Collection of items related to Tat Rama Gallery, founded by the Dotan brothers, Danny and Uri, on Shenkin Street in Tel Aviv in 1984. The collection includes all three issues of the art periodical Tat Rama, newspaper clippings, two postcards and a photo, and 16 original drawings by Menashe Kadishman drawn in the gallery. One of the sketches appears on the cover of issue no. 1 of the periodical from September 1984. Three of the drawings are 100x70 cm, while the others are smaller - from potcard size to 50x35 cm. Many of them are various versions of the illustration which appeared on the cover of the magazine, and beside them are portraits of Danny and Uri Dotan, and a drawing which is reminiscent of the statue "The Binding of Isaac" places at the entrance to the Tel Aviv Museum, as topic with which Kadishman was preoccupied with in his work. Twelve of the drawings are signed by Kadishman. The collection also includes an advertising poster for a Purim Parade which the Dotan brothers produced on Sheinkin Street in 1984. The poster has drawings of human figures by Uri Dotan. 70X49 cm. Other artists whose works are featured in the periodical: Yona Wollach, Honi HaMeagel, Alex Levac, Yoram Kupermintz, Menashe Kadishman Yehoshua Neustein, Tzachi Ostrovsky, Michael Druks Pinhas Cohen Gan, Moshe Gershuni Meir Agasi, Harold Rubin Eitan Pimentel (sho painted the cover of Ehud Banai's debut album) and others. The Dotan brothers and the Tat Rama Gallery are considered the founders of Shenkin Street as an artistic, young and innovative street. When they arrived there at the early eighties, it was a dull, old fashioned street, with an elderly population, mostly Haredis and craftsmen. The Dotan brothers envisioned an alternative community of artists, creating alternative culture. They opened "Sheink-In" art gallery and later "Tat-Rama", and for a while their vision became a reality, which affected deeply Tel Aviv and Israeli culture. Various sizes and conditions. General condition - good.
