Jacob Baal-Teshuva Estate
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.
Menashe Kadishman was born in Tel-Aviv in 1932. He is a graduate of St. Martin's School of Art, University of London. From 1947 to 1950, Kadishman studied with the Israeli sculptor Moshe Sternschuss at the Avni Institute of Art and Design in Tel Aviv, and in 1954 with the Israeli sculptor Rudi Lehmann in Jerusalem. In 1959, he moved to London, where he remained until 1972.
Kadishman’s sculptures of the 1960s were Minimalist in style and designed as to appear to defy gravity through careful balance and construction. “Suspense” is representative of this period. The theme of this sculpture originated from sketches Kadishman made in 1963 and from which he created his first model in wood and stone. A second version was created in stone for his first solo exhibit at London’s Grosvenor Gallery in 1965. The following year, the Israel Museum commissioned Kadishman to create a monumental version for the Museum’s new art garden to be made in steel and later painted yellow. Additional versions of this 10-foot “Suspense” are in the collections of the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington DC of the New Orleans Museum of Art. Kadishman’s sculpture is in the permanent collections of major museums in the United States and around the world including: Museum of Modern Art, New York; Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Philadelphia Museum of Art; Nasher Sculpture Center, Dallas; High Museum of Art, Atlanta; Tate Modern, London; Hara Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo; Museum of Modern Art, Munich; High Park, Toronto; Tel Aviv Art Museum; Uffizi Gallery, Florence Italy.
