"An event of outstanding importance is the current showing at the Forsythe Gallery of some twenty oils and gouaches by the contemporary Greek painter Alecos Condopoulos. This is truly a handsome affair, and should by no means be missed by the many who are interested in good painting. This is only the second one-man showing of his work in this country, but his paintings have found their way into several notable American collections." - Jean Paul Slusser, 1965.
