Gideon Gechtman

After returning from London with his future wife singer/actress Bat-Sheva Zeisler, he created minimalistic art that was typical for that period.These works were described to "didactically demonstrate structural and figurative change in material and appearance.The exhibition, named "Exposure", signified Gechtman's increasing interest in the connection between art and the biographic dimension.On the walls of the gallery were enlarged photographs of the body shaving process before the open heart surgery that Gechtman underwent in 1973.At the closure of the exhibition Gechtman put up obituaries for himself in Israeli dailies Haaretz and the Jerusalem Post, as well as around his home in Rishon LeZion.
