Irene Panagopoulos Brings Collection to London's Hellenic Centre in First Show Outside Greece

Irene Y. Panagopoulos, who started her journey as a collector in London and now resides in Greece, is unveiling her collection outside of Greece for the very first time at the Hellenic Centre in London. Titled "Revisiting: Fernweh, or Nostalgia for Unknown Lands," this exhibition marks the international debut of her collection. Panagopoulos's love for art was ignited by a few paintings her father gave her. She expressed, "My life is filled to the brim. I have more artwork than my walls can hold. Collectors always have more than they can display. That’s what being a collector is all about." Her collection, rooted in her Greek heritage, delves into identity and belonging, encouraging UK viewers to consider themes of displacement through art.
