Vasilis Goulandris

Vassilis P. "Basil" Goulandris (6 September 1913 – 27 April 1994) was a Greek shipowner, and the founder of Greece's first Museum of Modern Art, the Museum of Contemporary Art Andros. He and his wife died childless and left an art collection worth $3 billion, which has been the subject of long-running litigation since she died in 2000.

Early life He was the son of Peter J Goulandris and Chrysa Dambassi.

He had a twin brother Nicholas "Nikos" (1913–83), elder brothers John (1907–50) and George (1908–74) and a younger brother Constantine (1916–78). As they were childless, and much of it was owned through a tangled web of offshore companies, there are several rival claims to the collection.
