The Facts
On October 8, 2026, Pace Gallery announced the exhibition 'In an Overcast Sky' by Kylie Manning at the B & M Theocharakis Foundation for the Fine Arts and Music in Athens. The show runs from October 6, 2026 to February 21, 2027, featuring works created specifically for the exhibition alongside loans from Pace Gallery and private collections. Manning's paintings, made with materials such as iron oxide, volcanic ash, and crushed stone, explore movement, memory, and geography, drawing on her upbringing in Alaska and Mexico. The exhibition is curated by Akis Kokkinos and occupies the foundation's second floor as an immersive setting.
The Signal
The exhibition marks Manning's first major solo presentation in Greece and signals growing institutional recognition for the artist, whose work is held in collections including the Baltimore Museum of Art, the Columbus Museum of Art, and the Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami. For collectors, the show offers insight into Manning's evolving practice, which bridges figuration and abstraction through a materially intensive process. The Athens venue's focus on Greek mythologies and natural light aligns with Manning's thematic concerns, potentially broadening her European audience.
