George Zongolopoulos'
With the desire to reproduce the sculpture artistically under the supervision of the George Zongolopoulos Foundation in large scale in order to become a landmark for the Domaine, George Skouras came in contact with the George Zongolopoulos Foundation.

The request was studied and the project was implemented with the construction of the sculpture in a suitable size (7.90x1.50x2.85m) for the intended spot. The reproduction was undertaken by the artistic workshop of Messrs. Leonidas and Stelios Gikas, the workshop that has produced a multitude of sculptural works by George Zongolopoulos while the artist was still alive. At the beginning of last summer, the sculpture was installed at Domaine Skouras, becoming a landmark of the winery ever since.

In the context of the first event and the inauguration of the installation of the sculpture, the art historian and collaborator of the George Zongolopoulos Foundation, Mrs. Iris Kritikou, will present the sculpture and talk about the artist.

The "Four Seasons" is the first sculpture in which, in 1993, George Zongolopoulos used, for the first time, color on his perforated steel umbrellas, presenting it at the Venice Biennale
