Efrat Natan Art for Sale and Sold Prices

b. 1947 - d. 2008

Born in 1947 in kibbutz Kfar Ruppin, lives and works in Tel aviv, Israel.
From the beginning of the 1970s her work deals with issues of Israeli collective and the values of early Zionism. Her work has a nostalgic dimension and an admiration for the spirit of the early Zionist Settlers, while simultaneously criticising this society and the failures and dangers resulting from any idealistic social perception.
Natan created several installations dealing with the relationship between the viewer and the work of art, while criticising Israeli militarism after the Six Day War. A notable work was the performance “Bust” in which she built a wooden statue, which she wore as a mask. The sculpture was shaped as the letter T, resembling a cross or a plane and limited her vision.
