Jacob Baal-Teshuva Estate
Walkowitz, was a Russian born, turn-of-the century immigrant to the United States, who grew up in New York's Lower East Side. He first studied art at the Educational Alliance, the Cooper Union, and the National Academy of Design. In 1906, Walkowitz journeyed to Europe where he studied at the Academie Julian in Paris and was immersed in the newly emerging innovations of Cubism, Fauvism and the movement towards Abstraction. Upon his return to the United States in 1907, Walkowitz became a fully-fledged convert to Modernism, and his first exhibit, at the Haas Gallery in that year, brought him a measure of notoriety as well as the attention of Stieglitz and other pioneers of Non-Objective art. In subsequent years, he became one of the most exhibited painters shown at the 291 Gallery.
Abraham Walkowitz is perhaps best known for his watercolor studies of Isadora Duncan and the dance. It was during his studies in Paris, that he met dancer Isador Duncan at the studio of Auguste Rodin – meeting that proved to be of major significance in Walkowitz’s life. His numerous drawings recalled Duncan’s figure as his archtype for the next four decades, even well after her death in 1927. In these drawings, highlighted with a color wash defining Duncan’s dress, line is used to react to a model in motion.
Featured in the 2022 Edition of ArtNews Top 200 Collectors, Jacob Baal-Teshuva was recognized as one of the most distinguished international editors and appraisers of modern and contemporary art. Born in Jerusalem in 1929, Baal-Teshuva studied at the Hebrew University there and then, after emigrating to the U.S, continued his studies at New York University while writing as a freelance journalist at the United Nations. As author, curator, scholar, appraiser and collector, fluent in five languages, Baal-Teshuva was engaged in the highest echelon of art collectors and museums across five continents. He forged personal relationships with most of the major artists of the last century, amassing a collection of hundreds of works of art. Baal-Teshuva authored books on Rothko, Christo and Jean Claude, Calder, Warhol, Tiffany, and numerous volumes on Marc Chagall. Sadly, Jacob Baal-Teshuva passed away in early 2022.
