Modern Be’er Sheva was built by the state of Israel as the Negev’s capital city and as a symbol of making the desert bloom.

Following and supplementing the exhibition Concrete Dreams we are presenting two artworks that conduct a dialogue with the tradition of Israeli construction and the associations it evokes - the daring and power embodied in construction with concrete.

Like the light in her photographs, Dalia Amotz is elusive and hard to define within Israel’s art world. Amotz (1938-1994) is known in the milieu of artists and photographers as an original creative artist, uncompromising, with a singular artistic language and intellectual depth, and whose career was brief.

The Negev Museum of Art joins other museums and galleries, in Israel and world-wide, presenting exhibitions honouring the 80th birthday of Buenos Aires-born Osvaldo Romberg, the Israeli-international artist.

Light, darkness, landscape, the human body, portraits and still-lifes that are shown in this exhibition are typical motifs in the work of Hanna Sahar (b. 1966) over twenty years.

The exhibition by Etti Abergel extends over all the museum’s spaces, as a continuing installation which is structured in chapters.

After six years of changing exhibitions, the Negev Museum of Art is proud to present an exhibition of works from the Museum's collection, displayed throughout its spaces. On show are works in different art forms - painting, sculpture, drawing, and printing, as well as video art.

The collection began taking shape gradually in the 1960s, when the Museum of Art was still a division of the Negev Museum of Archaeology. This may explain the strong presence of Israeli works from the 1950s and 1960s, which is also reflected in the current exhibition. Over the past few years, the collection has grown and more recent works have been added.

Journeys focuses on the past twenty-five years of Heller’s work, particularly on the prints and the diverse techniques he used since the turn of the century at the Jerusalem Print Workshop, and on the paintings that accompanied the process.

Did you read Superman when you were young? Did you know it was created by two Jewish guys in America? Now meet some other comics artists you probably don’t know: the superheroines of everyday life created by Jewish women.

The exhibition is a song of praise to wonder women, those magnificent women who do everything faultlessly…and on high heels.

In this exhibition we meet the unique worlds of four female artists bringing to the fore ideas from a feminine, traditional and cultural perspective.

The donkey lived here long before we did, and will be here long after we're gone. His chronicles as a local symbol have known ups and downs, just like us – who have suffered cultural shocks in the man-time-place relationship,and will continue doing so.
