Dimitris Daskalopoulos Collection

Profile

Actively engaged in arts patronage, Athens-based Dimitris Daskalopoulos has amassed one of the world's most significant private collections of contemporary art, composed of more than 400 works by 170 artists. He has lent over 140 artworks to more than 120 international museums in both Europe and the United States in the past 15 years. The D.Daskalopoulos Collection gives particular prominence to large-scale installation and sculptural works as well as to film and video. Many of its ambitious and important pieces will be on display at the Guggenheim Bilbao for the first time since being acquired by the collection. Daskalopoulos is currently actively searching for a suitable site in Athens with a view to opening a permanent space for his collection in 2013/14. His objective is to create a public place to promote the idea, relevance, and enjoyment of contemporary art, with a significant emphasis on interactivity and learning.
