Event in honor of the exhibition book, Shalom Sebba: As a Matter of Fact

Encouter with the authors of the articles: Naama Bar-Or, curator of the exhibition; Dr. Olga Levitan; Dr. Doron J. Lurie; David Pikielny; Dr. Galia Bar Or, editor of the book and discussion moderator

For decades, the mystery of the life and work of the gifted artist Shalom Sebba (1897–1975) has confounded the art world in Israel. Sebba was a painter and stage- and set-designer, a photographer, a master craftsman in metal etching, an illustrator and graphic designer, who also collaborated with architects in artistic projects in the public sphere. And although his name has been almost forgotten by the general public, he is cherished by artists and his works have not been discarded. They have been gathered by collectors, displayed in group exhibitions, and displayed at a solo exhibition in 1994.

The book accompanying the exhibition, edited by Dr. Galia Bar Or and published by Tel Aviv Museum of Art, sheds light on unexplored aspects of Sebba’s output, and features many additional works to those on view at the exhibition. The discussion will focus on the new research presented in the book, and on the enigma of Sebba’s artistic biography.
