshop of the artist, in which he has worked throughout his career. It is also where the “blacksmith” can be found, where the bigger format artworks of the artist were created and are restored.

The gardens of the Foundation, an area of about eight acres, host the artist’s tall and imposing exterior sculptures, like the Signals, the Aeolians, the Flowers and more.
