The Estate of Aikaterini Milakoti
By public will dated 23 November 2017, Aikaterini Milakoti bequeathed to her son, Stavros Frangoulidis, all works of art inherited from Efthymios Kalevras. The will was formally published in Katerini on 25 February 2026 under Publication Record No. 642.
Registration of the Present Collection
The inheritance declaration identifies Stavros Frangoulidis as heir to the remaining works of Efthymios Kalevras and expressly records sculptures, sculptural models and drawings, together with an accompanying schedule of works.
