Please feel free to ask for particulars and/or additional photographs. . Tony Spiteris was a Greek art critic based in Venice, who was then acting as General Secretary of AICA (International Association of Art Critics). From the mid-sixties, he collaborated with the Cyprus Government as advisor on cultural matters, and in this capacity he curated the first national participation of Cyprus in the Venice Biennale. Among various proposals, Spiteris set apart six young artists with a mean age of 35, bringing forth some of the most pioneering work on the Cypriot scene at the time, and reflecting its gradual and delayed transition to the movements of modernism and abstraction. The works presented varied in style and form; there was painting, reliefs and wood sculptures in series, moving between geometric abstraction and abstract expressionism, and elements of constructivism and surrealism. Evidently marked by the artists formative training in various centres abroad, they nevertheless retained, as Spiteris put it, "a taste of their native land, without ever slipping into folklore rhetoric". The artists shared a small space at the back of the Italian Pavilion to exhibit a total of 18 paintings and 4 sculptures. The hall was vast, separated by panels and shared by many countries that did not possess a space of their own. Despite all sorts of difficulties, the first Cypriot exhibition was properly set up, the resulting feedback was encouraging and the thrill of this new beginning was extraordinary. Chrysochos was the only one absent from the Venice opening; Christoforos Savva, already suffering from an illness, died of heart attack in Sheffield a few weeks later.
