Creator Bio

Raffi Lavie

1937–2007
Raffi Lavie played a prominent role in shaping avant-garde art in Israel. A founder of the 10+ group in 1965, he was a central figure in the “want of matter” school, promoting collage and the use of inexpensive materials such as plywood. Many of his paintings are characterized by the erasure of images, with scribbles, carvings, and broad strokes of color. Lavie’s work has been featured in more than eighty solo exhibitions and was the subject of a special retrospective at the fifty-third Venice Biennale in 2009.
