This fully illustrated book is published in conjunction with an exhibition of works from the Tel Aviv Museum of Art held at MartinGropius-Bau in Berlin, to mark 50 years of diplomatic relations between Germany and Israel. The publication features 72 works selected from three
departments at the Tel Aviv Muuseum of Art: Modern Art, Prints
and Drawings, and Israeli Art. The focus lies on modern classics
by artists such as Alexander Archipenko, Max Beckmann,
Marc Chagall, Edgar Degas, Erich Heckel, Alberto Giacometti,
Wassily Kandinsky, Jackson Pollock, Ludwig Meidner, Pablo
Picasso, Mark Rothko, Egon Schiele, and Lesser Ury, which are
supplemented by video works and installations by up-andcoming
Israeli artists such as Yael Bartana, Guy Ben-Ner, Nevet
Yitzhak, Nira Pereg, and Michal Helfman, who address personal,
social and political topics. This juxtaposition creates a unique
and stimulating dialogue, reveals intriguing relationships
and allows for a new reading of the works. Offering a broad
view of its multifaceted collection, the book also details the
history of the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, from its beginnings in a
modest residential home in 1932 to its impressive latest building
addition in 2011, and allows a peek into the development of its
collection, from its first works to the most recent acquisitions.
