I went to the National Sculpture Gallery yesterday, here's some highlights.

The spirit of Copernicus (1877), by Georgios Vroutos.

Satyr playing with Eros (1877), by Yannoulis Halepas.

Nana (1896-1897), by Georgios Bonanos - inspired by the heroine of Émile Zola's Nana.

Centaur (1901), by Thomas Thomopoulos, who is also featured here on this blog, with a stunning sculpture of a broken angel at the cemetery of Anastasi.

Stout seated woman (1948), by Michael Tombros.

The Eraser (1980), by Gabriela Simossi.

The hunter (from the series States of Mind, 2002), by Pantelis Chandris.

And a sculpture by René Magritte, The Therapeutist (Healer) (1967, a gift by Alexandros Iolas, a known art collector and artist promoter of the Greek world.

 Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen, Typewriter Eraser Scale X, Sculpture Garden, National Gallery of Art, National Mall, Washington DC, 2000.

How many people remember what this represents? Perhaps they still exist, but in the age of computers it is easier to make a whole new corrected copy than to erase and retype in order to correct an error. Similar statues by Oldenburg and van Brugge can be found at Seattle Center and in Las Vegas.
