The Itinerary of a Collector: The Vasilis Korkolopoulos Collection
Greek language text, c. 100 colour illustrations. Vasilis
Korkolopoulos seeks to rescue from oblivion rare items of folk art
covering the entire spectrum of human activity in the recent past
(weapons, cartridge pouches, amulets, watches, etc.). Leaving no
stone unturned, he searches for the thread that will lead him back
to forgotten layers of Greek culture and the Greek psyche.
Consequently, simply to browse through the pages of the catalogue
of his collection is rather more than just a lesson in good taste:
it familiarises the reader with the symbolical vocabulary that
created and gave expression to the fantasy world of Modern Greeks.
The collection is given a special character and a wider
significance precisely by the care shown by its creator for Greek
cultural self-awareness, to which the present volume also aspires
to give prominence. Prologue by Professor Angelos Delivorrias,
Director of the Benaki Museum. Greek language text
