Tel Aviv, Israel.- The Tel Aviv Museum of Art is proud to present “I Am a Berliner”, on view at the museum through March 24th. What does it mean to speak of “the persistence of painting”? In Berlin today, this expression represents a remarkable diversity of practices ranging from abstraction and realism to highly expressive, narrative, and post-narrative painting. These distinct painterly positions, which are represented by the 18 artists featured in this exhibitions, all involve a self-reflexive investigation of the painterly process and of the nature of contemporary painting.
