During 2013, we continued our significant social work by supporting initiatives that focused on education, volunteerism and the promotion of Greek culture. Examples of the Bank’s initiatives in this domain are the “Χέρι Βοηθείας” - Helping Hand programme for collecting and donating food supplies to families in need and the project “The defacements that hurt”, which involved the restoration and maintenance of sculptures in the Athens city centre, as well as the numerous voluntary social and environmental events organised by the Bank on a regular basis, the most prominent of which is the “Alpha Bank Group Volunteer Day” annual event, which takes place every May in the countries where the Bank is present and attracts more than 1,500 volunteers from the Bank’s personnel. Responsibility and integrity have always been – and will remain – key to our operation and a true reflection of the Bank’s position as a pillar of the Greek banking sector. Demetrios P.

E-mail: [email protected] Alpha Bank is a Greek Société Anonyme with Banking Operations as its primary activity. The Bank’s registered office is located at 40 Stadiou Street, 102 52 Athens, Greece. The CSR Report 2013 is addressed to all the Bank’s Stakeholders and refers to its activities in Greece during the period from 1 January to 31 December 2013 unless otherwise indicated. The most important challenge in preparing this year’s Report was to establish the basis for reporting the consolidated data which resulted after the acquisition of Emporiki Bank by the Alpha Bank Group. No significant changes were introduced in the scope, boundary or measurement methods with respect to the previous reporting period (i.e. the Bank’s CSR Report 2012). The present publication also includes data for the two previous years (2011 and 2012). However, these refer only to Alpha Bank, as the Bank did not consolidate the Alpha Bank and Emporiki Bank data for these years because of the differences in the data kept and in the measurement methods employed by the two banks.

  • Greek Modernism: a National Scenario
    Great Narratives of the Past. Traditions and Revisions in National Museums Conference proceedings from EuNaMus, European National Museums: Identity Politics, the Uses of the Past and the European Citizen, Paris 29 June – 1 July & 25-26 November 2011. Dominique Poulot, Felicity Bodenstein & José María Lanzarote Guiral (eds) EuNaMus Report No 4. Published by Linköping University Electronic Press: http://www.ep.liu.se/ecp_home/index.en.aspx?issue=078 © The Author. Greek Modernism: A National Scenario. Experiences and Ideological Trajectories Annie Malama National Gallery – Alexandros Soutzos Museum Abstract This paper aspires to comment on the idea of suggesting an alternative scenario concerning the national narrative about Modern Greek Art, in the context of the curatorial approach I personally followed for the exhibition Versions of Greek modernism: experiences and ideological trajectories (actually one of the sections of a broader temporary exhibitional project, entitled Unknown Treasures from the National Gallery Collections, that took place in the National Gallery-Alexandros Soutzos Museum in Athens from October 2011 to January 2012). Choosing the works for this particular section I was responsible for, was a great opportunity to challenge the certainties of linear presentation adopted in the permanent exhibition of the museum and the rather outdated historiographical scheme it is based on. More specifically, instead of continuing the reproduction of long perpetuated stereotypes, motivated by a sometimes compulsive need to showcase masterpieces, to demonstrate an unbroken continuity in space and time, exclusively based on superficial formal comparison of the output of the Greek visual arts production and its international counterparts, I suggest it is about time that we enrich the issues posed and focus on broader cultural, historical contexts.

  • STEPHEN ANTONAKOS Laconia, Greece 1926 — New York 2013
    STEPHEN ANTONAKOS Laconia, Greece 1926 — New York 2013 Antonakos’s work with neon since 1960 has lent the medium new perceptual and formal meanings in hundreds of gallery and museum exhibitions first in New York and then internationally. His use of spare, complete and incomplete geometric neon forms has ranged from direct 3-D indoor installations to painted Canvases, Walls, the well known back- lit Panels with painted or gold surfaces, his Rooms and Chapels. Starting in the 1970s he installed over 55 architecturally-scaled permanent Public Works in the USA, Europe, Israel, and Japan. Throughout, he conceived work in relation to its site — its scale, proportions, and character — and to the space that it shares with the viewer. He called his art, “real things in real spaces,” intending it to be seen without reference to anything outside the immediate visual and kinetic experience. Colored pencil drawings on paper and vellum, often in series, have been a major, rich practice since the 1950s; as has his extensive work with collage. Other major practices include the conceptual Packages, small-edition Artist’s Books, silver and white Reliefs, prints, and — since 2011 — several series of framed and 3-D Gold Works. Antonakos was born in the small Greek village of Agios Nikolaos in 1926 and moved to New York with his family in 1930. In the late 1940s, after returning from the US Army, he established his first studio in New York’s fur district. From the early 1960s forward, until the end in 2013, he worked in studios in Soho.

Paperback. 150 pp. ISBN 978-960-204-379 Matthew Rampley For many art history students of a certain generation, courses on art historical method were likely to have included a book titled Art History and Class Struggle.1 An extensive discussion of Marxist art history, it was part of the transformation of art history in the 1970s and early 1980s that saw the appearance of a number of pioneering works of social art history by scholars such as T. J. Clark, Horst Bredekamp and Albert Boime.2 Yet its author, Nicos Hadjinicolaou, remained a largely unknown figure. His book was first published in French in 1973, and by the time it gained wider prominence in English translation, he had already returned to the University of Crete, where he made a reputation as a scholar of El Greco.3 Art History and Class Struggle may have ended up becoming eclipsed by later authors as an exemplar of the social history of art, yet it was testimony to a practice of art history writing in Greece that was, and remains, barely known outside of the country.
