Menashe Kadishman was born in 1932 in Tel Aviv. Studied with the sculptor Moshe Sternschuss and afterwards with the sculptor Rudi Lehmann. He traveled to London in 1959 where he studied at the St. Martin's School of Art and at Slade School of Art. He returned to Israel in 1972 and ever since has been living and working in Tel Aviv.
Kadishman is most known for his beautiful metal and iron large-scale simplistic urban sculptures. He is inspired by biblical stores such as the Sacrifice of Yitzhak which are creatively transformed to new narratives. Over the last forty years he has had numerous exhibitions across the world, at the Jewish Museum (New York), Israel Museum (Jerusalem), National Art Gallery (Beijing), National Art Gallery (Bangkok), Suermondt Ludwig Museum (Aachen, Germany), the Museum of Modern Art (Kamakura, Japan) and many more museums and leading international galleries. He represented Israel at the Venice Biennale in 1978 when he created for the Israeli pavilion a herd of blue metal sheep.
In 1995 Kadishman won Israel's most honorary prize, the Israel Price for Plastic Arts, which was added to a long list of prizes he won previously. His works are in collections of renowned museums across the world.
Kadishman currently has a major retrospective at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art.
