Guided tour at the exhibition Arnon Ben David: The Sorrowful Way (in Hebrew)

Recipient of the 2024 Nata Dushnitsky-Kaplan Foundation Prize for Production of an Art Catalogue.

The Sorrowful Way is a wide-ranging installation comprising paintings, drawings, and photographs. In this exhibition, Arnon Ben-David (b. 1950), one of the most prominent artists of the 1980s and 1990s in Israel, conjures up and reconstructs defining moments in his history as an artist, as well as constitutive encounters with key figures and works in the Israeli and international art field. Ben-David's journey of initiation shifts between various schools (Ahad Ha'am Elementary, Avni Institute, the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design) and the interpersonal space where the artist converses with his teachers and colleagues. The works and their modes of presentation on the gallery walls convey artistic and ethical lessons passed on to the artist over the years, which he now hands down to the next generation.
