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.
