Biography:
Born in Romania, Avigdor Arikha survived the Holocaust as a young boy. He moved to Palestine in 1944 where he studied at the Bauhaus at Bezalel, Jerusalem. After receiving serious injuries in Israel’s war of Independence, Arikha moved to Paris to study at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. Arikha’s style is always evolving, beginning with figurative works in the 1950’s, moving to abstraction and eventually creating observational studies. He is also a renowned art historian who has curated exhibitions at the Louvre and the Frick Collection in New York to name a few.
