The Glyptothek is pleased to present “Beyond Hellas: Santiago Calatrava in the Glyptothek,” the first exhibition devoted exclusively to the sculptural and painting works of renowned architect, engineer and artist Santiago Calatrava inspired by the dynamics of ancient Greece.

The illuminating exhibition follows Calatrava’s career as a sculptor and elucidates how he has been influenced by antiquity and the heritage of “Hellas”, the term the ancient Greeks used to describe native lands, named after the founding father of all Greek tribes. The main focus of the exhibition will be Santiago Calatrava’s new sculptural series, entitled “The Aegineten,” which encompasses a body of work that has been in development for the last 30 years. It consists of 14 wrought iron, large-format works on a base of aged oak.
