The Rappaport Collection at the Tel Aviv
Museum |
A new exhibit at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art features
works from the Bruce and Ruth Rappaport Collection, which focuses on
post-impressionism, intimisme, and the Paris school. Most of the works show a
predilection toward themes that center on man and his immediate surroundings –
family life, love, and motherhood. Although most of the artists
represented in the collection are French, such as Pierre-Auguste Renoir, the
exhibition also includes works by Austrian Egon Schiele, Russians Marc Chagall,
Mikhail Larionov, and Natalia Goncharova, and American William Zorach.
Where: Tel Aviv Museum of Art.

Mark Rothko Exhibit in Tel Aviv |
The Tel Aviv Museum of Art is presenting, for
the first time in Israel, a retrospective of works by Mark Rothko (1903-1970),
one of the pillars of the New York School artists, who were identified in the
late 1940s and early 1950s as the painters of abstract expressionism. The works
of Tel Aviv-based photographer Barry Frydlender also are on display, providing a
glimpse of daily life in Israel from the days of the first initfada to the
disengagement from Gaza.
Another new exhibition at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, “It’s a Small World After
All,” was inspired by the 17 miniature rooms from the collections of Helena
Rubinstein and was designed to delight children and adults alike.
