I. Lalaouni & D. Plantzos (eds.), Form Follows Function: 200 + 200. Decorative and Applied Arts 1621-2021. Athens: Ilias Lalaounis Jewelry Museum (2022).

This bilingual edition (Greek-English) is published on the occasion of the exhibition “Form Follows Function: 200+200. Decorative and Applied Arts 1621-2021” held under the patronage of H.E. the President of the Hellenic Republic Ms. Katerina Sakellaropoulou.

“On the occasion of the bicentenary of the Greek Revolution, the Ilias Lalaounis Jewelry Museum decided to organize an exhibition with a historical angle: “Form Follows Function, 200 + 200” is dedicated to the development of new features in the applied and decorative arts in the “Age of Revolutions” and beyond. The exhibition does not, however, limit itself to the Greek Revolution. Within a still broader Greek perspective, it focuses on the artistic and functional connotations of the objects, drawing on excellent examples of European material culture that epitomize everyday life and highlight the importance that art conveys through the passing of time, through what we understand as “history”…”
