David Palombo Abstract Sculptures

Israeli, 1920-1966

David Palombo was an Israeli sculptor and painter. He was born in Turkey and immigrated to the Land of Israel with his parents in 1923. In 1940, Palombo began his studies at Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design and from 1942 as a student of sculptor Ze’ev Ben-Zvi. For some time, Palombo was an assistant at Ben-Zvi’s studio and also taught at Bezalel. Work by Palombo is included in the Judaica collection of the Jewish Museum (a well-known Hanukkah menorah). Palombo executed the impressive metal gates of the Tent of Remembrance at the Yad Vashem, the memorial to the martyrs of the holocaust, as well as the gates to the Knesset Building the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization awarded him a scholarship for study in Japan.
