Meetings with Zvi Tolkovsky

Zvi Tolkovski is an Israeli artist, curator, teacher, collector. We wanted to meet Zvi since long ago, even before we initiated Art-in-Process.com, due to his unique artistic style and wide cultural baggage.
We had met Zvi at his studio at Dereh Hebron st., Jerusalem, and also later, when he moved to a new studio at Givat Shaul. We asked for Zvi’s opinion on contemporary art in Israel and abroad, inquired about his artistic methods, the experience as a teacher at the Betzalel Arts Academy, and also about his collections.
