Tel Aviv, 27 Dec. (askanews) – “It’s a very exciting moment for us, we are in the room of the modern art collection of the Tel Aviv Museum, review all these exhibited works which return to their place after more than a year that were in the museum bunker, safe and secure from the danger of missiles, is very important, as is making them visible and accessible to the public.”
Lior Misano, assistant to the Director of the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, emotionally recounts the reopening of the rooms of the modern art collections, with the works of Klimt, Picasso, Dalì, Magritte, Ernst and Kandinsky just to name some of the exceptional artists on display . The modern art rooms had remained empty after the start of the missile attacks on Israeli cities, with the masterpieces physically moved by the museum employees themselves into specially prepared storage bunkers. Now art returns to show its message, and it also does so with an exhibition called “I don’t want to forget” in which the artists were called to capture the evolution of the memory of the tragic events of October 7th. With a basic question: what power can art have in times of crisis?
