EVENTS CALENDAR

The Evagoras and Kathleen Lanitis Foundation, in collaboration with the Herakleidon Museum of Athens, hosts at the Evagoras Lanitis Centre in Limassol the world acclaimed exhibition titled “The Complete Sculptures of Edgar Degas,” which has traveled around the world attracting widespread international interest.
The exhibition presents all seventy-four bronze sculptures by Edgar Degas featuring “The Little Dancer, Aged Fourteen.” The sculptures are from the collection of the M.T. Abraham Center for the Visual Arts which graciously loaned the bronzes to the Evagoras and Kathleen Lanitis Foundation for this special exhibition. The exhibition will be open to the public from 10 December 2011 until 12 February 2012.
All the bronzes in this exhibition were cast from recently discovered plasters made from Degas’ original waxes either during his lifetime or shortly after his death.  Thus scholars, researchers and the general public will be able to more accurately evaluate Degas' working techniques and skills, placing him, along with Auguste Rodin, as the preeminent sculptor of his time.
The exhibition will also feature an 1872 pencil drawing by Edgar Degas, “Horses and Riders,” on loan from the George Economou Collection in Athens. 
The exhibition will be opened by His Excellency the French Ambassador, Mr. Jean Marc Rives, and the Honorable Minister of Education and Culture of Cyprus, Mr. George Demosthenous, on Saturday 10 December 2011, at 7.30 p.m., at the Evagoras Lanitis Centre, Lanitis Carob Mill, Limassol.Exhibition opening times
