Grschebina’s talent developed without major recognition until after her death, when a body of work was discovered in a hidden storage niche in her son's apartment. In 2000, he gave the entire archive – including some 1,400 photographs – to the Israel Museum. Curated by Judith Caplan, Associate Curator of Photography, the exhibition showcases Grschebina’s distinctive oeuvre and illuminates the phenomenon of emigre avant-garde artists who arrived in Palestine following the rise of the Nazi regime in Germany.
The exhibition will be on view from September 22 to December 9, 2008. -- www.imjnet.org.il
