Bemerkung:

Gutes Ex., Umschl. leicht berieben u. stw. etwas fleckig; Bindung etwas gelockert. - Englisch u. Hebräisch. - Over the past decade my art collection has expanded considerably. During these years I have meticulously and diligently acquired, with the help of my collection staff, works of art that I admired and still admire. When the collection grew I wanted to allow the public to enjoy it and I chose to exhibit it at the Tel Aviv University. It is a very special occasion for me to be hosted by this esteemed institute, where I am an alumnus. We decided to open this series of 12 exhibitions of the collection "with a group exhibition around a central theme, a rather challenging decision. We had to choose from all the works in the collection, produced by different artists in different periods and purchased according to my personal taste without any connection to a specific theme, from this we needed to create a homogeneous exhibition which would also illustrate the overriding theme. The curation of Babel, a series of three exhibitions that opens the presentation of the collection, has dealt with this challenge, we hope successfully. ?
