Ilan Averbuch

Shelomo Selinger
The 36 Righteous Men, 1975; The Binding of Isaac, 1978; The Woman Prisoner, 1970; Life, 1965. Selinger is famous for his large commemoration sites. He works mainly in granite, a hard rock that demands a high level of competence and determination. In most of his sculptures two figures are carved out of one piece of stone, creating the duality of combination and contrast. Assaf Lipschitz
