The Herzliya Museum of Contemporary Art
Jan Rauchwerger: THE BIG GROVE

Curator: Dr. Aya Lurie

Jan Rauchwerger is known as a wonderful portrait painter, and his numerous exhibitions at key museum venues in Israel and abroad have been widely recognized.

The portraits of Galit Rauchwerger, the artist’s wife, whom he has been painting for 35 years, became the center of special attention of the exhibition curator for the first time.

The traditional theme “Portrait of the Artist’s Wife”, familiar from the works of great masters, does not lose its relevance today.
All the works presented at the exhibition were written without the thought that someday, by the will of the curator, they would be brought together under one roof.
