BRIGITTE HOFHERR
Endangered Portraits
FOUGARO BLUE2
11 June - 18 December 2022
On Saturday June 11 2022, FOUGARO ARTCENTER opens in its BLUE2space an interesting painting exhibition entitled “Endangered Portraits” by theGerman artist Brigitte Hofherr.
On the occasion of the tenth anniversary of FOUGARO, which is housed in a former tomato canning factory, we invited Brigitte Hofherr, a specialist in botanical illustrations, to create a series of works about tomatoes, which used to be widely cultivated in the plains of Argolis. The artist has been visiting the Peloponnese for years and has gathered images and data about tomato varieties from the broader region of Eastern Europe which are no longer grown in quantity and have become endangered species.
