The book Frames of reference – From the Bank of Greece Collection accompanies the namesake exhibition at the Benaki Museum / 138 Pireos Street, organized by the Centre of Culture, research and Documentation of the bank of Greece on the occasion of the 90 year anniversary from the Bank’s start of operations, in 1928. It was on the same year , 1928, that the Bank began collecting artworks, dating from the mid-19th century to this day, gradually forming its Collection that presently comprises around 3,000 pieces.

The book presents a selection of 157 creations by significant Greek artists. Three broad themes are taken in to account, centred on “frames of reference” which have at times, yet consistently, preoccupied and inspired Greek artists reference to antiquity: the approach of everyday life; landscape as a guide to artistic expression.
