The Deste Foundations Centre for Contemporary Art announces the operation of a newly established library on its premises, complete with a reading room open to all visitors.
The Deste´s Library specializes in the visual arts, with a specific focus on international & Greek contemporary art. It also includes publications on architecture, industrial design and contemporary culture at large. More specifically, it holds a collection of books, exhibition catalogues, magazines, special publications, artists books and an archive of auction catalogues. Furthermore, it includes audiovisual material and artists videos.
The creation of the library together with the Archive of Contemporary Greek Artists that is already open, is an integral part of the Foundations overall program, which aims to provide information on issues of contemporary art and keep the public abreast of the latest developments in the area.
The library welcomes exchanges and donations, thus acknowledging the importance of continuous renewal and growth.
Lastly, it should be noted that the Foundations library is a reference library and not a lending library; it is to be used as a research tool; as a means of obtaining thorough and systematic information.
Access is free for the general public
