Dani Karavan
1930–2021
The son of the chief landscape architect of Tel Aviv, Dani Karavan began designing site-specific environmental sculptures in Israel in the early 1960s. In 1976, he represented Israel at the Venice Biennale with a work from his series, Environments for Peace. Since then, he has created large-scale environmental sculptures around the world. Among his most notable projects are Passages, Homage to Walter Benjamin (Portbou, Spain, 1990–1994) and The Way of Peace (between Israel and Egypt, 1996–2000). Karavan earned the Israel Prize (1977) and Japan’s Praemium Imperiale Art Prize (1998).
