From the beginning founders and supporters of Artforum Culture Foundation started an art collection of remarkable Greek artists, especially also those, who developed their career abroad. Italy, Germany, France and USA where the places where many Greek artists had to go for political reasons. In Rome, Berlin, Paris or New York they could form their individual style. They were involved in the art scene and influenced other artists as well. Their cultural contribution has not yet been sufficiently appreciated. Art mediators such as Christian Zervos, Teriade or art consultant, galleries and collector Alexander Ioalas played a decisive role in shaping European and American art history.
