Rachel Feinstein Debuts in Greece with 'Fates' at Gagosian Athens

Gagosian opens Rachel Feinstein's first exhibition in Greece, titled Fates, on September 24 in Athens. The show brings together new sculptures, mirror paintings, and works on paper that draw on classical Greek motifs to examine archetypes of femininity, memory and memorials, and the meeting point between mythology and daily life. Anchoring the presentation is a pair of large caryatid sculptures, both dated 2026, which fuse the female figure with architectural forms. These pieces trace the caryatid's Hellenic origins alongside later Roman, Renaissance, and Neoclassical readings, and also reference Auguste Rodin's sculpture Fallen Caryatid Carrying Her Stone (1881–82) and Agnes Varda's short film Les dites cariatides (1984). Feinstein gives each caryatid distinct features, individual fashions, and an identifying object; Helen depicts Helen of Troy holding an apple.
