Virtual Encounter via Zoom / Calder: Great Yellow Sun (in Hebrew)
Due to the current national security situation, the Museum will be closed to the public. Most activities in physical spaces are postponed until further notice, except for a few events (free of charge, but advance registration is required).
We are all going through extremely trying times. In a bid to help, however modestly, we continue to offer, for the fourth week running, an hour of respite, by providing captivating lectures and encounters every day, free of charge, via Zoom.
This week we will recall past exhibitions at the Museum, get to know some of the beloved works in its collection, and visit important collections around the world. We invite you, the culture-loving public, to enjoy an hour of curiosity.
We wish everyone days of peace.

Calder: Great Yellow Sun / Lecturer: Shahar Molcho, curator of the exhibition
Alexander Calder (1898–1976), one of the most fascinating 20th-century modernists, developed his original language in New York and Paris between the two world wars. He absorbed the ideas of Surrealism, Dada, and Abstraction, but developed his own unique style. The successful exhibition presented at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art opened a window onto his oeuvre through works in diverse media, created over five decades—from his early pencil drawings to one of the last mobiles he created in the last year of his life. This is a unique opportunity to hear from the curator of the exhibition about the artist's extraordinary artistic output.
Note: This activity is in Hebrew only.
