Overview
Tamar Getter born 1953, Tel Aviv. Lives and works in Tel Aviv.
Getter played a significant role in the development of Israeli conceptual art in the 1970s. Her unique practice, combining conceptualism, formalism and expressionism, includes mainly large-scale wall paintings and repetitive drawing series, which often incorporate fictive texts and reference Western art history and architecture.
T. Getter studied at the State Art Teacher Training College in Ramat HaSharon (1975-1976), but was mainly trained privately by influential Israeli painter Raffi Lavie (1937-2007) in the early 1970s. Between 1975 and 1979 she studied poetics and comparative literature at Tel Aviv University, and alongside her text-influenced art she publishes fiction. During the 1980s she lived in Frankfurt, Germany, where she received a studio fellowship at the Künstlerhaus Mousonturm (1989-1990). She taught at the David Azrieli School of Architecture, Tel Aviv University, and currently teaches at Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design, Jerusalem.
