Roy Lichtenstein
Honors Rabin

Jerusalem (JTA) — The artist
Roy Lichtenstein has donated one
of his sculptures to Jerusalem's
Israel Museum in memory of slain
Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak
Rabin.
The modern steel sculpture,
which will be unveiled in the pres-
ence of the Rabin family, will
stand in Daniel Park, in the
Jerusalem municipality complex.
Mr. Lichtenstein, 73, was one
of the founders of the 1960s Pop
Art movement.
Known as Modern Head, the
10-yard-high sculpture depicts
two simplified heads in profile,
combined with other abstract
shapes often seen in Mr. Licht-
* enstein's paintings.
According to Suzanne Landau,
curator of the Israel Museum's
Collection of Modern Art, "This
sculpture is very special. It uses
the vocabulary of painting as if
it were a drawing in space."
The sculpture, which was do-
nated jointly by Mr. Lichtenstein
and art dealer Jeffrey Loria, is
said to be worth $2.5 million.

Turkish Official
Is Berated

Washington (JTA) — Turkey's
chief foreign policy emissary was
sorely mistaken if he thought that
the American Jews sitting around
a table with him were there to
compliment his government's in-
/— creased military cooperation with
Israel.
One by one, the eight Jewish
officials gathered at the Turkish
Embassy ticked off recent anti-
Semitic and anti-Israel state-
ments by senior Turkish officials
and in the media.
Abdullah Gul, Turkey's minis-
ter of state with close ties to the
\— )prime minister, listened patient-
ly at the one-hour session, which
was arranged by the American
Jewish Committee and attended
by representatives of the Anti-
Defamation League, B'nai B'rith
and the American Israel Public
Affairs Committee.
The meeting came at a time
when Turkish society is wrestling
with the thorny question of
\ 3 - whether to maintain its secular
traditions or move toward an Is-
lamic state. Last year's election
saw the rise of the highest rank-
ing Islamist to government, Prime
Minister Necmettin Erbakan.
Mr. Erbakan's embrace of
Libya and Iran has further fueled
concern over the direction of the
country.
At the same time, however, a
\ Dhigh-level Turkish delegation vis-
ited the Jewish state to strength-
en Israeli-Turkish military
relations. E]
