ARTSPACE GALLERY would
like to express its deep appreciation to Adele Pressman-Gardner and
Marlen Grebler, without whose help the gallery would not exist. ARTSPACE is a gallery representing leading contemporary Israeli artists. It is also the home of Linda Stern Zisquit, an American-born poet. Located in Jerusalem’s German Colony, the house-turned-gallery is open to the public three times a week. ARTSPACE features exhibitions as well as a permanent display of works by Israeli artists, including Larry Abramson, Ruth Kestenbaum Ben-Dov, Michael Kovner, Moshe Kupferman, Naftali Rakuzin, Joshua Neustein, Zvi Tolkovsky and Jordan Wolfson. In Fall 1994, shortly after a prominant Jerusalem gallery for contemporary art had closed, Zisquit opened ARTSPACE with an exhibit of Pamela Levy’s small works; the show was held concurrently with the Tel Aviv Museum’s retrospective of American-born Levy’s larger canvasses. Since that time the gallery has continued with new exhibits every five to seven weeks. “I never intended to open an art gallery. It happened organically, out of friendship and passion. I write poetry, teach literature, have a large family. But the art in Israel is as complex and compelling as the place it reflects, and Jerusalem, while not an art center like Tel Aviv, has a vibrant and exciting community of artists, a local population interested in its culture, and visitors who want to explore the city beyond its tourist attractions - for all of these reasons I responded to the idea, and am committed to the reality of an active ARTSPACE - and hope to welcome you here soon.” - Linda Zisquit, Director  |
