the Synagogue on Yom Kippur.
Painted in 1878, it is a beautifully
detailed painting showing Jews
huddled together in prayer, clutch-
ing Torah scrolls. This is one of the
artist's most well known works, so
large it covers an entire wall.
Another opportunity afforded by
no other museum is the chance to,
see the unique sculptures of
Alexander Archipenko. Although
much of his early work was de-
stroyed, the museum's outstand-
ing collection — largest of any
museum — includes work that was
saved and shipped from Berlin to
Tel Aviv in 1933. In all, the muse-
um owns over 30 Archipenko sculp-
tures.
Ms. Atzmon guides me into a
gallery displaying these unusual
sculpto-paintings, in bronze, wood,
terra cotta, bronze, and plaster.
Many are the forms of women, in-
cluding Woman at her Toilet, .
Woman With a Fan, and Kneeling
Woman.

ings the museum owns, including
details from works by Marc Cha-
gall and Andy Warhol.
The artist worked very careful-
ly on this mural. "He even took the
exact measurements of our wall
and then he made a special work
as a gift to the museum," says Ms.
Atzmon.
It's a museum which has fulfilled
the first mayor's prediction and
which has been the city's pride
since the start. "It was a strange
village with a museum, two the-
aters, an opera, a very big library,"
author Yoram Kaniuk once relat-
ed about growing up in Tel Aviv.
"It was still sand — and there was
a museum!" ❑

There are works by other promi-

the museum — paintings by Pi-
casso, Matisse, Miro, Van Gogh,
Gaugin, Monet, Renior, Pissaro —
enough to delight any avid art

But we continue to focus on the
works of Jewish artists as we vis-
