Marlene Dumas | Solo exhibition | Cycladic Museum | Athens, Greece
5 June 2025 – 3 November 2025
The abstracted, anthropomorphic marble figurines known as Cycladic Art, were produced on the islands of the Aegean Sea from around ca. 3300 to 1100 B.C.E. Its enduring importance has been brought to the fore by the Museum of Cycladic Art by bringing these ancient works into dialogue with the paintings and works on paper of contemporary South African artist Marlene Dumas.
