TEL AVIV MUSEUM OF ART EXHIBITION CATALOGUES
(2010) – NEO-EXPRESSIONIST PAINTING FROM BERLIN
The exhibition includes important works by some of the prominent Neo-Expressionist artists active in Berlin
during the 1970s and 1980s: Karl Horst Hödicke, Rainer Fetting, Salomé, Helmut Middendorf and Peter
Chevalier. Their works represent interesting aspects of the "back to painting" trend that had swept over the
centers of the western world, in Europe and the USA, as a backlash to the minimal and conceptual art of
the 1960s and 1970s. The Neo-Expressionist artists reacted to their complex reality in West Berlin in the
shadow of the Cold War, through sensuous, tactile painting that assimilated the colorful intensity and formal
elements of German Expressionism of early 20th century and of American Abstract Expressionism.

(2010) - SAM HAVADTOY: BEAUTY IS MYSTERY
The exhibition presents portraits the artist made inspired by paintings by Alexej von Jawlensky in the
collection of the museum. In some of the paintings, the figure's outlines are very clear, whereas in others,
Jawlensky's paintings take on a new interpretation by Havadtoy, almost devoid of figurative aspect. The
process of work, combining painting, erasing and concealing the image, at times by gluing onto it a layer of
lace, leads Havadtoy's work towards minimalist, almost abstract painting that seeks to reach a sublime
spiritual experience through its intensity.

(2010) – AVIGDOR ARIKHA: SELF PORTRAITS
This exhibition is presented as homage to Avigdor Arikha, who died this year at the age of 81. The
exhibition includes 19 self-portraits painted by Arikha between 1948 and 2001. Compared with earlier
portraits, which depict the artist as a soldier or a pianist, the later ones deal with his artistic oeuvre as a
painter and as an observer of his work. More than anything else, Arikha focused in his last years on his
own posture and facial expression, seeking to capture the animate and the inanimate, with an almost
defeatist awareness of the inability of art to seize the transient.

(2010) - LARRY ABRAMSON: PAINTINGS 1975–2010
comprehensive exhibition of paintings by leading Israeli artist Larry Abramson. Abramson's work comprises
mostly of series centered on one leading motif, e.g., The Black Square, The Yellow Square, Columns,
Beams. Over the years, the series have accumulated more and more images and contexts that serve
Abramson as linguistic units, recurring in his work to create each time new painterly sentences. Abramson
began painting in the mid-1970s, concurrently with the appearance of new artistic forms in Europe and the
USA, especially "New Painting," which challenged the conventions of conceptual and minimalistic neoavant-garde. Against this background, as an artist challenged by art history and theory, Abramson
constructed his painting as a form of inter-era hybrid-painting; painting which, on the one hand, refers to
values from the past, yet on the other hand offers an alternative system of ideas and concepts centered on
the desire to rehabilitate painting as a relevant medium for the expression of the complicated reality of this
place, where he lives.

(2010) – Si 51: TZURI GUETA
The combination of sophisticated polymeric knowledge, textile traditions and the human element is the
subject of the exhibition by textile designer Tzuri Gueta. Gueta (b.1968), a graduate of the Shenkar College
of Engineering and Design, has developed over the years surprisingly unsophisticated techniques for
synthesizing natural fibers and synthetic polymers. He crosses between the technological and the traditional
and seeks to expand the surface of fabric and thread using silicone, the polymer Si51, beyond its physical
and functional boundaries.

(2010) - THE SCULPTURE OF EDGAR DEGAS
The exhibition presents Edgar Degas’ (1834–1917) 74 sculptures in bronze. The bronzes were cast from
previously unknown lifetime plasters made directly from Degas’ original waxes, with the artist’s knowledge
and consent. The plaster of Degas’ most important. The plaster of Degas’ most important sculpture, “The
Little Dancer, Aged Fourteen,” was discovered in 2001, leading to the 2004 discovery of the other 73
plasters. It is well documented that every Degas bronze was cast after the artist’s death. His sculptures
focus on five main themes, presented here as five chapters: dancers, dancers backstage, bathing
women, heads and horses.

(2010) – TAMAR GETTER GO 2: WORKS 1974-2010
Tamar Getter is one of the prominent artists of the Israeli avant-garde that developed and peaked in the
1970s. In addition to being a student of Raffi Lavie, one of the most important figures in the domestic
contemporary art scene, whose influence is evident mostly in her composition, Getter’s studies at the Tel
Aviv University Department of Poetics and Comparative Literature during the 1970s have probably been
even more constitutive and significant. Getter’s work expands the understanding of the modernist project
and refers to the artistic object as one of constant research. Tamar Getter’s comprehensive exhibition, “GO
2”, emphasizes her work’s combined, multi-voiced, exaggerated and grotesque utterance.

(2010) – TAL MAZLIACH : THE CONCEPT HAS GONE FOR A WALK
Tal Mazliach’s paintings are constructed like a riddle which the viewer must decipher. Beyond the colorful,
tempting, almost blinding cover, there hides a plethora of images, of figures and of symbols, imbued with
sentences and words that consolidate into a full, complex pictorial and emotional world. A deep, prolonged
observation exposes an intricate layering and reveals yet more details, which eventually become a flickering
puzzle, demanding repeated scrutiny from the viewer.
