This record is derived from the book by Alekos E. Florakis, My Brother the Painter. Mathèos Florakis (1935-2011): From Cubism to Fantastic Realism (&Athens: Hellenic Homograph Editions, 2023).
The record of Mathèos Florakis’ artistic activity, although extensive, remains incomplete. In a biographical note written in 1980 he states that up to that time he had “organized more than 60 solo exhibitions in Greece, France, Germany, West Berlin, Switzerland and Austria,” and that his works are held in numerous private collections in North and South America, Australia, South Africa and Western Europe, as well as in several museums. Among the museums mentioned are Kunsthaus Aargau (Switzerland), Karl-Ernst Osthaus Museum Hagen (West Germany), and the Graphothek in West Berlin. He also notes that works acquired through state purchases are located in various cities in West Germany, Austria, and France.
Permanent or long-term exhibition venues included: Galerie Argo (Mykonos); Montparnasse Bar-expo (Mykonos); Galerie La Palette Bleu (Paris); Galerie Moering (Wiesbaden, West Germany); Hermes Gallery (Alexandria, Virginia, USA).
