Dear Richard
Nathan Alterman was one of Israel's greatest poets.
You can find his bio in wikipedia. The sculpture was
installed in front of the famous cafe Kasit where all
the Israeli "Bohemia", actors, writers, artists etc.
used to spend days and nights talking and meeting.
This legendary cafe no longer exists.
