The George Economou Collection is a private
collection located in Athens, Greece. Rooted
in history, social awareness and aesthetics, the
collecting activity began evolving in the 1990s
with a focus on early twentieth-century European
art and has expanded to include an important
holding of postwar and contemporary art.

Central movements of the early twentieth century
such as German Expressionism and New
Objectivity are collected in depth. Unique to the
collection is the complete graphic oeuvre of Otto
Dix and Otto Mueller. Works by artists such as
Anselm Kiefer, Georg Baselitz, Andreas Gursky
and Neo Rauch continue the German dialogue
into the contemporary sphere alongside works by
noted international artists such as Agnes Martin,
Ellsworth Kelly, Cady Noland and Jenny Saville.

With a desire to share the creativity of the artists
represented in the collection, the George
Economou Collection organizes two to three
exhibitions per year in the space in Athens and
collaborates regularly with international institutions
and curators. Reflecting the interest for socio-cultural
awareness and the historical dialogue, these
projects aim to create new opportunities for the
public in Greece and abroad to engage with art.
