Sacrifice of Isaac

Caption Menashe Kadishman was born in Tel Aviv in 1932, and began his artistic career in the early sixties as a minimalist sculptor in London and become a pioneer of conceptual art in the late sixties. His work from this period was well-represented at the 1971-72 show at the Haus Lange Museum in Krefeld. An important international indication of the artist's need to bring nature back into the museum halls was made by Kadishman at the 1978 Venice Biennial when he appeared as a 'shepherd' with live sheep.

The sculpture was a gift from Rachel and Dov Gottesman to the Tel Aviv Museum of Contemporary Art
