I Don't Want to Forget: from the Mareva and Arthur Essebag collection

The exhibition features artworks by 25 Israeli artists, nearly all of which were created in response to that life-shuttering day. Some artists directly engage with the testimonies and harrowing images seared into the collective consciousness, while others take a more subtle approach to the trauma; some address fear and terror, while others emphasize tenderness and human connection. The exhibition simultaneously navigates beauty and pain, capturing the horrors of war while offering a sense of empathy and solace.

All the works are from the collection of Mareva and Arthur Essebag, an esteemed couple of art collectors from Paris. Motivated by a sense of shared destiny, they have chosen to support Israeli art in these tragic times of strife.
