Igael Tumarkin (1933–2021), born in Germany, was one of Israel’s most important artists. Working primarily in sculpture, he also created prints, paintings, and photographs. He studied sculpture in Ein Hod, worked at the Berliner Ensemble in East Germany, and was influenced by Dada, Pop Art, and the French avant-garde. In the 1960s, he developed his assemblage style, incorporating weapons and other materials to create anti-war and politically charged sculptures and monuments. From the 1970s onward, his works combined art-historical references with Palestinian and Bedouin folk imagery. He installed dozens of monuments across Israel, including the Holocaust and Revival Memorial in Rabin Square.
