This album of recent work by the talented Greek silversmith Thaleia-Maria Georgoulis marks her contribution to the COLLECT exhibition at London’s Victoria and Albert Museum. Τhe small objects for daily use she has created are the expressions of an art that is abstract and minimalist to the point of asceticism. Using in most cases no other means than cracks, breaks and gashes she gives apparently simple objects new dimensions and significance, shaping small poems in silver in homage to the beauty that we fail to notice in our everyday existence.

[THE BRACELET: NEO-HELLENIC AND ETHNIC (19th-20th Centuries]In Greek. Soft cover, 26x24 cm, 176 pp., ill., net weight 850 gr. In this book, K. Korre-Zografou presents modern Greek and ethnic bracelets of the last two centuries, from her personal collection.

The study utilizes archive material that consists of documents, travelers' texts and photographs. Especially private documents – great tool for studying local communities – reveal personal stories that are related to these objects and the various ways by which they passed from generation to… Read More
