PRESLER PRIVATE MUSEUM IS AN URBAN MUSEUM, WHICH IS LISTED

AMONG THE LEADING ART AND CULTURAL INSTITUTIONS IN ISRAEL. IT IS OWNED

BY MR. YIGAL PRESLER, WHO HAS BEEN COLLECTING AND STUDYING ART FOR

OVER 20 YEARS.

PRESLER PRIVATE MUSEUM WAS OPENED IN 2013 IN SOUTH TEL-AVIV,

IN A THREE-STOREY BUILDING THAT INCLUDES SEVERAL SHOWROOMS, A

SEPARATE LIBRARY OF ART BOOKS AND AN EXPANSIVE ROOF OVERLOOKING THE

CITY. THE MUSEUM MEETS THE STANDARDS OF A PRESTIGIOUS PUBLIC

INSTITUTION IN TERMS OF DISPLAY MEANS, AND IT IS DESIGNED IN A CLASSIC

EUROPEAN STYLE.

THE MUSEUM AIMS TO RESEARCH, COLLECT, DISPLAY AND PRESERVE WORKS OF

ART, BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF ISRAEL. PRESLER PRIVATE MUSEUM IS

MOTIVATED BY THE DESIRE TO DECONSTRUCT THINKING PATTERNS AND

CLASSIFICATIONS WITH REGARD TO THE HISTORY OF ART, AND TO OFFER A NEW

RANGE OF STORIES, ACCENTS AND TRENDS BY EXHIBITING ITS COLLECTIONS.

THUS, A PART OF THE MUSEUM’S DOMAIN OF COMPETENCE INCLUDES

DISCOVERING, EXPOSING AND PURCHASING OF THE WORKS IT EXHIBITS, IN

ORDER TO INTEGRATE THEM IN THE ARTISTIC CONSCIOUSNESS THROUGH

DISPLAY AND DISCUSSION.

THE MUSEUM HOLDS A RICH AND RARE COLLECTION OF EARLY 20TH CENTURY

WORKS, WHICH ARE LOANED TO THE MOST PROMINENT EXHIBITION INSTITUTIONS

IN ISRAEL AND ABROAD. THE COLLECTION FOCUSES ON JEWISH AVANT-GARDE

ART IN THE CLASSICAL TRADITION OF THE MODERN MOVEMENT, EXPLORING

JEWISHNESS AS AN EMBODIMENT OF INTERNATIONALISM, AND CHARACTERIZED

BY WHAT THE ROMANIAN PAINTER M.H. MAXY CALLED A “SPIRIT OF INVENTION,

ORGANIZING SYSTEM, SURPRISE, DISSOCIATION, ABSTRACTION… THE ACTUAL

VIRTUES OF THE JEWISH PLASTIC ART MIND.”
