From the gallery to the museum.
We are delighted to share that Lihi Turjeman’s Scroll (2025) has been acquired by the מוזיאון ישראל, ירושלים Jerusalem, through the museum’s Here & Now Contemporary Israeli Art Acquisitions Committee.
Lihi now joins a remarkable group of Sommer artists represented in the museum’s collection, including Guy Ben-Ner, Sharon Ya’ari, Shai Azoulay, Yehudit Sasportas, and many others.
Spanning generations, mediums, and artistic practices, these works entered the museum at different moments and through different paths. Together, they form a living portrait of contemporary Israeli art.
Congratulations to Lihi Turjeman and to the Israel Museum on this meaningful addition.
