Gallerist Thea Montauti d’Harcourt Lyginos Brings International Art to Antiparos

On the Greek island of Antiparos, a summer exhibition titled “Melting Beauty” features works by renowned international artists, including a bronze rabbit sculpture by Leiko Ikemura. The exhibition is organized by Thea Montauti d’Harcourt Lyginos, founder of Geneva-based gallery L’Appartement. The remote Cycladic location reflects her Greek heritage and family summers on the island. Montauti d’Harcourt Lyginos’s curatorial philosophy emphasizes placing art in residential settings, as she does at her Geneva gallery. The exhibition includes multiple works by major artists, set against the backdrop of the Aegean Sea. The choice of Antiparos underscores a trend of using unconventional spaces for art display, offering an intimate encounter with contemporary art.
