Photographs 1975-2002 from the Works on the Acropolis of Athens

The extensive work of restoration, with responsibility entailed, that has been in process during the last 25 years on the Sacred rock of the Acropolis, has now acquired a concrete and imperative time-frame. By the year 2004 – a chronological land – mark for the Greece because of the Olympic Games – the result will be manifest in its entirely, as the works are proceeding systematically and rapidly.The photographic chronicle exhibited here records the progress of the works. It is thus of tremendous value, not only artistically but also because it provides material evidence. For it shows the phases in the course of the works that were imposed by the very nature of the work itself. The exhibition is likewise a tribute to the whole effort being devoted to the Acropolis and indeed to the entire group of people who have dedicated their lives – it would be no exaggeration to say – to this great project.
