DESTE’s Summer Convergence Offers the Art World a Rare Pause Between Market Frenzies

The article covers the DESTE Foundation's summer convergence on Hydra, Greece, which offers the art world a respite between market frenzies. It highlights works by Greek artists Sofia Rozaki and Danae Io, whose pieces explore identity, memory, and the impact of politics and economics. The foundation's exhibition "In a Bright Green Field" builds on its legacy of promoting contemporary Greek art, alongside other Athens shows like Marlene Dumas's "Cycladic Blues" at the Museum of Cycladic Art and Michael Rakowitz's "Allspice" at the Acropolis Museum.
