About the Item

Untitled 65 by IGAEL TUMARKIN (1933-2021) Mixed media on board 152 x 63 cm (59 ⅞ x 24 ¾ inches) Signed and dated lower left, Tumarkin 65 Numbered 'No6' on the reverse This work is from the most important period of Israeli artist Tumarkin during his time in Paris. Artist biography Peter Martin Gregor Heinrich Hellberg (later Yigal Tumarkin) was born in Dresden, Germany in 1933. His father, Martin Hellberg, was a German theatre actor and director. With his mother, Berta Gurevitch, and his stepfather, Herzl Tumarkin, Tumarkin immigrated to Mandate Palestine when he was two. He served in the Israeli Sea Corps and, after completing his military service, studied sculpture with Rudi Lehman in Ein Hod, a village of artists near Mount Carmel. In 1955, Tumarkin went to Berlin to work as a scenographer for Bertolt Brecht and the Berliner Ensemble. He returned to Israel in 1956 and created his first iron sculpture of two owls sitting on top of each other. Over subsequent years, Tumarkin created sculptures from iron scraps. In 1961, he went to the Negev region and built models of landscape sculptures. Tumarkin travelled to Japan and the US in 1962 to study Japanese painting techniques. A year later, he returned to Israel and created his Desert sculptures in Arad and Dimona. He began sculpting, using weapons and tank parts, creating several public monuments, such as the Peace Monument in Lod and, most notably, the famous Holocaust Memorial in Rabin Square, Tel Aviv. In 2004, Tumarkin received the prestigious Pras Yisrael (Israel Prize) for art.

  • Phenomenon East of the River, Acrylic on Canvas Painting by Paul Jenkins
    By Paul Jenkins
    Located in London, GB
    Phenomenon East of the River by Paul Jenkins (1923 - 2012) Acrylic on canvas 97.2 x 130.2 cm (38 ¹/₄ x 51 ¹/₄ inches) Signed lower right, Paul Jenkins Signed, titled and dated 1993 on the reverse Provenance Private collection, New York, acquired directly from the artist Artist's Biography Born at Kansas City in Missouri (USA), the multi-media artist, poet and playwright Paul Jenkins studied at the Kansas City Art Institute and the Art Students League in New York City. After his discharge from military service at the end of February 1946, he briefly studied playwriting with dramatist George McCalmon at the Carnegie Institute of Technology in Pittsburgh. Thereafter, Jenkins spent four years studying with Japanese American artist Yasuo Kuniyoshi in New York City. His first solo exhibitions were held at Studio Paul Facchetti in Paris in 1954 and the Martha Graham Gallery in New York City in 1956. Over the past thirty years, numerous retrospectives have been curated across the globe and Jenkins’ work can found in national collections from Europe and the United States to Israel, Australia and Japan. The diversity of his work springs from Jenkins’ wealth of eclectic influences. Some of his earliest works included what he called "interior landscapes" influenced by ancient natural forms like the caves he visited in the Ozark Mountains in his native-Missouri. Frequent student visits to the Frick Collection in New York fostered a love of the great masters: Bellini, Holbein, Vermeer, Rembrandt, de la Tour, Turner and Goya. In compliment, lingering student visits to the renowned Eastern collection of the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City evoked powerful sympathy for a monumental Chinese fresco...
