He depicts grotesque, tragicomic, and sometimes monstrous subjects with stylistic elements from seventeenth-century Venetian or Dutch painting, but also Cubism, Surrealism, and Pop Art. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/b8422ea0-1a10-11f1-8d71-3969b732b709-rimg-w725-h740-dc13171d-gmir.jpg Photo credit: Alexia AntsakliDakis Joannou established DESTE Foundation for Contemporary Art in 1983.

Our founder Benjamin Bass was all of twenty-five years old when he began his modest used bookstore and sought to create a place where books would be loved, and book lovers could congregate. Ninety years and a move over to Broadway, the Strand is still run by the Bass Family and is home to four floors of over 2.5 million used, new, and rare books, a wide array of bookish gifts, and fun literary events held almost every night of the week. From the dollar carts outside to the Rare Book Room on the third floor, and cheeky graffiti-ing throughout the store courtesy of Steve “EPSO” Powers, the iconic store now stands testament a place for book lovers to explore." } ] } ] ```
