The 15 works featured in \u003ci\u003eIrruption of Antiquity\u003c\/i\u003e are testament to this anachronistic intermixing of modern aesthetics with classical imagery, specifically that of ancient Greek art and mythology. Serving as both documentation and extension of the exhibition installed across two floors of Athens' Benaki Museum, this book collects writings by the exhibition's curator, Alison Gingeras, who probes the charged iconographic tensions between objects spanning Neolithic Greece, classical antiquity, the Byzantine world and the modern Greek era, and Waliszewska's intense psychological tableaux. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Aleksandra Waliszewska\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 6185039478\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9786185039479\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Deste Foundation for Contemporary Art\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/13\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Aleksandra Waliszewska","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48997577457919,"sku":"9786185039479","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/aleksandra-waliszewska-aleksandra-waliszewska-9786185039479","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
