Additional Details: This museum exhibition poster was published for Arikha Avigdor’s 1998–1999 retrospective at the Israel Museum in Jerusalem. The image features three carefully folded shirts—one blue, one black, and one red—rendered with Avigdor’s characteristic precision and sensitivity to light, form, and texture. A French-Israeli artist born in Romania, Avigdor was renowned for his mastery of realism, often infusing everyday objects with deep emotional and symbolic weight. The depiction of folded shirts, meticulously arranged, speaks to themes of absence, memory, and identity. The chosen colors—blue, black, and red—could suggest personal or cultural narratives, evoking ideas of transition, loss, or even national identity. The work’s stillness and simplicity recall Avigdor’s deep engagement with classical traditions while maintaining a contemporary psychological intensity.
