Micha Ullman is one of Israel’s leading sculptors, known for his politically oriented land art and conceptual art projects, many of which involve trenches, holes, and other elements situated underground. An example is Library, an installation in Berlin on the site where a Nazi book-burning took place in 1933. Ullman represented Israel at the Venice Art Biennale in 1980 and the São Paolo Biennale in 1989. Since 1991, he has held a professorship at the State Academy of Art and Design Stuttgart and is a member of the Berlin Academy of Art. He lives in Israel and Germany.
