TILLI Lunch and Learn: Virtual Trip to the Mishkan Museum of Art in Israel

“Virtual Trip to the Mishkan Museum in Israel to see Masterpieces Curated by Avi Lubin”

Avi Lubin is the chief curator of the museum and acclaimed international curator and critic. The exhibition features nearly 300 works by 47 Israeli artists who reenvision iconic masterpieces from Western art history—from the Italian Renaissance to Picasso—through the lens of Israel’s unique political, social, and artistic landscape.

Masterpieces weave together two narratives: the legacy of Western art and the evolution of Israeli art. The works on display challenge distinctions between original and copy, local and global, center and periphery. Amid a complex political moment, this exhibition invites viewers to reconsider the meaning of “masterpiece” and the power of reinterpretation.
