comunicato stampa

60 photographies

Rudi Weissenstein was born in Iglau (Czech Republic) in 1910. In the years 1929-1931 he studied at the "graphische Lehr - und Versuchsanstalt" in Vienna. After his immigration to Palestine in 1936 he worked as a photographer and a journalist and in 1940 he opened the "Photohouse Pri-Or" studio on 30 Allenby Street in Tel-Aviv with his wife Miriam.

Rudi's work in documenting the development of Tel Aviv, the biggest city of Israƫl, is probably unparalleled. Every negative in his enormous archive (more than a quarter of a million negatives) is testament to Israel, the character of its inhabitants, the way they dressed and behaved. His photographs give the observer a sense of that is the way we were, that is how we looked. Weissenstein's photographs were displayed in many exhibitions in Israel and abroad and were awarded numerous prizes.
