then worked from his home
and later moved to the

Jerusalem, which houses a
modern gallery and work-
shop. In 1974, then Prime
Minister Yitzhak Rabin
presented former U.S.
president Gerald Ford with
a Heller sculpture.
Meisler's metal
sculptures have been
commissioned by the Is-
rael government to be
given as gifts to foreign
dignitaries.
Zechuchan of Jerusalem
specializes in hand-blown
glass, and has been selected
by the Israel MuseuM to re-
produce ancient glass ar-
