Art tour: The Friends and Patrons of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao
Josephine Meckseper at the Museum on the Seam
Last December I had the huge pleasure and honor to help coordinate a week-long Art tour in Israel for the Friends and Patrons of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao. The trip was organized by the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao with the logistic support of Mikel Gonzalez from from Viajes Mundo Amigo S.A. It was the group’s first visit to Israel and we created an in-depth program which included visits to vibrant art venues in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem and exclusive meetings with Israeli artists and art professionals working in those cities.
I take this opportunity to thank again the organizers, the group, the museum and of course the participants who kindly hosted us.
Here are the highlights from the trip in pictures:
Visit to Dvir Gallery and meeting with the owner, Shifra Shalit
Visit to Gil Brandes’ private collection and meeting with the curator Hadas Maor
Visit to Sommer Gallery and meeting with the owner Irit Sommer and the artist Yehudit Sasportas
Visit to the Museum on the Seam and meeting with its director, Raphi Etgar
Visit to the Design Museum in Holon and meeting with its curator, Galit Gaon
Visit to the CCA in Tel Aviv and meeting with director Sergio Edelstein, curator Chen Tamir and artist Michal Helfman
Visit to Michael Rovner’s studio
