Miriam Cabessa

Helmet Mounted on Canvas, 150X122 cm>

Miriam Cabessa is an artist who lives and works in Tel Aviv and New York, winner of the Ministry of Culture’s Lifetime Achievement Award for 2022.

In 1997 Kabsa represented Israel at the Venice Biennale. She is the first winner

of the Gutsdiener Award and presented a solo exhibition at the Tel Aviv Museum. She exhibited in solo and group exhibitions in Israel and around the world. Cabessa is in the collections of the Israel Museum, the Tel Aviv Museum, the Haifa Museum, the British Museum in London, the National Museum of Women in the Arts – Washington, the University Museum in Washington, the National Museum of Texas and many other collections.

Two of her works are currently on display in the new exhibition of the Tel Aviv Museum’s permanent collection: “Material Imagination: Israeli Art from the Museum’s Collection”.

In 2017, after an international career and twenty years of extensive and successful activity in New York, Cabessa opened a studio in Israel and now she works and creates in Tel Aviv as well. Miriam’s works take place at the meeting of the volcanic eruption of emotion with her absolute control over the material. Her masterful skill with the tools of painting, her body or her work tools (never with brushes) in front of the wild release of her passions and desires are, also, relationships that she allows us to be present to, like voyeurs, and discover a little about us through them.
